What are some of your favourite games that critically, you would give an average rating to and wouldn't recommend to most people, but in your heart are special gems? Nothing beats the joy of a 7/10 game sometimes. The Saboteur jumps to mind for me.

Since New Pokemon Snap got announced shortly after your show Photomode Snap, can you now please rename the show TimeSplitters Snap or Max Payne Snap? While we're on the topic of Max Payne, why don't you think Rockstar ever remasters games? GTA IV especially would sell gangbusters on PS4 or PS5, and Max Payne 3 would benefit so much from a current or next-gen upgrade, but unless its GTA V they don't seem interested in upgrading old games.

Howdy all, From the guy who brought you "what stale food is best?" (Graham Crackers) comes the next big question: What is the best soggy cereal? My money is on Frosted Mini Wheats, they embiggen from milk and still have the crunch from the frosting. Thanks!

Hello everyone! What is a game (or games) that have helped you stay in touch with friends or family that you might’ve lost contact with? I have friends from high school that I probably wouldn’t have kept in touch with if it weren’t for games like PUBG and Apex.

Hey, Folks, I ended up replaying The Last of Us after finishing the sequel, and a question popped into my head at the climax. Was this sequel always planned given that you have no player agency regarding the first doctor? I mean, you have the option to spare the remaining two doctors. But for the game to progress, you have to perform that quick time action with the first doctor. Just a random thought, because when I first played The Last of Us, I always found this choice weird. But with how the sequel unfurls, maybe that choice in the first game actually had a meaning? Eh, just a thought. Hazal Mohammed

Hi team! Do you have games you wouldn't recommend at full price, but would wholeheartedly recommend picking up on sale? Much love.

Hey MinnMax crew! One simple question for you all this week: what game has the best skybox?

Hi all, after listening to minnfaqs I am wondering do you need to tell all your guests not to fart or curse or is that just for Dan? Is Suriel a notorious farter after all those minnsnacks? Is there anything you have heard in post that amazed you after reviewing the podcast? Thanks

Hello Maxxers and Nemesis! Wishing you all the best, and it is wonderful to see a new permanent addition with PokaChee Ana. Anyone here have a strong interest or hobby they try to keep up not revolving around gaming? I'm keeping it general here to include table top gaming. For instance, I try to keep music in my life since I've played instruments since I was a wee lad. I'm continuously trying to be better with playing guitar. - Geoff aka Groffles

Hi guys, just a follow up to a question a few weeks ago about Apple Arcade's success. I don't know how well it's doing from a commercial point of view but as a consumer, for me, it's one of the best deals in gaming. I've played so many excellent games on it like What the Golf? and Sayonara Wild Hearts and great titles are still being released on an almost weekly basis like Little Orpheus from The Chinese Room and Winding Worlds from KO-OP Mode as two recent examples. I'm loving the service!

Hello Cohort of Computer Lovers, My question for you guys is: what is the furthest you have taken or gotten away with with a lie? In my case it was at E3 2017 at Microsoft's press conference. We didn't have a badge for it, but we knew, from previous years, we could wait on the badge pick-up area on the side entrance of the Galen Center that they eventually let people in once show starts and there are seats empty. In 17 however, me - dressed up in a nice blazer to record footage - and my friend who was working the camera heard rumblings they wouldn't let anyone in and the crowd waiting was much bigger than previous years. That's when I saw two PR ladies opening a path for suited-up executives. I looked at my friend, he nodded and we simply attached ourselves to the end of the line, being guided to a backstage pathway, hi-fiving other devs and execs along the way for "our" upcoming announcement of Scorpio. When we found a moment to detach from the crew and go find a seat, the PR person spotted us and insisted we went with her through some curtains and up an elevator. Even when we tried to "go to the bathroom" she waited for us at the bathroom door. We ended-up on the Crackdown 3's dev room, a suite with food and drinks looking down into the crowd only realizing where we were when we heard the others in the room asking "wether it was a giant LCD screen or a projection and if they had optimized the colors of the trailer for it" to someone else. With fear of finding us out, we left the room just to run into a security guard, to whom we came up with a BS excuse of being lost. He called the head of security who was way nicer to us than I'd have expected and simply escorted us back to the waiting press area. Eventually they did let us in, like in previous years, but that short saga makes for one of my best E3 stories

Hey Ben boo and the nutter butter babies, I would just like to say, I agree with Jeff. Days Gone is really good. I played it on and off for over a year. The story and world and characters change so much over time that it felt like seasons to a television show every time I would stop and then jump back in. I think the acting performance from the main character is extremely underrated. I like that game a lot.
