  • There will never be a bigger episode of The MinnMax Show. On this special episode, Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Leo Vader, Jeff Marchiafava, Sarah Podzorski, Haley MacLean, and Janet Garcia unpack some love for the new farming sim game Fields of Mistria that Sarah has been working on as a marketing/social media manager. It's good, we swear! Then Leo Vader talks about jumping into the alpha for Splitgate 2 and we all shed some love for Cat Quest 3. After that, Leo talks about his wild trip to San Francisco to play with a full VR treadmill called the Virtuix Omni One. Then we get serious about podcasting and invite a gigantic crew of former Game Informer editors to answer community questions and reminisce about the magazine closing after 33 years. On that panel we have Adam Biessener, Andrew Reiner, Andy McNamara, Ben Reeves, Bryan Vore, Dan Tack, Dan Ryckert, Elise Favis, Ben Hanson, Javy Gwaltney, Jeff Marchiafava, Joe Juba, Kimberley Wallace, Leo Vader, Matt Helgeson, Matt Bertz, Nick Ahrens, Tim Turi, Jason Oestreicher, Wade Wojcik, and that's only a fraction of the folks who worked at Game Informer throughout the years! There are too many stories to go around, so thanks so much for bearing with all of us as we parade down memory lane. We also answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!

  • On this big episode, Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, and Kyle Hilliard are joined in the studio by MinnMax video editor and Game Informer associate editor Charles Harte to talk about an eventful week in the game industry. We touch on the official confirmation that the Switch 2 will be revealed before the end of Nintendo's calendar year before diving into the big news of the week: Microsoft making the brutal choice to shut down four of its game studios, including Arkane Austin (Dishonored, Prey, Redfall) and Tango Gameworks (Hi-Fi Rush, The Evil Within Series). We also talk about games we've been playing and enjoying like Hades 2 from Supergiant Games, Animal Well, Little Kitty Big City and our full thoughts on Funko Fusion (and its depiction of The Thing) and Batman: Arkham Shadow in VR. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
