2023 Release Calendar Six Shooter Duel! - The MinnMax Show

MinnMax 2023-07-06 | Saddle up, cowfolk! Your rootin' tootin' guest host Kyle Hilliard leads Jacob Geller, Leo Vader, Janet Garcia, and Jeff Marchiafava in the 2023 Release Calendar Six Shooter Duel. This is MinnMax's annual game auction, where the team duels with each other over the games they're most excited to cover for the rest of the year. You remember, this yearly event? That everyone remembers and looks forward to?

From big games like Exoprimal, Starfield, and Baldur's Gate 3, to smaller indies like Cocoon, Viewfinder, and Thirsty Suitors, tune in to find out what games are bullet-worthy. And just which of these varmints will win the shootout for Super Mario Bros. Wonder?

And of course we tackle some challenging questions from the audience, include favorite sandwiches, best movement tech, and whether it's better to drive in a game or in IRL.

A Mario-Tastic Nintendo Direct, FFXVI and Game of Thrones, Diablo 4, Lies of P - The MinnMax Show

MinnMax 2023-06-22 | Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! We are, for the first time, flying without the Ben wind beneath our wings. So if the podcast sounds a little different, that's why - we're still navigating the hosting and technical sides of this transition, and we appreciate your patience!

Host Kelsey Lewin is joined by Jacob Geller, Jeff Marchiafava, and Jenna Stoeber to discuss June's sudden Nintendo Direct and the many Mario games that caught their eye, plus Mythforce and Headbangers Rhythm Royale. Jacob and Kelsey delve into the ways Final Fantasy XVI draws from Game of Thrones, while Jeff and Jenna languish praise on the Hellraiser vibes in Diablo 4.

And of course we tackle some challenging questions from the audience about cards and characters. As always, you say "jump" we say "how many times has humanity jumped through the span of time?"

Join Us For The Deepest Dive On The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

MinnMax 2023-05-10 | Join MinnMax's multi-part community game club discussion on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on the Nintendo Switch! We're going way beyond the standard review or podcast discussion with The Deepest Dive. This is a funky one, since we won't have standard story-based stopping points for each episode. For the first discussion we're going to focus on the "phenomena" objective in the North West area of the map, but we want you to explore and enjoy the game the way you want to enjoy it, so we'll be primarily talking about the game's systems in the discussions. The first episode will have Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Leo Vader, and Jeff Marchiafava, but we'll likely be shaking up the crew as episodes roll out. You can submit your thoughts on the game and unlock the podcast version of The Deepest Dive by supporting MinnMax on Patreon! patreon.com/minnmax

So here's the general area we're focusing on in the first discussion and when we're making the post looking for your comments on Patreon...
