Mario's Minute 101 - Mixtape is as Good as Forza Horizon 6?

Mostly a single topic episode here, talking about reactions as well as my thoughts to the recently released game Mixtape. This indie game dropped to incredibly high accolades, with the most notable one being IGN's 10/10 review of it. The same month as Forza Horizon 6 releasing, which also got 10/10 ratings across the board, including from IGN! Is the game that good? Is the review system broken? Well... I guess we have a lot to discuss here about it!

Mario's Minute 100 - We made it to 100 episodes! Let's talk about this podcast's origins.

We're going meta for this episode of Mario's Minute! No, not Meta, I mean meta. I didn't ever think we'd get to 100 episodes, not even anywhere close, but here we are! That alone is worth talking about, so that's a large chunk of this episode. This also features a baby squirrel, performative gaming, an alcohol infused game store story, and lots of Grand Theft Auto III.

Mario's Minute 096 - You Will Own Nothing and Like It

For the final episode of Mario's Minute for 2025, we discuss what's been happening in the world of tech that has been and will continue to impact our real world.
