every single year we remember this is the best thing MinnMax does. someone in chat at the end said "lived a whole life watching these" and that's perfectly put. real humans' real lives, jaw dropping horrors and achingly big laughs. true art.

the Pew Pew Bang crew's chemistry has only gotten better and better, they are just so comfortable and have so much fun talking to each other. no one's making them make those episodes so long, they just don't want them to end and you can feel it. proud of them for polishing off another great season!

new patreon vid! all the behind the scenes details and lessons i share so i'm more likely to remember them in the future. the type of nitty gritty stuff i love to get into. tidbits and reflections from year 5 + 6 www.patreon.com/posts/160623...

so much to dig into with this amazing game, couldn't be happier to be hosting 9+ hours of discussion on it. the Deepest Dive game club format is perfect for re-examining every level and explaining why its "linearity" is an illusion created by its polish. so proud of my precious Hitman devs.

Hitman developer IO's new 007 game just came out and trust me i am mastering it as fast as i possibly can. very fun Let's Play with Haley on the new Max Settings: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a40Q... #RTXOn #ad

On the latest Max Settings, Haley returns from a long trip to Japan to find Leo is already aggravatingly good at 007 First Light, the new game from the developers of Hitman. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a40Q... #RTXOn #ad

new vid!! had a blast making it, so many fun surprises from shooting something out in the real world. The Guide To People™ youtu.be/KbdkuvkukYA

i have always immediately closed every pop up from any website or application explaining new features without reading it because it's an unexpected intrusion on my sense of peace. this will continue for the rest of my life. stop writing those. i'll figure it out or i won't.

in two hours i can finally talk about my Game Of The Year: the three hours of 007 i played at a preview event last week. remains to be seen if the full game will top it

Enough is enough! President Trump MUST start wearing a bodycam!

@leovader.com shines in a one of a kind show called THE LEO//WIN SHOW! hosted by @kelslewin.bsky.social. They share some insight on why this is the number one podcast on the planet. youtu.be/Iwlx1mYjaVI

as the Intellectual Gamer i bring a sense of profundity to every Let's Play that MinnMax does. try NOT to be inspired by this conversation (as @kylehilliard.com and i play Pragmata on Max Settings #RTXOn #ad) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_umU...

Samson: A Tyndalston Story is like a little injured baby bird that @leovader.com just can't look away from. We talk about the ambitious open-world crime game from the creator of Just Cause and Mad Max on the new episode of The MinnMax Show! youtu.be/1hqvyRjUUpY

FUN DAY ON THE SOMETHING ROTTEN FEED I was joined by @plante.bsky.social and @leovader.com to talk about Resident Evil Requiem. A great game, probably? At least sometimes. Available everywhere now! open.spotify.com/episode/1FAO...

in a very pessimistic mindset (a pessy zone if you will) about games lately and Station to Station is the only thing keeping the faith. incredibly deep writing but breezy to read, light gameplay hooks but each serve a purpose & attach you to the story. every session's been absolutely brain-soothing.

got a hot tip from Jacob Geller on how to beat this "boss" and hey. it worked great. watch us play the opening of hours of Resident Evil Requiem with blood dialed up to most/prettiest over on MinnMax - www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bZO... #RTXOn #NvidiaPartner

what the hell did I just read

refusing to shut up about Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. only case where i will just routinely scroll new reviews and happily read people connecting with it. everything that crew does inspires me so much. u gotta have artists like them in your life. letterboxd.com/leovaderdotc...

Operation Metro Surge? More like Operation Metro Boomin with how this administration has gone Mask Off!

have said this a lot and will continue to say it regularly: doomscrolling creates hopelessness which creates helplessness, actually getting out there volunteering or just connecting with neighbors gives confidence and hope and purpose. it is really as simple as that.

i’m on here now and this game rocks!!!

Our charity stream with @giantbomb.bsky.social starts NOW! Help us raise money for VEAP and KICK ICE OUT!! www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow

There may come a day when the government can throw me in prison because they find out I have attended or plan to attend a protest, but that isn't the case right now and I'll be damned if I'm going to give them the satisfaction of acting like it is.

any fed watchlist is such a joke because this is the most aggressive of what we're organizing: whistling to alert others of ICE presence, and filming them doing their jobs. would be very easy to just ignore us if the reality of them doing their jobs was something that anyone on earth could stand by.

I will be IN PERSON in studio for this stream!!

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

this immediately and ironically made tears shoot of my eyes like bullets. means absolutely everything to see the world standing up for us.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

tyranny is execution followed by a press release

hey i know i'm not exactly going out of my comfort zone here but this Saturday the 24th i'm playing 12 hours of Hitman to fundraise for MIRAC, a group helping lead the fight against ICE in Minnesota. random (brown) people are being violently kidnapped without warrants every day. let's talk about it.

da three most beautiful words in da english language.....

if there's one thing i want to communicate from the situation in Minnesota to those who have been manipulated into supporting the violent kidnapping of illegal immigrants, it's that ICE is violently kidnapping citizens who did absolutely everything by the rules too. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

What's it like to have thousands of ICE agents in your city? We share stories from Minneapolis in this special public version of Bonus Pod. youtu.be/OY6ZPb2NHO8

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

How much did the MinnMax crew love Keep Driving? Should it make our list of the 2025's best games? Tune in to the new episode of The MinnMax Show for the kick-off to our big GOTY debates! youtu.be/5LSlLzgQGFs

compiled the outtakes from every video so far for a little bonus holiday treat for patrons! and nebula and youtube members. previously only available at the end of the nebula version of the vids but some never before seen stuff here too. hope you enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/146242...

🚨MinnMax is looking for a production assistant🚨 This is a paid, part-time, contract role for people experienced in editing video, Photoshop, social clips, etc. This is not going to be an on-camera role. Please send a resume and examples of your work to [email protected] Help sharing is appreciated!

recording the most fun/informative/aggressive piece of MinnMax content of the year tonight! Backstage Pass patrons watch it live 2+ weeks before it goes out to everyone. genuinely believe in it so much, great capper on the year. can promise some very surprising games fought for surprisingly hard.

an excellent cause that makes our Game Awards reaction stream tonight less cynical by default! you don't have to watch live to donate, check out that link anytime. a small way to tip the scales against this proudly racist administration.

one of my favorite traditions in my life. we all write jokes and mix them up in a big bowl to celebrate the year in gaming. it's supposed to be a mystery who wrote each joke, so in hindsight i could have been less obviously proud about the last one here.

this is fucking insane

Look at how the top five stats dominate. How do we build our way to Vision Zero when nearly all deaths and injury boil down to "driver thought they were in a hurry."
