About this episode
In 2025, the Xbox 360 quietly passed its 20th Anniversary, and it got us thinking about just how much that console shaped our gaming lives. From sprawling RPGs and genre-defining shooters to late-night multiplayer sessions and games that soundtracked entire friendships, the 360 era hit differently.
Dan and Coleman take a trip back to Microsoft's most influential console, digging into the games they loved playing on it and why those experiences have stuck around long after the discs stopped spinning.
Editor's note: We're all on our Christmas/New Year break until next year, but we've left you with a handful of special shows to keep you company while we're gone. See you next week.
