There will never be a bigger episode of The MinnMax Show. On this special episode, Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Leo Vader, Jeff Marchiafava, Sarah Podzorski, Haley MacLean, and Janet Garcia unpack some love for the new farming sim game Fields of Mistria that Sarah has been working on as a marketing/social media manager. It's good, we swear! Then Leo Vader talks about jumping into the alpha for Splitgate 2 and we all shed some love for Cat Quest 3. After that, Leo talks about his wild trip to San Francisco to play with a full VR treadmill called the Virtuix Omni One. Then we get serious about podcasting and invite a gigantic crew of former Game Informer editors to answer community questions and reminisce about the magazine closing after 33 years. On that panel we have Adam Biessener, Andrew Reiner, Andy McNamara, Ben Reeves, Bryan Vore, Dan Tack, Dan Ryckert, Elise Favis, Ben Hanson, Javy Gwaltney, Jeff Marchiafava, Joe Juba, Kimberley Wallace, Leo Vader, Matt Helgeson, Matt Bertz, Nick Ahrens, Tim Turi, Jason Oestreicher, Wade Wojcik, and that's only a fraction of the folks who worked at Game Informer throughout the years! There are too many stories to go around, so thanks so much for bearing with all of us as we parade down memory lane.

On this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, we create a monster for the 500th episode. Host Andy McNamara and producer Alex Stadnik are joined by the show's hosts from throughout the years. Matt Helgeson, Tim Turi, and Ben Hanson all make appearances to catch up and reminisce about the show. Next up, we have a murderer's row of GI editors join us to talk about the show and what games are filling their backlog. Here is a giant list to get you excited: Leo Vader, Dan "The Jacket" Tack, Andy Reiner, Matt Kato, Ben Reeves, Matt Miller, Joe Juba, and Jeff Cork (Kim Wallace and Brian Shea couldn't join us, but they are here in spirit). Joe Juba and Jeff Cork go the extra mile and stay to answer the always-entertaining and enlightening community emails (in which I confuse my PSP and Vita references in some of my AndyMc story moments, so please know I was wrong and you are free to mock me openly and often).

Ah, Sonic the Hedgehog: a designed-by-committee character born out of pure cynicism that nonetheless won over a generation and continues to be extremely popular today.
