<blockquote><p>350! That is a lot of episodes! We thank you for sticking with us through so many years in order to reach this vaunted number.</p>
<p>And to commemorate this historic occasion, we are covering a long-overdue topic: Crash Bandicoot. Back in the 1990s, every console simply had to have its own mascot platformer, and for a few years there it looked like Crash might become the face of Sony the way Mario and Sonic repped Nintendo and Sega. Things didn&#8217;t quite turn out that way, but Crash certainly got a few years in the spotlight, and guests Stuart Gipp and Digital Foundry&#8217;s John Linneman argue that he was worthy.</p>
