Hi Ben and crew What completely random, possibly embarrassing videos do you end up watching a bunch of? Recently I started watching “pop-lock” style dance video competitions. After about 10-12 videos I’m starting to question my sanity. Thanks Rob from NY

Hello Benn and Friennds (two N's)! What game series do you want to see brought back from the dead that has absolutely no chance of ever being revived? I'd love to see the NFL tell Madden to screw off and allow 2k to bring their ESPN NFL 2k series back. 2k5 was such a pivotal multiplayer experience for me and has a ton of crazy features packed in that make modern sports games look shallow. You had a mansion to store your trophies and fun knickknacks like arcade machines. You could even get a phone call from Steve-O and play against his custom team. How cool is that??? Love you guys, keep up the fun content. P.s. Hanson is wrong about Pop-Tarts. Regards - Nick L

When I think back to my old consoles I have certain games that I LOVED, but are basically never talked about or thought about or considered “Classics”, despite getting great critical reviews etc. Here are what I have as my one example for various consoles – do you guys have similar examples? SNES - Shadowrun Gameboy (Color or standard) - Cannon Fodder N64 – Shadowman (would LOVE a remake on this) Gamecube – Eternal Darkness / Starfox Adventures Playstation 1– Parasite Eve 2

Whats up you CLCrs!? My question is have you ever submitted a question to a show/podcast and had it read on air? Was it the best part of your day? Mine was read on the GI show and me and my friend freaked out! (We had both been trying to get one read) anyway thanks keep up getting better!

Hello, Ben and the CLC's Like many people, I've used a simple note app on my phone for many years to jot down stuff when I need to make a list, have some ideas I want to follow up on, etc. I was clearing some of that stuff out and noticed I had some weird ones, presumably things I was writing but maybe got interrupted while writing, or maybe I was half asleep while writing it. For example, I have several notes that seem to be very bad jokes in a rough draft of a stand up routine (I am not a comedian), math equations (I think), and a note that says "carpal tunnel = caramel funnel." Any fun notes from days past that make you go, "What the heck?" Love you guys, keep up the great work! -Will in California

Hey Hen Benson and the NnimXam Crew (pause for reaction) Here’s the scenario: you’ve got an N64 with Mario Party 2, MarioKart 64, and Super Smash Bro’s and 4 technicolor controllers. What 3 games industry professionals (directors, studio heads, voice actors, etc.) do you invite for a good old-fashioned game night? Thanks for all you do! - TJ

What’s up MinnMax (2 Ns)? I’m curious about what the panel thinks the next big trend of gaming is coming with the new generation. For example, Live Service games were the dominant new “genre” for console games (though they were already popular on PC). What’s the panel’s predictions for next generation as the next big thing? Alternatively, what features would be on the panel’s wishlist? -LaRay M. Hare

Hello MinnMax crew! The season of new beginnings is nearly upon us! What's the most dystopian idea you've seen a gaming company introduce? (ideas include Sony's "shout out an advertiser's name to stop an ad" patent, any of Nintendo's "use your body x way" initiatives, and the ever-obvious "pay-to-win" model) Best regards, Jt

Heloo Miners! Have you ever played a game with unconventional controls? Watching kyle's metroid stream a few weeks back and seeing him play Chrono Trigger on his phone with the dualshock 4 reminded me of when I played all of Bioshock Infinite with the PlayStation Move. When it came out, i saw it was compatable, so i tried it out and realized it felt better than a standard controller. I also played inFamous 2 this way. Are there any times you've enjoyed a game in an unconventional way like mouse/keys or motion controls over a standard controller?

Ahoy almighty friends ! Now that there is a question of the week again, I'm putting my Question Of The Year title on the line for 2020. I plan to defend my belt, hopefully. Anyway, a simple one here : How long does it take from the moment you're home and thinking "I'd play a game for a bit, eh" and you actually playing the game, on the technical side ? For example, when i want to play on my PC, which is plugged to my bedroom tv, I have to crouch behind some furniture to turn a power switch on, wire the ethernet from an opposite wall to the pc, turn on the tv and computer, grab a controller in a drawer, grab a keyboard in the drawer to type my password, and finally I can play. That rounds up to around 2 minutes of fiddling around. How about you ?

I know you admire the EazyAllies guys but in the interest of making the show better....never, ever rap Ben Hanson! Maybe Jeff M.
