Hello Janet! I was wondering, let’s say you are adventuring in a game and come upon a branching trail. They are identical in every way, but one leads to the left and the other to the right. Which way do you go first? P.S. Jak II fucking rocks Thanks, Sutton

Hello all, Will E3 ever return to its former glory?

Ben and Cohorts, With the release of Outriders and how it's being received so far, I wanted to talk a bit about the homogenization of online looter-shooters. I feel as though most of these games (Destiny, Anthem, The Division) are moving closer to looking and feeling like each other with every release, and even non-shooter games are replicating that gear-leveling style. At some point, I believe there will be some kind of large innovation that sets these types of huge online games on a new path. My question is, what do you think this will look like? And maybe more interestingly, what developer do you see accomplishing the big shift? Thanks guys!

Ben, I took your advice on the show and watched all of the Metal Gear Solid movies on youtube, spanning MGS1 through 5. I've never played the games but have been around videogames long enough to know the iconic moments, the twist in MGS2, the ending that made people mad about MGS5, etc. Overall, I have to say.. it was kinda boring and not great. The voice acting got better over time, but it felt like the dark early days of anime dubs. It was just a numbing stream of hidden agendas, back stabbings, and long monologues. My question is: do your or Suriel think that is a legitimate opinion of the story since I didn't actually play the game and therefore didn't have any agency? Do you think you lose something about a game's story if you don't actually do the gameplay and instead watch the story unfold passively?

Playing outriders is so much fun it’s definitely going in my top 5 this year along with monster hunter. I’m playing two different classes and have both of them at lvl 17. What classes are you playing as and do you think this will be one of your favorite games of the year?

Hey, MinnMax friendos! With society in full 90s nostalgia mode, what games did you love from the 90s that you'd love to see remastered (or even remade) for new systems like the PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Hey minn max crew! I am a nurse and as I was checking on a patient, they swung at me and I entered bullet time and avoided. It was what I call a "video game moment". In the past I've climbed silos in collapsed dams and had Nathan Drake like anxiety climbing rickety ladders and jumping sketchy gaps but this one took the cake for me. What are some of your video game moments? Close calls, big bails or Tony hawk fails I wanna hear em! Thanks for the content and making night shift a little less lonely My question thi

My dudes. Despite what any of my friends and family try to tell me, I’m convinced that my obsession with Monster Hunter Rise is not a problem, but rather, THE solution. However, several of my friends are not willing to hop on the Monster Hunter hype train. Obviously, everyone’s entitled to spend their free time doing whatever they like, or playing whatever games they want. But have any of you ever swayed some of your casual gamer friends (folks NOT involved in the industry in any way) to try a game they would have actively avoided otherwise? If so, how’d you do it? Keep on killin it, friends!

Welcome Janet and hello computer loving cohorts. A friend and I were talking and he asked if I could only have a single gaming platform what would it be. After thinking for a while I decided on the 3ds, there are so many games I love on it. Plus there's the virtual console libary and all the ds games that are playable on it. Not to mention you can play 7 generations of pokemon on it, low key my favorite series of games ever. Sadly the games I'd miss the most would be Super Mario RPG and Tetris Attack which strangely never got a vitural console release on it. So anyway my question is what would be your single gaming platform if you had to choose? And to make it interesting let's say you could still also have PC gaming as I think that would most of your preferred platform. Lol so excluding that, what would you choose?

Hey you lovely bunch, You love lists right!? I have a suggested game. Select three cultural objects made in the past decade that communicate the essence of a chosen city to someone who is unfamiliar with that place. It could be a film, book, album, a game. For example for LA suggestions could be Nightcrawler, GTAV, Section 80 by Kendrick Lamar. So I guess the cities could be randomly selected, ideally places cohorts have lived or at least stayed in for a bit so they can speak directly to their lived experience. Unlikely any city can be succinctly summarised with three things so maybe each thing attempts to represent or encapsulate a particular aspect of the ‘feel’ of a place? If you want to play with the parameters (five things rather than three, or twenty years rather than ten, broaden it out to state rather than city) be my guest! Ali, England
