About this episode
Welcome to a special episode of The MinnMax Show! Ben Hanson is joined by MinnMax contributor and co-director of the Video Game History Foundation Kelsey Lewin, localization superstar (and Sarah's former boss) from 8-4 John Ricciardi, and the founder of Giant Bomb/his new Patreon Jeff Gerstmann. We talk about Jeff leaving Giant Bomb a bit out of the gate before diving in to how to preserve game history. Then we talk about the HD-2D remake of Square's Live A Live on the Nintendo Switch, Kelsey shares her thoughts on Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and the rumored successor to Monster Hunter: World, and we unpack the new Bloomberg article about the healthy but slow development of Grand Theft Auto 6. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax Watch and share the video version of this episode here - https://youtu.be/fulvaAJmMoc Here are some links/plugs mentioned in the show... https://www.patreon.com/jeffgerstmann http://enjoyyourgaming.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/8-4-play/id393557569 https://gamehistory.org/ GTA 6 article - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-27/gta-6-release-date-rockstar-cleans-up-image-after-employee-backlash Help support MinnMax's supporters! https://www.iam8bit.com - Promo Code: CORNMONTH https://nordvpn.com/minnmax Promo Code: minnmax To jump to a particular discussion, check out the timestamps below... 00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:53 - Jeff Gerstmann on launching his Patreon 00:15:28 - How to preserve game history 00:43:28 - Live A Live 00:58:08 - Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak 01:07:41 - The first real details on GTA VI 01:13:46 - Thanking MinnMax's biggest supporters 01:16:31 - Community questions 01:53:09 - Get A Load Of This Jeff's GALOT - https://www.cbssports.com/wwe/news/vince-mcmahon-steps-down-as-wwe-ceo-and-chairman-during-investigation-of-alleged-misconduct/ John's GALOT - https://youtu.be/yt4KG9ib8S4 Hanson's GALOT - https://www.thedrive.com/news/44323/how-interstate-highways-get-their-numbers Kelsey's GALOT - https://www.fanbyte.com/news/the-curious-case-of-nier-automatas-newly-discovered-church/ Community GALOT - https://www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film/genndy-tartakovskys-popeye-animatic-video-leaked-219062.html Become a Game Champion by supporting MinnMax at the $50 tier on Patreon and lock in the game of your choice! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax Team Fortress 2 - DJDio Ghost of Tsushima - ProcyonNumber6 Earth Defense Force 2017 - ErinJBear Jak and Daxter - SteveB Wordle - PrettyGoodPrinting.com Spy Fox in: Dry Cereal - Clemens Zobel Journey - Spider_Dan BioShock - Maniac The Addams Family Pinball Machine (Bally, 1992) - Bob Buel Elite Beat Agents - Divorced Cougar (Mike M) Snowboard Kids 2 - Tanner Borderlands - Jawarhello Viva Piñata - Nickfilo God Hand - Patrick Polk The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker - Otsego12 Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Starkiller]( https://www.patreon.com/minnmax/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=minnmax%20show )
