Hello and welcome to the minmax show, place about games, friends, and getting better.

My name is Ben Hansen, joined by Leo Vater.

And Jacob Geller, special guest. Welcome back, sir.

I'm here. He's here. He's got some funky lighting behind him, and he's here to help us unpack some good stuff.

On this episode of the podcast, we're talking Kena, Bridges Spirits, the game whose name I did not forget after all this time.

I talked a little bit more about Deathloop because I'm very curious to hear some more takes on that.

Jacob Geller, he sent a flare somehow directly to my house and then started screaming, you need to talk about severed steel.

You need to talk about severed steel. So we'll be talking about severed steel.

And then we're going to relax. Everyone's going to lean back, close their eyes, and I'm going to regale them with some stories from Age of Empires for.

Get ready for that, everybody, and then some great community questions in the back half of the show.

Couple of things first. If you're listening to this, watching this and saying, what is wrong with them?

Where's the Nintendo love? Why does this crew hate Nintendo so much?

We don't. Not all of us do. But we recorded this before the Nintendo Direct happened.

So if you want to see our reactions to that, you can go to minmax's YouTube channel. We'll have streamed our reactions right now.

Look, it might fall through, but right now as with the time of this recording, the plan is for Kyle to stream that with,

surreal, viscous out of the darkness. So you can check it.

Unreal isn't consulting on any Nintendo games.

Very sure would have you to notice Jacob Geller.

I can check that on our YouTube channel that I'm sure we'll be unpacking some of the big news from that next week.

But before we get to the meat and potatoes here, we should do a little segment that we've

been doing at the top of the show where we take one community question, bring it to

the top of the show, which does not disqualify it for being questioned of the week.
