The six shooter format is clearly flawed as a game/segment to do on the show, but I am charmed by the insistence on continuing to go with it each year. I would dearly miss its absence.

Hey cohorts, Hope you enjoyed the 6-shooter duel. Now get ready for minnmax’s newest game: “ONE. MORE. BULLET.” 8 more games are coming that you have the opportunity to use your bonus bullet on. These are all hypothetical, unannounced games. If you shoot it, you get to play it, and you don’t get to play the others *hint*: all 8 will be certified bangers. No tricks here. If we get to the end of the list, and you haven’t used your bullet, you get to play none of them. Ready? 1 - the third and final game in the Breath of the Wild trilogy 2 - yakuza 9 3 - fallout 5 4 - the next Super Smash Bros. Game 5 - the third and final game in The Last of Us trilogy 6 - Max Payne 4 7 - the next game in the Expedition 33 franchise 8 - Elden Ring II

Hell yea I love the six shooter duels! Genuinely exciting every time you do this silly bit, always good energy

Juan M

Should have just let Hailey retroactively unbang a game.

Ethon

Love these episodes every year

beargrub

haley, just think about how powerful you are that leo needed to use three bullets to win gta and only by a rule-bending technicality!

Ian

Loved the time being a Patron of Minnmax but no shots for Fire Emblem ? It’s time to say my goodbyes. (Kidding keep up the great work, surprising how fun of a format this is compared to “are you excited for x upcoming game”)

CaffeineDad

This was the most unhinged episode yet. I’ve never wanted to playback episodes of a gaming podcast since they’re typically so of that time, but man this one made me wanna track down all the other six-shooter episodes. 9.9/10, only missing that last tenth because no one shot Fire Emblem!

Got Smile

Yeaaaa y'all robbed Hailey and you know it

Got Smile

Fun episode tho as always

HydraTower

Oh my God it’s been a year.
