Howdy Ben and the cohorts. Congrats on 100 episodes! In honor of guest Javy Gwaltney, my question this week is: Who has the best hair in video games?

Since Riders Republic is being discussed this week, why has EA completely abandoned their EA Sports BIG titles? NBA Street, NFL Street, SSX, and Burnout (not BIG but whatever) were some of my favorite games back in the day and they've vanished. Is it more of a reflection on EA or on modern day gamers' interests?

Hello Double Ms What is your ideal length for a game?

Howdy 'horts, Congratulations on 100 episodes! Do you ever think about how Hanson's local paper effectively created your job title? "Computer Loving Cohort" Follow up, when will you accept that 'Hort is the best way to say it? Thanks!

What up CLCs! I recently started playing Hades, and holy cow! I think I've been sleeping on this entire roguelike genre...Are they all this good?! Anyway, can you think of any games that really opened your eyes to a genre that you weren't familiar with before?

Hello cohorts and javy! There has been some talk that Far Cry 6 is solid, but mostly more of the same. For you personally, is the act of shooting enemies with a gun enough for a game to be fun, or do you need more than that?

Hi Ben and the CLC's Seeing Ben's book on social media got me thinking of when I was in 6th grade, we had to write an essay about someone we admired. I wrote about Yuji Naka for his heavy involvement in the Sonic franchise and specifically Sonic Heroes which was releasing at the time. My question is, have you ever shamelessly incorporated gaming or nerd culture into your school work? If so, what was it and what grade did you get?

Hello cohorts! I've been playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla and have really enjoyed the 60 fps option available on Series X. Over the past year, it seems like all of the big releases have launched with at least the option to set the game at 60 fps. Do you all imagine this will hold true for the rest of this generation, or will there be a developer that bets on pretty visuals and only launches a game at 30 fps? If that happens, do you think there would be any sort of backlash? I can see Naughty Dog wanting to push the limits of visuals in a few years and try a game at 30 fps but I'm not sure 30 fps will be as acceptable at that point. Thoughts?

Does it bother you when games get more praise or attention than you feel they deserve? Especially if it is at the cost of another game you feel deserves the attention more?

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I’ve noticed that nobody is really talking about the latest Avengers update, War for Wakanda. I am still playing this game and the latest update is exciting. Black Panther really shows how cool the action can be and I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it. He is unique and crazy fun to play as. The new update has added a lot and set up the game to easily expand with new villains and missions. A lot of people have hate on the game since it came out, but think I am still into Avengers because the combat feels awesome and it is a always a blast playing with friends. I was wondering if any of you have tried Black Panther yet and what your general impressions of the game are one year after its release? Have any of you tried it on next gen? It feels and looks so much better than last gen. Thanks for always being podcast homies that get me through the work day!

Hey CLCs! I can't believe it's been 100 episodes! In honor of that, what's the most important lesson you've all learned since Minnmax started? And what was the biggest challenge Minnmax has had to overcome in its first 100 episodes?
