Hello Minn Max crew, and mostly Ben for this one ! You've mentioned coming to Quebec on a trip not too long ago and have tried pronouncing our world famous swears a couple of times since then. Since they were (sadly) not quite up to snuff, I thought I'd humbly offer an guide to Quebec swears for the American aficionado to see if it can make you a bit better in Québécois ! Here's a non-exhaustive list of how to pronounce the most useful swears : - Calisse = Kaw-Lease Def : It simply means a Chalice. - Tabarnak = Ta-Bar-Knack Def : It comes from the word «tabernacle», the big box in a church containing the ciborium and the sacramental bread (also named Host in english it seems). - Esti = Eh-Stee Def : «Hostie» is the sacrmental bread. Mess up the word a bit and you get «Eh-Stee». - Criss = Chris Def : It's simply derived from «Christ». - Ciboire = See-Bwar This is the ciborium in english. It is a receptacle made for holding the sacramental brad. And the beauty of it all is that they can all be compounded together in the most satisfying release of frustration you can utter : Eh-Stee de Kaw-Lease de Ta-Bar-Knack de Chris de See-Bwar ! As always, love the show and you guys rock. Big love from Montréal! - Fred

Was sort of thinking non-procedurally generated, but this is a good one! Starfield too

resnet

Hey MinnMax! maybe a bit of a Thirst Council revival but have you ever as a kid - or otherwise - been obsessed with a video game romantic interest? I'm talking the level of hanging their poster in your room, talking "to" them in your imagination, hugging their plushie to sleep at night, etc.

GBC

If you were transformed into an anthropomorphic food (a la Veggie Tales or Sausage Party) what food would you be and why?

BEEFCAKE

Hey, Haley, How often do people start singing that POD song whenever they hear your name?

moongarbage

Which developer could design the most interesting olympics opening ceremony?

LlorchDurden

The IOC confirmed they'll make the Esports Olympics... Which game would you choose to proudly represent your country and bring the gold medal back home?

LlorchDurden

NMS?

Limp Bizquick

Who on the cast could jump the highest

Phelix Diaz

Do you enjoy the anticipation of unlocking new abilities for whatever buttons are still unassigned on your controller? I think it's something that becomes a distant memory after we are mid-game in most games but that little moment in the tutorial deserves appreciation.

Bon Jon Bovi

What, for your money, is the biggest flat environment in an open world game? I've been replaying Star Wars Galaxies and honestly kind of love that you sometimes need to travel for over 10 minutes in a single direction to reach a dungeon. Has anything replicated this feeling since?

Travis in Fargo

How often, and in what situations, do you find yourself freestyle rhyming?

SnowmanXIV

Hi MinnMax. What's the most backhanded compliment you've ever received? My freshman year of college, I was in a group project with randomly assigned group members, and to make a long story short, we weren't a very effective group. At the end of the project we had to evaluate each other's contributions and one of them wrote that I'm a very fast typer. It's a true statement but not one that really represented all of my contributions to the project. Have any of you gotten "compliments" like this?

KiwiTheGoo

Hey Ben and the CLCs, I am a 30-something working in local government and of the 50 people I work closely with every day, only 3, including myself are under 40. Where are younger workers and what can I do to entice them to join a municipal office environment? Benefits are great, pay is good, where are my fellow 30 somethings? Thanks!

Kevin Kuper

Do you ever think that video games will have a movie franchise as big as the MCU? If so what series do you think it would be?

Crayter

What's the best and worst app icons on your phone?

Owen S

How often do you all write? Anyone have a secret writing routine? If so are you dabbling in fiction or is it mostly for work?

tothemax

You get to make a rhythm game ala Theaterrhythm for any series. Which one are you choosing?

Catpurrnicus

If someone from 200 years ago was transported into the present I feel they would not understand so many things; planes, cars, TVs, phones, and computers would blow their minds. Do you think if we were transported 200 years into the future the same could be said with us? Or with all the science fiction we have would you just think, cool, we figured out teleporters, food replicators, and space travel.

Vilis

The wedding in Monty Python and The Holy Grail. You receive the message on the arrow and have to function on those vague instructions.

Vilis

I'm excited to learn what sort of wacky narrative structuring system Dragon Age Veilguard is gonna serve up to let people set their choices from the previous 3 games... but I'd be equally intrigued for them to choose some canonical choices and say "Heeeere ya go!" Are any of the cohorts passionate about those kind of systems now that we're about 10 years out from the high point of them?

Mattmini2008

Hey all! So for time some car manufactures let you play video games inside their cars. The new MINI Cooper lets you play video games on their new screen inside their vehicle. Where is the strangest place where you have played a video at? Is playing some random kart racer while waiting on your Taco Bell order in their parking lot after watching the movie Twisters on a Saturday night cool or lame!thanks!

Tess

Hello all! Do you have any favorite games or performances heavily inspired by traditional theater/musicals? Playing 1000xRESIST makes it feel obvious that games would take inspiration from theater from the way environments are staged to how the performances are delivered. I don't think many games are, as it seems like many are inspired by other sources like prestige TV.

CptCobblePot

Greetings Minnmaxers, What’s your wine and dine game to get a not-such-a-gamer-but-interested friend into video games? Showed my friend The Last of Us and the capcom beat em bundle. He’s in on both now! You have a go to?

thejjuan1

Hello minnmax. So Ben, you had skill up at game’s trivia. Lucy at the main podcast. Jake when? I think deepest dive on metal gear solid delta, might be a good fit. Love the friend per sec podcast crew.

Tokyo Game Life

What’s your dream Hitman level?

Felix davin

Hey les copinous. Do you prefer driving in real life or in games, and have you ever driven in real life like you would do in a video game ? Have a nice *arcade GTI Club hand brake skid* day les amis :)

Dusty Beaman

Best: play has no limits; worst: do not underestimate the power of playstation

Dusty Beaman

1. Mello Yello; 2. Flavored Mello Yello; 3. A&W fountain root beer; 4. Code Red mtn dew; 5. Everything else

Dusty Beaman

4 seems really good to me. 3 is ok but just seems like 1 too short. 5 is too much to manage

Dusty Beaman

2 leg holes = 1 pair of underwear?

Ben64

Hey CLCs, Haley, and Lucy! Some of us were lucky enough to play games like Kahoot and The Oregon Trail during class as part of the curriculum in school. My question is if you could pick any game to include in a classroom curriculum, what game would it be and what class would you include it in? A narrative driven game in high school English class, an easy-to-learn multiplayer game for rainy day elementary school recess, or something else entirely? All the best!

Dusty Beaman

Lightning McQueen, Bowser, Speed Racer, Sonic

Bryce Blackmore

What Olympic sport do you think you have the best chance of scoring a single point if you were called up to compete?

Johnnyboi

What is the Song of the Summer? Chappell? Expresso? Kendrick? Brat?

Abe

Also did u know: the Warframe community manager became the creative director for the game ! She went from intern to director which is pretty wild! Watch out Ben, Haley might usurp you.

Pablo Castillo

What's your favorite "non- you" game? Like, usually you would never play this type of game but for whatever reason, you really enjoy "x" game? (Full disclosure: This question was inspired by a similar question on Janet's b new podcast, Games and Not Games)

Reed

Hi CLCs, It was great to see Ben whippin' shitties as a scoundrel with Leo. It might be the only game to do that in the galaxy? Is Outlaws the most Minnesota Star Wars game? Do you associate any others with a state?

Sincerly, Eric

Quick question. How is everyone doing? I mean, honestly, how are you all? Everything going okay?

Michael Griffin

Hello MinnMax Has hearing a song in a movie, show, or trailer ever tainted your perception of it? I can't think of the song "Under Pressure" the same after it's use at the end of the movie Aftersun.

Kenjamin

When it's too hot and you take off your jacket/hoodie, where do you put it? Backpack? Hold it to your side? Tie it around your waist? Or toss it over your shoulder like a real cool guy

Robert Sullivan

Hey minnmax, if you could be any animal or species from any video game instead of being a human what or who would you be.

M.I. Nuts

Hi crew, Do you have any memorable moments when a button prompt or game UI has factored into a joke or otherwise made you laugh? Portal 2's {press [SPACE] to say "apple"}, which is actually just the jump button, and Titanfall 2's {press [X] to time travel} made me blurt laugh. And of course there's the internet favourite {press [F] to pay respects}! Which ones stand out for y'all?

Cath

Hi! Which video game character would win gold medal at these Olympics sport: Fencing Triathlon Skateboard Synchronized swimming Diving 400 swim relay Horse Surf Mountain bike Tennis

The Beard Knight

I feel like it’s been a while since anyone mentioned table-top/board games. Any good ones you’ve been playing recently? Also, how do you feel about digital version of board games? My partner and I recently got Ticket to Ride on PS5 and have been having a blast.

Mars Barrow

Hi, CLCs! With the PS5 Pro most likely appearing in stores later this year, what is your take on Sony upgrading their hardware lineup now? Is it the right time, or does it feel too soon with how this generation has gone so far? Are any of you looking forward to upgrading your PS5 consoles or are you still happy with the way the current games look and feel? Also, do you think the Pro could launch at the $499 price point, bumping the standard system down a notch in price? Thank you! Mars

SenttheProphet

For the Olympics, Peacock is offering an “Al Michaels, A.I generated recap of the day” based on your top 3 sports If your voice could become an AI generated review of games, and discussion - would you be “okay” with it? If in 2050 I want to listen to a deep dive of Fallout 6, and MinnMax is no longer allowed - it would be quite the experience to hear an AI deep dive like “old times” Simplified version:, the Olympics is doing it for recaps , how do you feel about AI voice use of game reviewers in the future?

Ari Torbin

Congrats on having Minnmax as the largest pull quote on the Double Fine PsychOdyssey Limited Edition Blu-ray Collector's Set! What other times have you had a pull quote printed in a magazine, book, video game box, or promotional advertisement?

Graham Walker

The return of De Boom is a time for celebrating. Tell me your best party/ festivity anecdotes.

DarthBane79

2 weeks ago Sarah came into the show in the middle of the podcast, and Hanson announced her as a Rattata coming out of the grass or something like that. I honestly thought Sarah was gonna rip Ben to shreds! And was surprised when she didn't say anything.. My question is, what is it that Ben eventually does to make Sarah end him for good? And how will she go about it? Love the show! Keep being awesome!!

Rikimaru

Hey MinnMax! Owlboy has been on my wishlist since 2016. That's 8 years! Why haven't I bought it yet? On taking stock of your wishlists; what is the longest a game has been on your wishlist? Do you “clean out” your wish lists or prioritize them? Thanks!

Joey Smith

I disagree

LostJohnny2843

Hello. I`ve noticed on Friends Per Second that Lucy always has some good recommendations for literature and such. I would like to hear her top five books? The same for the rest of the panel. Thanks

Muffyn Crumbs

Hey all, what's a game that older gamers would have an advantage over the youths? Not in a retro game sense but in a having more knowledge/experience sense

tuxpeng

What's the best seemingly little thing someone can do to make their life better in some way?

Poofydoo

Sounds like Nintendo will sell physical media. But for Sony and Microsoft’s next console, how confident are you that it will be digital only? Now with Redbox done, the optical drive of my PS5 is less necessary. I think my PS5 is my last physical movie player.

Dennis Cortes

What’s the most interesting take on romance you’ve seen in a game? Something that was maybe unexpected, weird, mismatched, stayed with you/memorable, etc?

Dennis Cortes

What’s a “mini-game” or small mechanic from a game that you wish was an entire game itself? Venba’s cooking is a recent one for me, I’d take a Cooking Mama style game of a bunch of those cooking sessions personally!

Mike Lynch

Which generation of games hold up better? The 80's platformers or the 90's polygonal games? Which hold your interest longer when you go back to them?

wittynicknamehere .

Are any of the cohorts playing Nobody Wants To Die? It has an astonishing look to it, and has gotten the small amount of reviews which tells me that it has real "hidden gem" potential.

Poofydoo

Joey Smith

Is it videogame (one word) or video game (two words)?

RabidLime

LADS! THANKS GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE! what's your gaming kryptonite? for me, animation. if a game has well-keyed or snappy animation, i have a hard time not liking it even if the gameplay sucks. ex: River City Girls, Sundered, Guilty Gear Strive, Katana Zero, Hollow Knight

Travis in Fargo

Which video game series has had the most precipitous decline in quality with each subsequent entry?

Justin Toledo

Hey MinnMax, Haley, and Lucy! Quick note that I love the Jeff Jeff’s Bizarre Adventure podcast so thank you Lucy and everyone on that for the amazing content. Question for Lucy and anyone else familiar with JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure on the podcast. What would you pick as your own Stand power to make your life more convenient?

Troy Ellison

Have you ever "macgyvered" anything? This past weekend my girlfriend and I were cleaning our shower and we're having difficulty cleaning out small crevices near the floor board. My girlfriend came in to save the day, however and took a small motorized water gun with a short water supply and "macgyvered" it to a a small hydro pack to make a mini power washer! It sped up the process immensely and was really satisfying to use. Have you ever had to make an invention on the fly like this to solve a task?

Abe

* Hi, MinnMax! I’ve been getting into Warframe recently and although it’s a big MMO with a lot of content and mechanics, it’s been encouraging to see how much good will the devs have with the community and how passionate said community is. My question is what are some of the best and/or most passionate MMO communities/games with good community management that actually make it worth getting into?

Christian Jimenez

Hello, Last week streamer, MissMikkaa, beat the final DLC Elden Ring boss simultaneously with both her hands (controller) and feet (DDR dancepad)! Is this the greatest gaming feat (feet, insert pun intended joke here) ever?! It took her 4 days, 239 attempts (14 hours). I repeat, one of the hardest bosses even by FromSoftware standards x 2, at the same time! How do you top this? Thanks.

Drake Heinhorst

Hey Crew, Do any of you have collections that have slowly built up without realizing? I like to collect nice Marvel Action figures from the company Hot Toys. I would put down a preorder every now and then when it was a character I liked. This week I realized I now have over $10,000 worth of figures. Anything like that for you guys?

Spencer

What is your Sisyphean gaming burden? Something you are compelled to keep trying but seem cursed to never succeed?

Derek

Which of these slogans from PlayStation’s history is the best? Which is the worst? - Play has no limits - This is 4 the Players - Greatness Awaits - Play B3yond - Live in your world, play in ours - Do not underestimate the power of PlayStation

Meatball

Hi gang, First time writing in. Recently decided to support on Patreon. Thanks for all the entertainment you provide! Can we get an official 2024 MinnMax Soda Pop ranking? 1. Mountain Dew 2. Dr. Pepper 3. Root beer 4. Coca-Cola 5. Pepsi 6. Sprite 7. Fanta 8. Cream Soda 9. Ginger Ale

PhillyYeetSteak

Hey all! Are there any game developers (group or individual) that you feel especially proud of, without knowing personally? I've loved seeing Sam Lake turn into a celebrity after all these years, myself.

Alexi

What’s up Minnmax? I’m catching up to the podcast, fell behind a little, and listened to an episode from early July. In this episode Haley talks about her finally playing outerwilds and how she has somehow managed to stay spoiler free all these years. This is impressive and it had me thinking. You all are exposed to video games more than most I would think, and are more likely to have something spoiled because of that. Has there ever been something spoiled for you that legitimately upset you? Not like just mildly annoyed, but genuinely mad or pissed. Mine would have to be *spoiler warning* for the Last of Us II. Joels death in the last of us II. A coworker asked me what I thought about their death, only FEW DAYS after the game came out! I didn’t even have time to pick up the freaking game! I was so mad I had to excuse myself from the room and didnt speak with that person for a while.

Graham Gilmore

Question for Lucy: why do small English towns such as those seen in “Untitled Goose Game” and “Thank Goodness You’re Here” make for great settings for comedy games? Follow up question: if they make a sequel to either of those games, would the developers be able to change the setting to something like a small Minnesotan town and still make it work? Thank you! Graham

Nubbyy

Hi Ben and Crew! This week I have a game for you: How well do you know yourself - from 13 years ago? The February 2011 issue of Game Informer includes each GI editor's personal top 10 list from the year 2010. How closely can you guess your personal top 10 from that year? Can you guess your top game of the year? Top 3? All 10? Good Luck! You are allowed to search the internet to confirm which year a game was released / look up a list of games that released in 2010. Answers: Hanson's top 10 https://imgur.com/a/tBxiIPm Jeffm's top 10 https://imgur.com/a/ZuvdQxZ Dan Ryckert's top 10 https://imgur.com/a/RdrJfaj Jeff Cork's top 10 https://imgur.com/a/1p9c0Ci Bonus - guess the cover of the Feb 2011 issue https://imgur.com/a/B3m9hO3

Do you have a favorite bag or backpack? I've had this great Ogio duffle bag for like 15 years and it's still going strong.

Jeeo Banogy

Hey Minnmaxers and Special Guests! Anyone a little bummed that Veilguard will only have a party size of 3? Personally I'll miss that 3rd party member while I'm out adventuring, but do you think you'll like the simpler party setup? Do you have an ideal party size when it comes to these types of rpg's? Thanks!

Sean

What is the right pace to introduce rpg party members?

Jason Wojnar

What's the most embarrassing thing that happened to you on a date and that's appropriate to talk about on a podcast? On two first dates where we went dancing I ripped my pants right down the middle. One time I was able to hide it but the time where the rip was so big I had to ask my date if we could tie her sweater around my waste (it was early September but warm outside) was actually the one that ended up being a long term relationship that lasted more than two years.

The Nute

The old BioWare games were known for having some of the best stories in games ever. That said it’s harder to think of super memorable monologues from games. Do you have any favorite character speeches or monologues? I’m basic so the Andrew Ryan (Bioshock) speech would be mine.

Jared Piers

Hey Minnmaxies, this question is mostly for Leo. Why do you think every online game you like ends up dying? At this point, it definitely isn't a coincidence that this keeps happening so what about your taste in games makes you like these games that other people don't? Thanks.

Tan

Is 4-player multiplayer/co-op the norm because the N64 had 4 controller ports? Can it all be traced back to that?

SlyCut

Hello all, Please do the world a favor and rank these words by how much they represent from the least to the greatest. Context sentence: I have (a) blank (of) video games. Lot Some Many Couple Several Few Ton Bunch

notweirder

What’s something in your work setup that’s not a necessity but makes everything just *that* much better? Maybe it’s a handy bit of tech, a nice piece of art or just a good luck charm

Daniel Doran

Hey folks, what's your car air freshener philosophy? I recently got one of those little trees you hang on the rearview mirror...but apparently the instructions tell you to leave the plastic wrap on and poke a hole in the top and gradually slide the plastic down the tree in order to control the release of the scent into the vehicle. I'm pretty sure no one on planet earth uses those little tree fresheners that way. I did it that way for for two weeks, but then the tree and the plastic get more and more obnoxious as your sliding it down the tree. Any tips or alternatives?

Stevelution

I am personally devastated that Banjo Kazooie looks to be dead in the water 😭

Thom Blackburn

What game most deserves an added "goosin around" button from untitled goose game?

Bob Buel

If you were a contestant on your favorite reality show, and you were voted off on episode 1, would you keep watching the show?

RynaGoGo

Hello Ben and the Pair, What’s up with underwear? You can have 2 shoes and have a pair of shoes. Two socks make a pair of socks. But one underwear and you have a pair of underwear. Am I nuts!?

Stevelution

Just enjoyed a really chilled day off. Got a fresh haircut, read some of a new book in the sun with a beer, got some great pizza and went to the cinema. What does your ideal day off, with no work or family commitments, look like?

Victor Pham

What are your thoughts on suburban lawn culture aka do you keep your lawn immaculate?

Chandler

Imagine you could send one record back in time 100 years. Do you think it would reshape music history or would they all hate it and ignore it? Would you do it?

Spencer Jenson

Hey minnmax, what game do you remember it's color? Like gears of war is a red game or uncharted is definitely a sandy brown or tan game.

Aging_Poorly

Hi all, is there a good/effective way to support the video game actors’ strike?

iambecomeseth

As I've been playing through 1000xRESIST it has struck me that part of what makes it special is that it's developers largely entered the gaming world from the field of performing arts, bringing unique perspectives and skills. What adjacent or far-flung disciplines would y'all like to see have an influence on game development? Alternatively, what are some other examples of people bringing in fresh ideas from outside the industry to spice up the gaming landscape?

AlwaysBeClothing

A question from Lucy James' SDCC Dragon Age panel: Minnmax thirst council, which Dragon Age companion is your favorite/would you choose to romance?

Nathan Byer

Man, seeing World of Goo 2 on the list brought back some real nostalgia. The original World of Goo and the first Plants vs. Zombies hold this weird, transitional importance to me - they released right around the start of college for me, and always make me feel nostalgic. Are there similar sorts of games that you associate with major life events or transitions?

Andrew Lyman

What comedy movie was the one of your parents generation? Also, have you seen a newish comedy movie/media that made you go “this just ain’t it for me.”

JD Silva

Heyo! What’s a genre of game that you’ve always wanted to get in to, but for whatever reason can only appreciate from afar? CRPGs, Point-and-Click Adventure games, etc. For me it’s fighting games, and this years EVO has me attempting to learn Street Fighter 6. It’s just Ken and I against the world, and it feels like I’m learning an instrument.

Julie Miner

Hey Minnmax! Last week, Nintendo released gachapon capsules containing buttons and joystick modules for their controllers. What capsule machine would you be most likely to spend all your money on, if it existed?

whitemex

Hi Ben and the 'horts! Do the drivers of the show have any odd habits when driving? For instance I like to try and sync my blinker to other cars around me and will constantly turn them on/off until I get close

Clemens Schwarz

Hi Ben and the MinnMaxers! I've got a "VIP (gold)" ticket to the Opening Night Live (ONL) this year in Cologne, because the game my team and I worked on will be announced in that very show. I've never been to one of those events, especially none from Geoff Keighley. What should I expect? What should I do and don't do? Should I approach people I know from the internet and say "hi"? And most importantly: what should I wear? P.S.: I'm so excited to soon be joining the dads and husbands of MinnMax (wedding in October, baby in December) and you know I enjoyed "Baby Talk" with JeffM and Ben a lot. Thanks to both of you. :)

ProcyonNumber6

Hey Benn and Friennds, What's your go-to fantasy race?

Kenjamin

What was the first game you remember being noticeably bad? I feel like I and a lot of people played a lot of crap before developing critical thinking. For me, it was Crazy Frog Racer for PS2. I paid three dollars for it at a gas station when I was 10, and still felt ripped off. Also, do you miss the days of being less picky and just playing whatever? Thanks and love the show!

Sam Kennedy

If you had your own Olympic event which you were the champion of, what would it be?

Zae

Hey Minnmax, Lucy James mentioned a show called taskmaster a few years back on a podcast. It’s phenomenal and my wife and I love it, Alex Horne is to be protected at all costs. If you had to create a task, what would your task be? And what would your prize task prompt be? Thank you for all you do and more Lucy James on Minnmax content please. Ben pay out the big bucks

Bayleaf Moon

How do you feel about video game series ending? Banjo Kazooie, Ori and Metal Gear Solid are all franchises that have a finality feel to them which I am happy with, what are your thoughts?

Seabass

So I recently had a possum stuck in one of my trash barrels. Having lived in cities my whole life, I had no idea how to deal with this. I ended up knocking the barrel over, throwing some rotisserie chicken on the ground, and bolting. It did the trick! Got any good “dealing with a wild animal” stories?

Sekiro505

Hellooo In recent years I have begun to really really enjoy Roguelite and Rogue likes My appreciation for these types of games has grown so much. Especially if done right. I recently bought SIFU and I am loving it for it. You literally get better and also upgrade your stats. When once a level seemed difficult is now much easier because you've grown as a player in that level. My question is what genre has made appreciate it more after you've actually dived into it and see things differently.

Ray Sweat

Can each one of you do your best impersonation of someone in the pod today?

Travis in Fargo

How’s your summer reading going?

Patrick G

Can we get a weekly check in on the couch Jeff M is making and what will he make next, a TV?

Joshua Ayers

The next president issues an executive order that all existing game IP be frozen for the next console generation. Developers come to you for your media literacy, needing help to pick non-game IP to make into games. What never-before-seen-in-gaming IP do you suggest they use?

TheMightyEthan

Hey y'all, what's the worst game you've ever played all the way through to the end? Bonus points for an answer that isn't of the "I was a kid and it was the only game I had" variety.

Xavier Perez

Hey crew, I was recently playing 1000xResist and there was a really impactful use of FMV that came out of nowhere and really enhanced the experience of playing the game for me. I can’t remember many games that use FMV in such a way so I wanted to see if you all had a favorite use of FMV in a non-FMV game (aka other than a Sam Barlow game) in the past couple years. Love the show!

Tanner Hoisington

Since they are probably going to do something, is there any gimmick you are hoping Nintendo will add to the Switch 2? It's dumb but I thought of one this week: It should have two card readers so I can always have two physical games ready to go. Especially if the new carts are going to be a different format. I've got at least 40 Switch carts so it would be appreciated!

Treethan

Why is Plaion publishing the new Marvel game from Skydance? Why would a deal like that even happen these days? Can’t Skydance just release it itself?

Matt Sheldon

G'day MinnMax Crew! This October a few friends and I will be hosting a workshop at a local Horrorfest about what makes Horror in gaming different from other mediums. What would you hope to see at a workshop like this? What would you want talk about? What game demos would you use to illustrate this difference? Would love to hear your ideas! Keep on keepin' on -Matt Sheldon, Erie, PA

Neal McMahon

Does anyone do anything before they use the bathroom in the morning? I tend to wake up, take a sip of water, go downstairs, get a coffee prepped first so I can enjoy it right after I go for the first time. What is your morning routine?

Sgt Peppa

What was your favorite episode of Mythbusters?

John K

Hideo Kojima needs your help with Death Stranding 2! He has run out of ideas for celebrities to scan, who do you want to see make a cameo? They also need a new product placement consumable item, what product will help reunite America?

Michael Berry

It was neat seeing an older game like Volfied getting some love and attention. Volfied reminded of an underappreciated PSP game called Patchwork Heroes. It is an adorable Qix-like game made by Playstation C.A.M.P. I would love to see this return on modern platforms. Which PSP game do you hope returns on modern consoles?

Orryn Echols

What’s harder, getting your friends to watch a single season of a show you like, or getting your friends to check out a game you like? I’ve been trying to get my friends to watch Succession and, play any Metal Gear title for over 5 years. Don’t know which will happen first.

Lamb Dance

Vaguely tieing into Marvel's Dr Doom announcement: What Video Game hero would you like to see reimagined as a Villain?

Bloody Waffle

Thinking about world of goo and back when digital games were a novelty, what was the first digital game that you bought? Wii,PS3 or 360?

Andrew Burnes

Approximately how long after it was announced did it take you to start the new episode of PsychOdyssey and, most importantly, what did you think of it? The MinnMax interview with Tim Schafer was discussed!

Eli Medina

yo Would you rather it all be a simulation or it all be a dream?

Jesse Eberenz

Lucy! Congrats on the Star Players series! What is something out of all your interviews so far that has surprised you most? Bonus question: what star would you love to have on the show?
