Episode notes

There will never be a bigger episode of The MinnMax Show. On this special episode, Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Leo Vader, Jeff Marchiafava, Sarah Podzorski, Haley MacLean, and Janet Garcia unpack some love for the new farming sim game Fields of Mistria that Sarah has been working on as a marketing/social media manager. It's good, we swear! Then Leo Vader talks about jumping into the alpha for Splitgate 2 and we all shed some love for Cat Quest 3. After that, Leo talks about his wild trip to San Francisco to play with a full VR treadmill called the Virtuix Omni One. Then we get serious about podcasting and invite a gigantic crew of former Game Informer editors to answer community questions and reminisce about the magazine closing after 33 years. On that panel we have Adam Biessener, Andrew Reiner, Andy McNamara, Ben Reeves, Bryan Vore, Dan Tack, Dan Ryckert, Elise Favis, Ben Hanson, Javy Gwaltney, Jeff Marchiafava, Joe Juba, Kimberley Wallace, Leo Vader, Matt Helgeson, Matt Bertz, Nick Ahrens, Tim Turi, Jason Oestreicher, Wade Wojcik, and that's only a fraction of the folks who worked at Game Informer throughout the years! There are too many stories to go around, so thanks so much for bearing with all of us as we parade down memory lane. We also answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
