Chris Remo is an American video game designer, composer, writer, and former journalist. As a journalist, he contributed to the original Idle Thumbs website and later co-founded its flagship podcast in 2008. He also wrote for Shacknews and was the Editor at Large for Gamasutra until 2010. He composed the music for Thirty Flights of Loving, Gone Home, Spacebase DF-9 and Firewatch. He co-wrote The Cave with Ron Gilbert. He was formerly the community manager for Double Fine Productions. In early 2014, he left Double Fine to join his Idle Thumbs co-stars, Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman, at Campo Santo.
Chris Remo began his career as a video game journalist, writing for Adventure Gamers. He co-founded Idle Thumbs, a video game culture website, with colleagues from Adventure Gamers and The International House of Mojo in 2004. As a professional journalist, he was Editor in Chief of Shacknews and later Gamasutra, becoming Editor at Large. After Idle Thumbs went dark in 2007, Remo revived it as a podcast in late 2008 with other Thumbs writers Nick Breckon (then of Shacknews) and Jake Rodkin (then of Telltale Games). While podcasting for Idle Thumbs, he composed and performed "Space Asshole", a satirical song about the sociopathic protagonist of Red Faction: Guerrilla, which went viral. He left his position at Gamasutra in 2010 to work as community manager for Boston-based Irrational Games, ending the first run of the Idle Thumbs podcast at the same time. The show's then-final episode was recorded live at the 2010 Penny Arcade Expo.
