Welcome to the biggest episode of The MinnMax Show EVER! This week is dedicated to handing out the annual MinnMax Awards for specific categories in gaming this year and Ben Hanson is joined by Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, Janet Garcia, Sarah Podzorski, Leo Vader, Jeff Marchiafava, and Kelsey Lewin. We run down our picks for Best Thing, Dumbest Thing, Biggest News, The Game We All Agree Is Probably Good But We Didn't Play, Best Character, Best Moment, and The Greatest Work Of Art Of All Time. To improve your experience, we added specific timecodes for any discussions containing spoilers for specific games.
