Hey Cohorts! I’ve been doing a lot of thinking on “Love Languages” lately, basically the different ways people give and receive love. It had me thinking, what are some of your gaming love languages? Aspects/characteristics of a game that instantly will connect you with a game above others. For example one of mine is the soundtrack, if the game has a soundtrack I really like it will instantly connect with me more even if the gameplay is nothing to write home about. If that question was too confusing here’s another: Sarah top 5 horses in gaming go! Thanks love the show!

Hey Cohorts In honor of Dragon ball breakers announcement you each have to pick a character from the anime that best represent each one of you. Not your favorite character, but one who best fits your personality. Thanks for the great weekly content

Hey Everyone, with the big Xbox Anniversary this past Monday I was thinking about the good old original Xbox. There are a lot of good memories tied up in Halo parties. Do you remember how that Halo disc came with demos of other games? I think a good argument could be made that my friend group spent as much time playing that demo of Fusion Frenzy as we did actually playing Halo 1. I don’t think any of us actually ever bought the game though. Do you guys have any new thoughts on the original Xbox now that we are two decades from release?

Has someone ever convinced you to like a piece of art you didn't like by explaining why it was good?

Imagine, if you would, this scenario: You have been granted one (1) Gamer Wish™ to have the time to play one (1) title from your 2021 backlog you otherwise wouldn't have gotten to this year. What is that game and why?

The nominees for the Game Awards have been announced! Of course there are tons of categories to make up for this, but it felt like there were a few missed opportunities on the titular "Game of the Year" award this year. If you could add a nominee to the current list, what would it be? And, if you can legally tell us on the podcast, which of the original 6 are you gonna vote for? (Here are the current nominees, for your convenience) Deathloop It Takes Two Metroid Dread Psychonauts 2 Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Resident Evil Village

Hey MinnMax Crew! Can you come up with the craziest game concepts for a popular IP? "Dragon Ball: The Breakers" is insane to me, placing the Dragon Ball franchise in the mold of games like Dead By Daylight. How weird must it have been when Mario, the jump-man plumber, first raced go-karts in Mario kart?? Here's a few ideas I've come up with: (1) Spider-Man pizza delivery styled after Crazy Taxi; (2) Yogi Bear the Picnic Basket Thief, a stealth action game where you play as Yogi tasked with stealing lunches from innocent hikers; (3) Star Wars dancing game (oh wait...). Any crazy idea y'all can come up with?

Since the games inception in the early 1940’s, has there ever been a day, I’m talking one single day, without someone getting a Yahtzee?? Got into this discussion with friends recently and they insisted days have gone by without a Yahtzee. For reference, studies show there is nearly a 50% chance of getting a Yahtzee in any single game, and there are like 7 billion people on earth. We were counting knock off versions of the game as well. So, has a day without a Yahtzee (what a terrible world to live in) gone by or not? Thanks guys!!

Hi MinnMax! Which Main character in a game, if they became sentient, would hunt down the developers that made them?

Hey MinnMax, what game has the best final moments - not the whole ending, the literal final seconds before credits hit (inspired by The Order 1886)

Hey Ben and crew! I just wanted to thank you all for putting together Trivia Tower, one of the best things on the internet! Here's my question. If Trivia Tower was to be made into a Jackbox game, which trivia segments would you all like to see in there, and why?
