Everyone give this a good scroll. Isaiah worked really hard on rebuilding the site to modernize it: making it easier to edit and maintain over time. 🌟

You can buy a Game Informer in a store soon! We are very excited about this! Wahoo! People have asked about newsstand issues for years, and our response was always, "that would be great, but it's more complicated than you'd think." I'm very glad we were finally able to find a way to make it work.

ty! Reminder you can get access to the ad-free version of the show (and Sarah's Loaded Gun) by going Patreon.com/MinnMax

This is the most candid I've ever publicly gotten about my life, my career, and my mental health! Come for the story about how I got into video game librarianship, stay for the alarming revelation about the town where I grew up (which continues to influence my approach to history)!

The new episode of the MinnMax Show is now live on YouTube and podcast platforms! Guest host Kyle Bosman recruits @markmacdo.bsky.social and @pokachee.bsky.social to finally figure out what type of game Lumines is and what those little blocks are called. www.youtube.com/watch?v=93ts...

very excited to add @nocapsbb.bsky.social to the noclip_2 crew. she's gonna help us expand our indie game coverage and produce more scripted shorts about the games we love. youtu.be/EEqi4mUD6uU

When it comes to a wedding guestlist people always ask if you have a big family but they never ask how podcasts you’ve done. Thrilled to have worked with so many talented people and even more thrilled to get to call so many of them friends.

Had an amazing time in Boston last night, thank you so much to everyone who came out!

From the man who spends every waking hour complaining...

Despite the ravages of age and an internet steeped in misinformation, your eyes – in this one case – do not deceive you: Website different. It’s taken an immense amount of time and effort, but welcome to Aftermath version 2.0: aftermath.site/aftermath-rela...

We've done 500 of these things! Thanks to everyone for watching.

Pew Pew Bang at Really Rad Weekend!! Come see our panel at 1:30pm!

I donked up and got the wrong beret and now they’re bullying me

Editors are the unsung heroes of content. So please give a warm welcome to Jason Oestreicher (@unastrike.com) who will be helping out with editing while Ben is on paternity leave!

He's not the stepdad he's the dad who stepped up. 😤 Say hello (again) to Kyle Bosman! He'll be hosting The MinnMax Show while Ben is on paternity leave.

Baby girl and her mom are doing great, just an impossible amount of love today. I’m out on paternity leave, will be back for MinnMax’s Game of the Year debate in mid-December!

If you're looking for a fun tabletop game to play with family/friends over the holidays, might I recommend Hot Streak? It's from the co-designer of UFO 50 and Time Barons (also one of my favorite tabletop games). It's a mascot racing game, but with more table talk/light strategy than Camel Up. 👍👍👍

15 years ago I started working at Game Informer. Here's my desk and the view from my desk.

Heck yeah, support A Profound Waste of Time! They are sooo cool.

If you're into the details of running an independent media outlet, might I direct you to the new episode of Bonus Pod where I go in-depth on the successes and failures of MinnMax this year. www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

9 years ago, visiting Arkane Austin for the Prey cover story with Game Informer. That team deserved better.

Still thinking about the Elektra making-of where Jennifer Garner wants assurances that the piece of crap movie won't be a piece of crap movie.

Max Settings is live right now on Twitch! @leovader.com, @ohheyitsjeffm.bsky.social, and @jacobgeller.com are getting the job done in Arc Raiders. And it looks amazing running on Leo's RTX 5080! #RTXON #GeForcePartner www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow

It's time to prepare for battle. It's the Game of The Year Debate Prologue this week on The MinnMax Show, we share games that we need more people to play before our great debate begins in December. youtu.be/VuU6nP7iWGo

Because of games like Final Fantasy, part of the Trivia Tower rules say numbers and Roman Numerals are interchangable. So when the answer we were looking for was 1000xResist, this person answered it as MxResist to save time. It counts! I had a blast on the new episode - youtube.com/live/Y4jfDIz...

A huuuge congratulations to the @pewpewbang.bsky.social crew for winning best game podcast of the year! Help spread the word about Pew Pew Bang, please! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

John Dickerson is welcome back to MinnMax as a guest cohort whenever he wants. youtu.be/Ln2WI6WNQdQ?...

It's fascinating to see PlayStation erase anything that isn't a hit. Still thinking about Midnight Murder Club from the creators of Knockout City. It's a fun party/horror game PUBLISHED by PlayStation and they haven't mentioned it once this Halloween season. store.steampowered.com/app/2698870/...

MinnMax is 6 years old today. I'm so thankful to have an infinite project of trying to build, steer, and sustain this outlet. I could spend the rest of my life thinking about the things and people that magically lined up to give MinnMax momentum. We cannot thank you enough for making this possible!

You all raised over $102,000 for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota with our Give To The Max charity stream, here's a special thank you note from the nonprofit.

After 6 years with TheGamer, Valnet has decided to shut down features and lay off the entire team, including me. I don't know what's next for me but I intend to stay in games, whether that's at another outlet, consulting, or PR. If you have any leads, I'd appreciate any help

On this week's New Show Plus, we're revisiting all your favorite moments from the series' history, which means obviously we're watching this one. Watch the full revisit, including talks on the show's origin and evolution, here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLdm...

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true. I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had. I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.
