Yesss.....ace combat talk!

Vilis

Games that Shaped me in no particular order: 1. Star Tropics 2. Final Fantasy 7 3. Rise & Rule of the Ancient Empires. 4. Myst 5. Mario 64 6. Silent Hill 7. Tekken 3 8. Dance Dance Revolution 9. Crazy Taxi Or at least that's the list I can think of right now.

Ryan Schindler

Gonna be an interesting show given the recent news.

Tom Brien

9 games that shaped me: FF7 Bloody Roar 2 Metal Slug Metal Gear Solid 2 Zone Of The Enders 2 Devil May Cry 4 Super Mario Galaxy Hearthstone 80 Days It feels really difficult to chop it down to 9! It's fun to try this even if nobody reads it.

Tom Brien

What's the recent news?

Ryan Schindler

It was discovered that Jacob was found guilty of SA on a female when he was in college, and now he's out of MinnMax, and it's a whole big thing about how does MM move forward after this as far as prior content and whatnot. Like, this won't be going up on YouTube as a result. Ben mentioned it in the discord, and Jacob just posted about it on his Blusky account

ANOHNi

Chile….

Phillip Hawley

I don't know what to say, but I support Minnmax. I hope my new sub can help with a time to pause, think, and respond in the way that shows the high quality and character of Minnmaxx

Castor Troy

Bloody Roar is the best. Need a collection on pc.

Ryan Oakley

Minnmax will get through this. The show is stronger than one individual cohort, it’s always been about a collective group of wonderfully kind and funny contributors. It has fostered a wonderful positive community, and it’s been a source of light for many people. The swift and transparent response by Ben shows that he truly stands by his values, and I think that will respected by a lot of people. Much love - stay strong everybody.

Aaron

Stoked for Kyle and GI, hell yeah!

Greg Varney

Sympathy and support to the team. This is not a criticism as I recognise it’s a horrible time and there are no easy decisions right now, however, I think in light of the news about Jacob I would appreciate if this episode or its description had a quick pre-warning just to establish context regarding his removal. I think, had I known about what had happened ahead of time, I would have not listened to this particular episode as it feels uncomfortable and taints the experience to discover the news immediately after listening to and enjoying him on the podcast.

Daire

Resubbed to support you guys during this awful period ♥️ hope everyone is doing ok

David Sellers

Games that shaped me: Super Mario Bros. (I drew my own levels on paper when our TV was broken and used cutout Dixie cup Mario characters to play them) The Legend of Zelda Crystalis (Favorite on the NES) Mega Man 3 Super Metroid Breath of Fire 2 Illusion of Gaia Super Bomberman 2 If I'm allowed more than 9: LOOM Starcraft Warcraft III Earthbound Wild Arms Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue Mechwarrior 2 Sword of the Samurai

Tikwid

My heart goes out to everyone at Minnmax. I knew the right decisions would obviously made, but I wanted to still thank you for swiftly and vocally taking the action you did. I can only imagine the hurt everyone at Minnmax is feeling right now. Thank you for all that you do. Side note: I'm going to second another comment I saw suggesting a disclaimer be added to this episode (if it's possible to edit show notes after it has gone up). Not trying to be critical at this time, just a thought. 🧡🧡🧡

David Sellers

Regarding recent news, I appreciate MinnMax's transparency and action. I hope everyone at MinnMax is ok. Also, I really hope his wife is OK. Lyrics from Smooth Crminal come to mind.

Angel

Yo what?!

pabloyan

love minnmax 4ever

Jake Eckert

Listening to this on here just to see off this era and feeling bummed that this happened. I can’t imagine what y’all are going through.
