MinnMax's 5th Anniversary, Batman: Arkham Shadow, Fear The Spotlight - The MinnMax Show

Hearing y'all talk about MinnMax and the business behind the scenes, was incredibly inspiring. There are things that Ive wanted to do for at least 10 years but haven't due to self doubt and fear of failure. Thank you for these discussions.

In person Jeffm is such a treat. I missed his giggles lol. Is this the first time since 2020???

Gotta say, I do hope we get the other set up of the podcast as well. For some reason it works well with zoom plus we get Huber and Janet, Jacob and other guest.
Either way, congrats MinnMax!

happy to see that the new studio is not a fire hazard that you have to jump over furniture to get in and out

The brightening light has been haunting Ben for weeks now I feel like— why does this light keep brightening? Is it a poltergeist?

I'm so glad to hear about how people felt in the office post the big layoffs. I always assumed that's how it was, but it's so validating to hear it from your end as someone who submitted internship application after internship application just to get my foot in the door to work with people like Javy and Hanson. It was a huge blow.

Minnmax is such a breath of fresh air: Friendly and fun. Congrats for the 5 years.

The Penguin being a bad show us a wild take because it's been pretty unanimously praised.

I hear ya JeffM... Michelle Pfeiffer was and still is a total smokeshow.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Yessss

Thank you all for all you do! Here is to another 5 years!

I feel so lucky to be part of the MinnMax crew! It was my favorite gaming podcast before I joined, and it still is! (Minus the episodes I'm on)

Congrats on 5 years! And wow, it's awesome that they managed to get the best interviewer in games media as the host!

Congrats to everyone

lmao the link to Leo's GALOT is just a google search for his panicked inspirational quote

Next week you should cover Windblown, Tower Borne, and some other <Noun> <Verb that starts with B> early access game

Been a great 5 years. The thing I've loved the most about MinnMax is how so much of the content is friends hanging out having a good time.

the vibes are great. keep it up, folks.

How tall is Ben?

The best gaming podcast. Happy anniversary.

Congrats on 5 years, folks! Just here to tell you that you are all wrong about the greatest cartoon of all time and that it is Avatar: The Last Airbender. I will accept all of your apologies either verbally or in written format. Thank you, and congrats again!

Just want to emphasize that but you guys said about positivity; so much of gaming culture focuses on the negative, and there's just too much of that out in the world right now. This channel is consistently excited and passionate about gaming in a really healthy way

I've been a very casual, off and on listener of MixxMax since the beginning. I've liked you guys for a long time, but for whatever reason I've just never been fully seated. Today, this episode, for reasons I cannot describe, I realized I love Minnmax lol. You guys are awesome! I'm not sure why it took me so long to fully warm, maybe because I've been extremely attached to my gaming podcasts of yesteryear and it's hard to get over them. I still have a 1up Yours-shaped hole in my heart lol.

Anyways, I just wanted to thank you guys for what you do, and for taking that scary first step to try something new after GI. You guys are awesome.

edit: This comment came before you guys reached the anniversary portion of the show. I'm very glad I decided to listen to this episode now!

I swear I did not care about these CLC political opinions until just now. Now I want to know! What was the intense slack argument?!?! 😂

Shout out to the bell end who wrote in to call the one of the highest rated TV shows of 2024, “bad”. And then the MinNMax dudes are so out of the loop they don’t even comment on the absurdity of it. Get better, guys.

New studio is dope af

Some jeffm political coverage would actually go hard

An all star group here. Definitely my favorite crew, the old G.I. gang.

Also thanking ResetEra hahaha. Gotta be the only time that sentiment has ever been expressed. What a hellhole of a site.

Batman is the last chance for VR? What about Metro, Behemoth, and Hitman Trilogy? VR games probably won’t be mainstream or lucrative for companies until we get to the point where you just plug your brain into a game like Sword Art Online or Ready Player One

The new studio is looking amazing and the energy on in-person episodes is always so fun! Keep it up y'all!! Greetings from germany 🫶

Minnmax is fantastic love you all, Leo please don't even think about quiting

+1 for the Me Undies sponsor. I got a pair several years ago and have slowly replaced all of my boxers with them. Perfect underwear material IMO.

Please do not do the politics thing. I get enough of that everywhere else and it's for sure not why I'm here

Thank you, JeffM, for holding Ben accountable for "We the Peepo." He tried to skate by that way too quickly.

Anyone else super hyper for the annual 'things to be thankful for in gaming' episode?

Ben "The Boss" Hanson

Love the studio! I know I am just one insignificant voice of many but I would love if you started to do more in-studio podcasts. The pandemic destroyed our expectations around this but its been to the detriment of all media. The unnatural pause between statements, the varying audio quality, the glitches. Imagine if Stadia was your only way of gaming. Acceptable but tragic. Please, please, please let's move away from the pandemic standard.

MinnMax and Ben are awesome!

Really nice to see you guys all in the same room

Please, don't make a political branch or show, this podcast should be a form of escapism. Politics, faith/religion and football (the real football, not handegg) are all risque topics and people get really anal about them.

For best cartoon shows (not counting anime) I nominate:
Rocko's Modern Life
Earthworm Jim
The Tick
The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police

Lumping the penguin in with bad tv shows. Lol

5 years man, thanks! Everyone survived the pandemic, the layoffs..bless you

Leo talking about self-compassion really was encouraging. In our busy lifes, there's rarely time for positive self-talk and self-care. Thanks :) Topics like these were the reason I grew to like the channel.

Bonine non-drowsy anti-nausea pills taken before your VR session and having an active fan in the room blowing on you should help a ton with that pesky nausea!

Big “Doc” energy, LOLOLOL!!! That was hilarious!

Yes bringing Haley on, one of the greatest things about MInnMax is Haley, she is MaxGem!!!

Oh my god... WE THE PIPO!!!! 😂 IT WAS RIGHT THERE THE WHOLE TIME!!! I'm crying right now. I got to see Game Informer become it's logical next step! Not even joking...
I am so glad I was able to live to see this... I HARD wanted to be such a bigger part of this. Through my 20's and 30's. All that matters is you guys fuckin' did it! Thank you...❤

The new studio looks great! Feels like 2019 all over again! ❤❤❤
