MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, Jacob Geller, and Janet Garcia are joined by legendary game writer Erik Wolpaw (Portal, Portal 2, Psychonauts, Half-Life: Alyx) to celebrate the release of Mega Crit's Slay the Spire II and explain how it's the incredible sequel to one of the greatest games ever made. Then we talk about Janet and Jacob's trip to the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, follow up on Mewgenics, revisit The Division II, and share some final (spoiler-free) thoughts on Resident Evil Requiem. After that, we answer your community questions including NVIDIA's divisive reveal of DLSS 5 technology and its impact on Grace's face and dive into why Wolpaw can't stop thinking about moving Valve to Duluth, Minnesota.
