MinnMax's Asheville Meetup Is Canceled, Donate To Save The Town

Donate Here - https://bit.ly/minnmaxasheville Breaking in for an emergency update here: MinnMax's "Big Community Meetup" in Asheville, North Carolina was scheduled for this Saturday, October 5th, but nature had other plans. Due to the devasting impact of Hurricane Helene on the area, we're forced to cancel the meetup. Please contact your airline/housing to get a refund and help spread the word to any friends who were going to attend. We're using this unfortunate situation as an opportunity to raise money for the community, which is struggling to get fresh water and electricity at the moment and will be struggling to rebuild for quite some time. We've launched a campaign to raise money for Americares and specifically their efforts in North Carolina, all donations go directly to the certified nonprofit. Here's a description from them: "Americares is responding to Hurricane Helene to get critical aid to those most impacted. Your tax-deductible gift to the U.S. Disaster Relief Fund will help ensure Americares has the resources required to respond effectively and quickly to natural disasters and extreme weather events with medicines, medical supplies and other humanitarian aid for people in crisis and continue to help survivors rebuild their lives." Donate Here - https://bit.ly/minnmaxasheville We'll be pushing the charity drive all week and hosting a charity stream this Saturday from 7-11pm Central - the time we would have been at the community meetup. The stream will be on MinnMax's YouTube channel. We'll get together to play some games online, feel free to leave suggestions in the comments below for any online multiplayer games you want to see us play. Assuming the town will slowly be rebuilt, the plan is we'll return to Asheville in 2025 for the "Big Community Meetup." Additionally, we'll still be hosting a marathon "Give To The Max" charity stream later this November for a nonprofit in Minneapolis. Stay tuned for more info surrounding that event. Our hearts go out to everybody caught in the path of the storm and a huge thanks to everybody in the MinnMax community for understanding and donating to this cause. https://bit.ly/minnmaxasheville This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

The Ultimate Top 10 And Our Holiday Break Games

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On the first episode for 2024, Ben Hanson (currently remote from Puerto Rico) is joined by Sarah Podzorski, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, and Leo Vader to talk about the surprising games we all played over holiday the break. We dive into the timelessness of Chrono Trigger, Leo gushes more about The Finals, and Sarah explains why House Flipper 2 is better than the first. Oh, also Kyle talks about catching up on the great games of 2023 by playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Final Fantasy XVI. We also run down the "objective" list of the best games from 2023 by reading off the MinnMax community's Two Tens, or technically their Top 20 list that's been hive-minded from nearly 500 voters.

A Mario-Tastic Nintendo Direct, FFXVI and Game of Thrones, Diablo 4, Lies of P

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! We are, for the first time, flying without the Ben wind beneath our wings. So if the podcast sounds a little different, that's why - we're still navigating the hosting and technical sides of this transition, and we appreciate your patience! Host Kelsey Lewin is joined by Jacob Geller, Jeff Marchiafava, and Jenna Stoeber to discuss June's sudden Nintendo Direct and the many Mario games that caught their eye, plus Mythforce and Headbangers Rhythm Royale. Jacob and Kelsey delve into the ways Final Fantasy XVI draws from Game of Thrones, while Jeff and Jenna languish praise on the Hellraiser vibes in Diablo 4. And of course we tackle some challenging questions from the audience about cards and characters. As always, you say "jump" we say "how many times has humanity jumped through the span of time?"

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this episode, Ben Hanson is joined by Leo Vader, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava to unpack the biggest reveals from the Nintendo Direct Mini.
