It seems each week there is a "milestone" anniversary of some sort for a gaming system or game franchise.

This week was the 15th anniversary of the release of the original Microsoft Xbox along with the "system seller" Halo franchise. We spend the first part of this episode reminiscing about our Xbox experiences and more retro game discussion.

Also realized after recording it was the 15th anniversary of the Nintendo Gamecube which we discuss on the next episode so stay tuned for that.
