<p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/minnmax" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/minnmax</a> - We'll DM you a Steam code for Skate Story if you support MinnMax at the $5 tier before Monday, April 6th. New or returning supporters welcome. We'll update this description if we run out of codes.</p> <p>MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Jacob Geller, and Kyle Hilliard are joined by former MinnMax Guest Cohort Alanah Pearce as she launches her own production company called Charred Pictures that focuses on adapting video games to TV and movies in a way that's friendlier to independent developers. We then attempt to build a list of 25 essential games for gamers to play to fully understand the scope of the medium... but with a poisonous twist. Let us know in the comments what you would have included on the list. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and submitting a question! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/minnmax" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/minnmax</a></p> <p>Watch and share the video version here - <a href="https://youtu.be/EayqMZeiQhQ" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/EayqMZeiQhQ</a></p> <p>Win tickets to the NierR concert by following MinnMaxShow on Instagram and leaving a comment here with your city of choice - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWjtYg6kU3S/?img_index=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/p/DWjtYg6kU3S/?img_index=1</a></p> <p>Help support MinnMax's supporters!</p> <p><a href="https://www.discoverpoco.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.discoverpoco.com</a> - Visit Pocahontas County, Iowa</p> <p><a href="https://www.mintmobile.com/minnmax" rel="nofollow">https://www.mintmobile.com/minnmax</a> - Premium wireless starting at $15/month</p> <p><a href="https://www.iam8bit.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.iam8bit.com</a> - 10% off with Promo Code: FIREFLOWERS</p> <p>To jump to a particular discussion, check out the timestamps below... </p> <p>00:00:00 - Intro</p> <p>00:03:55 - Alanah Pearce's new production company: Charred Pictures</p> <p>00:13:03 - Valencia, Spain community meetup - April 14th</p> <p>00:14:19 - Get a Steam code for Skate Story</p> <p>00:15:27 - 25 Games Everybody Should Play</p> <p>00:33:35 - Visit Pocahontas County, Iowa</p> <p>00:35:19 - 25 Games Everybody Should Play</p> <p>01:24:19 - Mint Mobile</p> <p>01:25:40 - Thanking iam8bit - <a href="https://www.iam8bit.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.iam8bit.com/</a></p> <p>01:27:42 - Community questions</p> <p>02:06:20 - Get A Load Of This</p> <p>Jacob's GALOT - <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/baby-steps-fans-think-the-game-might-secretly-be-a-fan-made-uncharted-5" rel="nofollow">https://www.ign.com/articles/baby-steps-fans-think-the-game-might-secretly-be-a-fan-made-uncharted-5</a></p> <p>Hanson's GALOT - <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/artful-amoeba/plants-like-people-succumb-to-anesthesia-video/" rel="nofollow">https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/artful-amoeba/plants-like-people-succumb-to-anesthesia-video/</a></p> <p>Kyle's GALOT - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/travis-howe-a379251_a-long-while-back-a-team-was-assem" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/posts/travis-howe-a379251_a-long-while-back-a-team-was-assem</a>[…]m=member_desktop\&amp;rcm=ACoAADJ9j9QBNlHh0pyisRzsKpGCWpcUG2u0Wlc</p> <p>Community GALOT - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop</a>\&amp;v=PtHrkZgn-mU</p> <p>Links to other things mentioned in the episode...</p> <p>Watch Ben on CBS and FOX morning shows in Minneapolis - <a href="https://youtu.be/ZRjDfRUSfFM" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/ZRjDfRUSfFM</a></p> <p>Alanah's Charred Pictures - <a href="https://www.charredpictures.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.charredpictures.com/</a></p> <p><a href="https://gameinformer.com/subscribe" rel="nofollow">https://gameinformer.com/subscribe</a></p> <p>Ezra Klein podcast - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYrgLn7pWp8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYrgLn7pWp8</a></p> <p>Win NieR concert tickets on Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWjtYg6kU3S/?img_index=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/p/DWjtYg6kU3S/?img_index=1</a></p> <p>Disclosure - Games discussed on MinnMax content are most often provided for free by the publisher or developer.</p> <p>Support us on Patreon - <a href="https://www.patreon.com/minnmax" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/minnmax</a></p> <p>Support MinnMax directly on YouTube - <a href="https://youtube.com/minnmax/join" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/minnmax/join</a></p> <p>Follow us on Twitch - <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow" rel="nofollow">https://www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow</a></p> <p>Subscribe to our YouTube channel - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/minnmax" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/minnmax</a></p> <p>Subscribe to our solo stream channel - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@minnmaxstreamarchives" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@minnmaxstreamarchives</a></p> <p>Buy MinnMax merch here - <a href="https://minnmax.com/merch" rel="nofollow">https://minnmax.com/merch</a></p> <p>Follow us on Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/<a href="http://minnmax.com" rel="nofollow">minnmax.com</a></p> <p>Go behind the scenes on Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/minnmaxshow" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/minnmaxshow</a></p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>
