Hi Ben, You've mentioned using the Steam Deck on your exercise bike. My question is: do you lift, bro? Because that's a hefty system and my hands get tired holding it while just sitting on the couch.

Hello minnmax crew. So I just finished The Blessing Show, on the topic of black hair in video games. Very good vid. But goes to the topic of any other character customization options you wish games can do better at? For me I wish height options were better in other games. Shoutout to ff14 you can be a lalafell ( the race smaller than your knees). They are short but you as the warrior of light, NPC must look down on you when in cutscenes and see what a badass you are.

Hello popcorn loving cohorts. With the Super Mario movie rapidly approaching. I thought I would do some research and look up the highest grossing video game movies. Here are the top 10. Can the crew guess them all? Also can we predict if the Mario movie will take number 1 spot and what it's box office total will be? 1. Warcraft. 439 million total 2. Dectective Pikachu 433 million 3. Rampage 428 million 4. Sonic The Hedgehog 2. 404 million 5. Uncharted. 401 million 6. Angry Birds. 352 million 7. Prince Of Persia 336 million 8. Sonic The Hedgehog 320 million 9. Resident Evil The final chapter 312 million 10. Resident Evil Afterlife. 300 million Bonus point if anyone has seen all 10 movies. I personally have only seen half of them.

Hello Cohorts! How would you market VR Games? As a non VR gamer myself it seems like the limitation of all games being inherentely in first person makes it hard to pull content for a trailer. All gameplay is first person and there are minimal cutscenes to draw from. When in a showcase with 5 back to back they just seem to bleed together a little bit. How would you improve this?

Hey crew, how do you maintain faith in democracy when Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside comes third in the game championship Twitter poll? Justice for Pajama Sam!

Hi MinnMax crew, in Skill-Up’s FF16 preview video they mentioned how Yoshi-P finds the term “JRPG” derogatory in reference to their games. This is due to the connotation the phrase has with anime tropes and the overall “unserious” tone consumers would approach games labeled “JRPGs” as opposed to standard RPGs. I don’t really have a question about this but would love to hear your thoughts on this topic as I found it quite interesting. Thanks!

I came onto a stream for the last 2 hours or so of Space for the Unbound and was blown away. Is it worth playing through if I know how it ends though? Is the whole game fun or am I playing it to reach the super intense/beautiful ending?

Back when Star Fox 64 came out, I got it home, started playing, and promptly beat the game in about 25 minutes or so. I was shocked and annoyed that this big game that I was super excited about was over and done with that quickly and I didn’t play it again for a long while. When I went back, I was shocked to learn that I had only beaten one of multiple difficulties and only seen about 1/3 of the levels (I know the map was there guys, I was an idiot!). Suddenly it had new life and I went on to play it relentlessly til I had medaled all the stages and done basically everything there was to do. Can you think of a time where you initially thought a game was shallow and lacking but ended up being much deeper than you realized at first glance?

Hey MinnMax Crew, what are some of the best video game themed pet names you've ever heard? Recently I got a good laugh out of Albert Whisker for a cat.

Matt Smith

Hi MinnMax, Recently I’ve been playing Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe and I am blown away by how good the Kirby model looks and animates. Since Kirby’s model is so simple visually, is there a possibility where it becomes impossible to iterate and improve upon Kirby’s design or visual detail?

Tokyo Game Life

Hey crew! Is there a game that all your friends have moved on from but you keep going back to? I keep dipping back into GTA online every few months, but my friends deleted it over a year ago.

Respec or No Respec in games? I enjoy the tension of committing to a long-term decision, makes it more personal and impactful. At the same my Divinity 2 playthrough could've been a torture without respec.
