MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Jeff Marchiafava, and Kyle Hilliard get in the summer mood by attempting to predict Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest Showcase and the biggest reveals from PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo. Then we celebrate the release of Subnautica 2 in early access and share early impressions for Alabaster Dawn from the creators of CrossCode. Oh, and JeffM has a new roguelike inspired by chess to share called Gambonanza. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
