0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to a new episode of the MinMAC show,
0:23.6	place about games, friends getting better.
0:25.2	I'm Ben Hansen, joined by Leo Vader.
0:27.3	Yes, sir, you are.
0:28.7	Joined by Calli Ljolier.
0:30.9	Hello, and we're being served some Jeff Markiafava today.
0:35.4	That's me, piping hot.
0:37.0	And last but certainly not least, Haley McClain's here. Howdy-O-D-O-Dy. Now, this isn't it. This episode is just going to get, I was going to say better or better, but I guess that's offensive to people. But later on in the show, we'll also be joined by Michael Huber from Easy Allies, because we need some help breaking down the big announcements at Sony's
0:56.0	state of play. So we'll be
0:57.9	sharing all those reactions
0:59.7	later on in this show, but
1:01.8	kicking it off. We're talking about
1:03.8	some other darn games. We're talking about baby steps
1:05.8	and we're talking about Ghost of
1:08.1	Yote from Sucker Punch.
1:10.1	Very excited to dive into this thing overall.
1:13.1	How's everybody doing with the, I want to use the word glut, but that's a really negative
1:17.8	sounding word. The glut of games, the deluge of gaming possibilities. Is everyone feeling like,
1:23.7	oh, I'm being swept way down the river right now.
1:33.5	I found one that I really, really love that stole all my attention and made me not even miss any other games for quite a long period of time. So I'm feeling pretty good. And that was
1:37.3	baby steps? No, no, it was not baby steps. Okay. Interesting. Little tease for the discussion
1:42.2	coming up in two minutes. Interesting. Yeah, I feel I felt like I was more intimidated for a while because it really is so crazy. But at this moment now, I'm kind of flowing through them. I'm like getting to them at a good rate. And they're hitting so hard. It's just like exciting. It just feels awesome to be playing so many games that are leaving a mark on me. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot happening here. So a lot we're talking about, we're not going to get to some biggies until next week. Hades 2 is out, 1.0. The day we've all been waiting for, super excited to jump into that sucker. We're going to be talking about that on next week's episode of the podcast. Consume me. A very interesting game. I can't wait to unpack on this podcast.
