The golden age of Game Informer (when Turi, Hansen, Ryckert, Reeves, Reiner, Cork, Hilliard, Marchiafava, Helgeson, Juba and McNamara were the dream team) will always have a very special place in my heart.

[@JoeBauers]

Yep, some of my favorite games conversations. Great crew for sure

[@blapa380]

And Juba!

[@HalloweenSurfboard]

We would’ve never had Replay without Phil Kohler and Jason Aestriker (can’t remember how to spell his last name lol).

[@SkullfaceTalks]

I still pop on super replay every once in awhile from that time. My favorite though is the second game in the Neo Contra replay; tim, dan, and jeff M were absolutely hysterical on that one.

[@ChrisLT]

Yep, I'd wake up to a new Replay episode and that was basically the first thing I did every weekend.

[@Hazz3r]

I know Ben sometimes speaks about his social anxiety. After this video I'm half convinced most of it is PTSD from working with Dan Ryckart.

[@Bread_Bug]

This is like suddenly uncovering a lost season of a show you’ve rewatched 50 times already

[@PeregrinesChagrin]

I've been watching the extended episodes of The Office and this gives the exact same vibe lol

[@KelseyLewin]

28:00 is that Parlour I see?? These were deeply uncomfortable clips, thank you for sharing all of this

[@JeffreyGrubb]

You are doing such great work. Thank you!

[@jacknjilloff]

Is that the fabled “Tim doing the PSP review after a breakup” Ryckert’s told stories about??

[@shamusmcnulty]

As an old Overblood FB member from 2011-2016 I LOVE seeing all this footage, really bringing back that period of my life. Thank you for doing all of these videos!

[@SkullfaceTalks]

What was your favorite super replay? I think mine was Illbleed.

[@shamusmcnulty]

@@SkullfaceTalks Mine might be Illbleed as well, that or Cybria

[@KyleHilliard]

This was wonderful. Thank you.

[@sebastianwhpx298]

Man the best era of Game Informer with Ryckert, Turi, Reeves, Hansen, Cork, Helgenson, Wallace, Reiner, Marchiafava, and Juba. My first ever view was Overblood Super Replay and from then on i would never miss another Replay, Super Replay, or Extra Life. You guys are gods lol got me through work everyday. Glad to see most of you on MinnMax ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for everything!

[@Ajbolt89]

Dan with hair is unrecognizable until he starts talking

[@JonnyBriers]

I straight up thought that was Will Arnett on the couch

[@garrettpeters9342]

Only speaking while inhaling killed me 😂😂😂

[@manick_t1801]

The in-office candid stuff gives me PsychOdyssey vibes. All I need is some uncomfortable meetings and an Amnesia Fortnight I'll be all set

[@Noah_Krakatoa]

“We’ll become legend”

[@CrAzYpotpie]

Ben's message to the community and the PSP Go outtakes with Tim are hilarious. Thank you for uploading this. I grew up with GI as a subscription along with EGM and NP. Only in 2022 did I see any of your guys' video content, and I have basically been binging all of the replays/super replays. I was lucky to find the super replay of Raw Danger as I was searching for videos of Disaster Report, one of my favorite obscure PS2 titles. Thanks for all your work on those great videos. RIP GameInformer.

[@KyleLemmon]

That PSP Go video is gold.

[@TheodoricFriede]

So will we finally learn what that long beep was in that replay with Ben Reeves? Edit: My god, I forgot the chemistry that crew had with one another on camera. I miss Tim Turi as an online personality.

[@mathewm6294]

Hey guys, I'm so glad you all are doing this. I first subscribed in 2001, and my best GI memories are from those 6th generation days. When Justin, Lisa, Chad, were still there and Peter Molyneux still had some credibility. I bought Fable based on that Fable preview issue, and I promptly forgot all about "planting a seed and watching a tree grow" as soon as i got my hands on that game.

[@jonmurphy4889]

Awesome seeing the old crew

[@mattyt1me]

This coverage has been a bright spot of this terribly sucky thing -- thank you!

[@KB92]

“Furnace scared stupid” - thank you

[@spencerbotine9802]

I literally did not recognize Dan when he first sits down next to Joe and burps, lol

[@popltree2]

You're telling me that Bad Venison didn't make the cut?! Unbelievable.

[@Nicketh94]

Unpopular opinion. That GameInformer Minute was good and I would have loved to watch that.

[@gooseberry7222]

Here for the celebration!!! 33 years!!!

[@Pietowndude]

Tim Turi might be one of the most effortlessly funny guys ever

[@PhoenixWrightfan101]

I love this so much! So many good memories from this era. Thank you for uploading them (though im pretty sure a couple snuck their way onto old vids in audio only versions 😉)

[@marcgalvan9360]

the old crew 😭

[@HalloweenSurfboard]

I still have my Gameinformer collection that I started back as a kid. Kept my GameStop membership alive for far too long in hopes that my meager solo year subscription could be that little bit of support this team needed. I’ve watched more hours of Replay and Super Replay then most Tv shows of the last couple decades. Thankyou to Hanson and the rest of the Minnmax crew for keeping this legacy alive!

[@SkullfaceTalks]

I don't know what your talking about when you say weird and inappropriate, they still play "Bad Venison" in my hometown in Russia all the time. Get with the times Ben....

[@TangoAlphaLima]

Tim & Ben got super close to inventing Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers around the 7 minute mark.

[@OrielFilms]

wow, Tim with the obscure Ameircan Movie quotes. Amazing lol

[@Delneiato]

What did Reeves say that one time?!

[@minnmax]

We're taking that to our grave.

[@imeanleafeon]

LMAO i was hoping that would finally be unearthed here 😭

[@natem1188]

@@imeanleafeon Much like how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know

[@JohnBMarti]

This video reminded me how much I miss seeing Tim in videos...

[@instagritsinbound]

This is what the internet needs more of.

[@666musicman]

oh my god i remember the tim turi psp clips thing because someone (i think dan) made a blog post specifically being like "everyone has to see how many flubs there were on this" WOW

[@nothingnowherenobody]

Release the ride to hell livestream

[@terrencevitali]

Oh, wowwww I had no idea this is why I say "Battleblock Theatre" like that. There's a Tim Turi in all of us.

[@nottherocketman]

Great work Ben. And way to go, surviving all those years with Dan : )

[@ExitPlanetDust]

holy shit ben reeves with the rizz on the 2 ladies who were attacked by dogs :)

[@alexixeno4223]

and legend they did become.

[@Chandlest]

Less bearded cork is so weird.

[@Earthvisitor666]

My god. The part with JeffM. Younger. Still the same. Love the guy.

[@nintendad8168]

i really like seeing dan no beard and hair holy he looks so different 😂

[@sincerlyeric6585]

Love the Dan disclaimer. I love to have seen his growth over the years.......... and then i remember he had a fracture this year from going into a bathtub full of mac and cheeseeee. 😅

[@casperphooey]

9:50 I'm dead 💀💀

[@AssaulteedOne]

18:19 - this should have been the Ad campaign for the PSP GO hahaha

[@hazalmohammed]

Who knew the PSP Go was $24.99?

[@DamTheKid]

12:45 dudes been on camera the whole time but feels obligated to reintroduce himself. Consummate youtube host ladies and gentlemen

[@eduardoavai]

Street comedy!

[@miguelb5661]

This was gold

[@philzillatheazn6890]

I enjoyed seeing that GI minute pilot in particular. I always wished there was more integration like that. Also, ben has such a light in his eyes...lol

[@stever8574]

Darth Clark approves

[@PretendingToListen]

what are they gonna do, sue you?

[@jonathananderson5135]

Well, that was surreal.

[@connorfrew9743]

🥰 bitchfield 🥰

[@gooseberry7222]

And people wonder why the video game industry has no women lol who wants to work with this?

[@SkullfaceTalks]

That makes absolutely no sense and you can see quite alot of GI and minmaxs staff are female.

[@seth7529]

As I see 4 women in a clip from their office 10 years ago, yea this comment doesnt make sense

[@CrAzYpotpie]

​@@seth7529Even if there was no women on their staff ever, what about this video would make them say this? Where was anything even remotely offensive?

[@mooks4751]

"this is us recording it in the old MinnMax office..." Ben's too close, no one tell him that he left Game Informer and started MinnMax, it might break him 🥲

[@Crash-lm4zb]

Is this where we finally learn what forbidden words Reeves said late in the Overblood 2 super replay?!?
