Episode 189: Xbox 360, Twenty Years On
In 2005, Microsoft launched their second console, the Xbox 360. It proved to be a runaway success, finally establishing them as a major player in the console game. Boasting PC-like graphics, a robust online network, and massive third-party and indie support, it was a must-have system. We look back on its legacy here. Panel: Brian, Veronica, Spencer

Episode 192: The Industry Needs An Intervention
​It's not a theory or trend anymore: the video game industry is broken. From tens of thousands of layoffs, to AI slop, to focusing on money above all else, it's clear that the industry needs some correction. But how? EDGE Magazine asked their industry contacts and published some two dozen or so replies in their February 2025 issue. We go through some and give our own opinions. Panel: Brian, Veronica
