Hello fellow game players. My question this week has to do with New Years resolutions, which aren’t always looked at positively. What is your favorite New Years resolution you’ve ever made and why?

Adam Cohen

Hey MinnMax crew! I recently started playing Greedfall. While I really like the story, the setting, and even the non-combat quests, the combat is so broken and terrible I've given up on it and plan to trade it in. What game have you played that you really wanted to like, but just couldn't because of poor design?

FlaminQueso

Hey howdy hey Ben and those computer lovin’ cohorts, If you could make one book series into an excellent video game, which would you choose? What type of game would you want for your adaptation? For me, the Princess of Mars series (that bad Disney John Carter movie was based on that book) is the one I think would lend itself very well to a video game. A 3rd person, story driven action game, would be ideal. Thanks, FlaminQueso

FlaminQueso

Cohorts and Hanson, If your life were an N64 era video game, what noise would you make every time you rolled? When you jumped? Thanks, Queso

Hey MinnMax Fam, Being the father of a two year old and weighed down by a time demanding and mentally taxing job, I find the Nintendo Switch perfect for the short 20-30 minute play sessions of AAA games I crave all in a convenient handheld. Since Nintendo has been so successful, and since a lot of their core consumers are now having families, do you see Xbox or Sony taking a serious look into making one more push for handheld gaming? Streaming can only work for so many and the idea of using my phone which is mainly used for work as a gaming screen makes me a little nauseous. Thanks and keep up the great work! -noonrisekingdom

Hey Ben and crew. Am i the only one that loves exploring fancy houses in games? One of my favorite parts of Spider-man was exploring Norman's swanky pent-house. Not to mention the painters mansion in Detroit: Become human, Croft manor, or Heartman's pad in Death Stranding. Do any of you share my digital interior design fetish? If so, what are some of your favorite houses in gaming?

Strange Sloth

Hey Maximen! Fellow minion reporting for duty! I was wondering if you all have played a game called Children of Morta? It’s a top down pixel art Diablo / Enter the Gungeon style game. The music is amazing and it’s on game pass. I highly recommend it! P.S. Knights and Bikes is really fun me and my wife have a lot of fun jumping in puddles and role playing as the characters!

Neil Brown

Hey Ben and music loving cohorts, what game introduced you to an artist or style of music you never knew before? Recently Death Stranding brought me Low roar, and hotline Miami introduced me to synth wave and my favourites, carpenter Brut and Perturbator.

Duderado

Hello Minntendudes! Tell me about a recent "honeymoon" period you had with a game. You know, a time when you play a game and everything feels fresh, exciting, enticing - you can't stop thinking about playing the game, even when you're at work. I had that last year with World of Warcraft Classic. The early leveling experience made me nostalgic for the old days that were full of fun social experiences with friends and random players. Resurrecting a random Troll in the Barrens or dueling against 3 puny Alliance in the dead wastes of Desolace, it truly felt amazing being back in that world. But unfortunately the archaic designs surfaced and I lost all interest in playing once I reached the max level of 60 and entered a phase of grind or die for gear. Thus ended a long and beautiful return to WoW Classic. How about the crew, tell me about your favorite experiences that for some reason turned sour. Thanks guys, keep up the fantastic content!

Paul Poff

Hey Ben and the Minnetmen! Is there a phone game currently out that would make you speak up and say "Not all phone games are actual trash!" If not, what would be your ideal phone game that you could have pop into existence. (and no Ben...Tetris doesn't count)

Nognaught

Hey Ben & the CLCs. An add dropped for Disney plus the other day and it included a clip of iron man from Square Enix's Avengers game with a small d-pad logo at the top of the screen. whilst this could simply be a mistake - the presence of a unique logo that clearly implies its a game hints otherwise. Whilst i haven't seen any talk about this online, this might be a huge deal. Could it be that Disney is getting into game streaming through Disney Plus, ala stadia/xcloud, or could this be a way of converting the videogame into a tv series for Disney Plus? Is there a future for marvel cross pollination between their video games, movies, & tv shows through Disney Plus?

Bob Buel

Evening cohorts - you sound like a million bucks, I have a game for you fellas. It’s called “German Heavy Metal Band or Castlevania Boss.” So in every matchup below, one option is a real German metal band or solo artist and the other is the name of a boss from the Castlevania series. Can you find which is which? (for Hanson - the Castlevania bosses have ** at the end of them) Powerwolf or Princess of Moss** Blind Guardian or Skeleton Diver** The Creature** or The Kreator Spirit of Dracula** or Grave Digger Fleshcrawl or Slogra** Akmodan the Second** or Sinner Corvus Corax or The Water Dragons** Moonblood or Wallman** Skull Knight King** or Graveworm Nasty Grant** or Van Canto Thanks Bob Buel

James Pinto

Howdy, I finally saw Parasite and absolutely loved it. I was wondering what your #1 movie from 2019 is on your "backlog"? Thanks for all the fish, Jim from Beecher, Illinois

The Jacques

Hey Minnmax, Would you rather... have $50k deposited straight into your bank accounts? or receive $500k in pennies and you can't convert it. Jack, from Pretoria, South Africa :)

Charles Bean

Hello from Kansas City, MO! GO CHIEFS! I saw 1917 over the weekend and wow what a movie. Simple but emotional story. Have any of you gotten a chance to see it yet? Keep up the great content.

grimmfeather

Just stumbled across this ASMR video on the Japanese official Pokemon YouTube channel: Enjoy 30 minutes of Charmander sleeping by a campfire: https://youtu.be/tOWBxliSGgI Are you guys planning to try Pokemon Sleep when it releases?

ChallengeAccepted

Hey MinnMax. Sam from Anderson, SC here. I have a game for you! The game involves making picks on what games will end the year with the highest metacritic score. Biggest ego goes first. Going around the table picking one game at a time each person will select a game releasing this year that they think will end the year with the highest metacritic score. Each person selects four games. At the end of the year, the person with the highest total score wins.

Guy Incognito

It's a slower first 2 months of gaming than previous years. For those of you not carrot deep in Kakarot, what games from 2019 are you currently or look forward to catching up on? I'm playing The Surge 2 (a solid Souls-clone) and recently picked up A Short Hike.

MisterNomer

Hey gang! Two things: 1. Like in your former lives for the Nintendo DS, please can you do a retrospective on the PSP and/or PS Vita - two landmark and underrated consoles and their colourful libraries. 2. What is the oldest active save game that you play on to this day? Not so much about hours logged but time since day one of continuous play till now. Couple of examples that I play are GT4 on PS2 started in 2004 - still collecting driving license trophies and MGS Peace Walker, my original 2010 file has hopped between my PSP, PS3 (through the voodoo of Transfarring) and now home on my Vita, sitting at 98 hours and growing, one Extra Op at a time. Keep up the amazing show! Mirko from Dubai

Bruce The Genetic Jackhammer Rando

Greetings Minnisters, with all the delays that have been happening lately do you see it being a problem for the industry? When the majority of games get delayed at what point can the consumer be justifiably upset if at all? When you look at all the major releases this year just about all of them have been delayed with all of them giving the almost universally approved response of less crunch and a better quality game with almost no backlash. As games get bigger and more complex to make I feel the games industry need to reassess how they unveil release dates, what's the point in having them if almost no developer can hit them?

Mike Vogt

We were discussing Metal Gear Rising in the Discord, and I got really sad that there won't ever be a sequel to that game. Which potential game series were taken from us too soon?

Mark Polley

Kyle - Are you still playing Breath of the Wild? How is it going on the hard mode? Would you recomend? Ben - Can you talk a little more about Ape Out? I recently played it due to the high ranking on the Two Tens, and its…pretty good. The music is excellent and the game is fun. I enjoyed my time with it - but probably wouldn't have finished it without your recommendation. What is it about that game that you loved so much?

Hans Kleinenberg

Hi, would you rather live in Fallout 3's Wasteland as a scientist, The Witcher's world as a carpenter, Pandora (Borderlands) as a vendor, Metro Exodus' Russia as a bartender, Elder Scrolls' Skyrim as a bard or Dragon Age's Thedas as a stable hand?

MickManga

A simple question but which of the long running JRPG series do you all enjoy the most. Dragon Quest (Square Enix), Final Fantasy (Square Enix), or Tales (Namco)?

Dan Willey

Will any of you be watching the 3D animated remake of the first Pokemon movie now that it is coming to Netflix? What is your level of nostalgia for the original?

Tim Lorow

Do you have a gaming journalist kindred spirit? Someone who shares a very similar taste in games so if they like, you will like it. Mine for years has been... Kyle Hilliard? While I appreciate all of your tastes and discussions, when it comes to choosing for myself, I can count on Kyle.

Brenton and Meriam

As simple as it may seem, I'm really appreciative of how positively and frequentlyJeffm and Kyle talk about their wives. Even thought Kyle especially gets teased for it, it's a nice change of pace from the negative rhetoric I'd hear from grumpy New England husbands growing up, and that you still hear in a lot of media. It fits the getting better theme quite well, if you ask me.

Nick DeFeo

I'm sure other people may have asked this, but how are the CLC feeling about the delays so far this year? I wasn't shocked about Cyberpunk 2077, but Dying Light 2 felt like a big blow.

Brady Easter

Recently "sleep over games" have been a topic of discussion, which brought to mind this question: What's your favorite sleep over game related memory? For me, it was when my childhood best friend and I were playing the original Super Smash Bros. on Friday night. We were on the Saffron City stage (the one on top of the buildings with the Pokemon that pop out of the little door every now and then). My friend accidentally ran into the open Pokemon door and a Chansey popped out. Before it could throw out its eggs, my friend--who happened to have a home run bat at the time--yells "GET OUTTA HERE, CHANSEY!!" and takes a home run swing at the poor, pink blob. Well, turns out you can actually hit the Pokemon on that stage with the bat and Chansey just rockets off the stage. We had a quick, shocked moment of silence and then we burst out laughing, the game at a standstill as none of us could even hold a controller because we were all cracking up.

Victor Pham

What is your ideal format for an E3 Press Conference? Trailer after trailer like Sony's 2016? Celebrity performances like Ubisoft? Or would you rather just have a direct and not a live show?

David blessman

I know it’s old news but what’s your ranking of ign’s new scale?

David blessman

Hey, court of owls is Batman vs robin animated movie... check it out

David blessman

Owlman is an old villain of Batman from earth 3 pre crisis on infinite earths, 1985. Learn more from the movie crisis on two earths

David blessman

Any thoughts on the passing of college humor and other shows from that group p?

Travis Manick

Cyberpunk, FF7R, Dying Light, and others have recently been delayed. Delays are nothing new to the industry, and many people inside and outside of the industry often show support, cheerleading more time for better quality, and to release the pressure valve on a development team under crunch. On that note, Gamespot recently posted an article following an interview with one of CD Project Red's joint CEOs implying that delays really just extend crunch, they don't relieve it. What are your thoughts on this? As a consumer, is there anything I can do to help fight this?

Styster

Which Smash character announcement was the biggest surprise for you? Was there a certain reveal that you particularly enjoyed?

Jordan Shaffer

I started playing Resident Evil 2 after you guys named your it Game of the Year, and I was loving it for the first 4-5 hours. Then the whole Mr. X thing happened and completely ruined it for me! I was really enjoying exploring the police station while solving puzzles and dealing with the zombies and I thought it was so tense and well paced. But now an unstoppable enemy is always only a room or two away, so I can't leave the safe room unless I know exactly where I'm going. I followed a guide for a little bit, but that goes against everything I had liked about the first few hours, so I think I'm calling it quits on the game. My question is this: Has there ever been a single mechanic in a game that you were really enjoying that completely ruined the experience for you to the point that you stopped playing it?

Ian Neas

What is a studio you like but not for their most popular games and what game from them, such as I like From Software but not for their souls games i Like their Armored Core Games.

wittynicknamehere .

Jordan Shaffer's post largely mirrors my experience with the RE2 remake. I didn't like Mr. X at all, because he cheats. If I juke him and sprint away from him down a hall, it defeats the point of my even TRYING if he suddenly bursts out from a door AHEAD of me ten seconds later. Up until he is introduced, I was heels-over-head in love with the game. Afterward, I tolerated it.

Jake Z

What game has the best looking fire and what game has the best looking water? My picks are Mad Max for best fire and Witcher 3 for best water.

Edgar Vazquez

What's the longest time anyone has gone without playing video games? I usually never went long since games have been portable since I was kid, but I don't think I've gone longer than a week.

Rickfromatlanta

What was the best and worst setup you used while playing games while visiting a studio? Did they have you playing on like an 90 inch TV or maybe an old CRT over a pool of Ice like in Ready Player One? Thanks

Donnie

Hey guys! What would be your roster if you created your own Smash Bros-type game? I’ll start you with Stranger from Stranger’s Wrath: his various critters he shoots from his crossbow can have different effects on the field and his super would be his end game look and stomping all over the field. Also Parvati from Outer Worlds. She’s got the shrink ray, she’s got a big hammer and her super is calling in SAM to clean up the competition.

Julian Watkins

I gotta tell you, I completely missed the boat on Breath of the Wild. As I am not a big or even moderate Nintendo fan, I didn't bother to get around to playing Breath of the Wild until literally a few weeks ago when I got a Switch for my partner. And although it ain't perfect, it is, as everyone has already attested to, an Efing great game. But seeing as how it's been out for so long and people have moved on, I find myself with no one to really share my experience with or fawn over the game with, aside from vicariously through old reddit posts. Has this ever happened to you? You take forever to get around to a game the whole community is in love with only to find yourself with no one to really share your burgeoning love with by the time you've drank the Kool-Aid? This is usually the case for me with tv shows or movies. but I can now add BotW to that list.

Brian Keese Jr

This might be too late for this week but I've seen a ton of hype for the 'Not Pokemon' MMO TemTem that came out in Beta this week. Wondering if you guys have checked it out and what your early thoughts are!

Mike Sokaz

Hey MinnMaxers, Any plans to start doing full-on, traditional reviews with a score for games? It's probably difficult with a crew of four people that have to cover as many topics as possible, but I find myself wishing there were a "MinnMax Reviews" section of the podcast. Thanks for reading, Mike, Clinton Township, MI

Blake Kibby

Hey Benn 2-ens and the CLC’s. What is the game that you have played the least (that is, for a non-zero amount of time)?

Thomas Hoster

Hey Minnmax! Been playing Escape from Tarkov off and on for the past couple years but wow has it blown up after getting heavy interest from streamers. Have any of you give the game a go?

Gal Sharpton

End the egg debate! Literally the “desert island” food choice. Eggs are loaded with high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, good fats and various trace nutrients. A large egg contains (10): Only 77 calories, with 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein with all 9 essential amino acids.

Aaron Pedersen

What should I have for breakfast tomorrow? Wheaties, Frosted Flakes or Raisin Bran?
