Ben Hanson is the best video game podcast host in the world. When he left game informer i wept. When he started minnmax i wept again. So glad to see him take a step forward to do his own thing. Love Leo as well you’re hilarious dude. But unfortunately life’s only absolutes, death, taxes, and sad game journalist masquerading as political ops.

Great group of people, thoughtful conversations and opinions. Have been a fan of them since game informer days and plan on sticking with them as long as they’re around!

Often too long and very rambly. Some hosts hog the mic, and bad takes with misinformation about games can go unchallenged. More editing would go a long way here.
