The MinnMax Show - Arc Raiders, Mortal Kombat History, Ben's Paternity Leave

MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, Kelsey Lewin, Jeff Marchiafava, Jacob Geller, AND Haley MacLean gush about falling in love with the extraction genre thanks to Arc Raiders from Embark Studios. Then we talk about the ambitious recreation of Springfield from The Simpsons in Fortnite, the incredible history in the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, the free arcade-y chaos of Evil Egg, and Moon's RPG follow-up with Stray Children from Onion Games. Then we answer your wonderful questions submitted here on Patreon!

I'm happy for Ben's paternity leave but I have to admit I was sorta feeling the next few months of the podcast "wouldn't be the same." But the then the announced Kyle Boseman as the guest host. ...Ben feel free to take a few extra months off if you need. (But do come back eventually!)

Dan Childers

Hope you enjoy your paternity leave Ben! You’re in good hands because some of the funniest MinnMax content was made during your last paternity leave like “Reworking MinnMax from the Ground Up” and “Interpreting New Show Plus Ideas.” I’m so excited to see what will happen this time! Congrats on baby #2 and hope your wife has a swift recovery!
