Millennium Edition is an original podcast from the Sound Stone Network covering the GameCube, Dreamcast, and other games from the late 90s and 2000s. Join writer, teacher, and podcaster Sean Douglass, along with co-producers Gooey Fame and Darren Hupke, as they explore topics in video games from this turn-of-the-millennium period. Rather than being purely a retrospective, Millennium Edition focuses on what makes the games of this time still so relevant and current today. And along with celebrating the creativity of Nintendo and SEGA at the time, the show also explores the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and other consoles of this time period, including handhelds.


The new millennium was a unique time for video games. Graphical leaps led to new levels of resolution and fidelity, with games that showed off advanced water and lighting effects and detailed character models. Innovations like wireless WaveBird controllers and console internet connectivity changed the way people played, and with gaming in the third dimension no longer in its infancy, developers found ways to offer more polished and refined 3D experiences. Despite their age, the games of this era have aged particularly well and remain in high demand. The timelessness of these games, and this hopeful, playful technological landscape of the late 90s and early 2000s, is what this show is all about.


If you're a Nintendo or SEGA fan still enjoying the GameCube or Dreamcast today, or if you're someone just discovering games of this period for the first time, we hope Millennium Edition will be a fun and nuanced look back at a time that today feels both comfortingly nostalgic and surprisingly modern all at once.

  • I Don't Know Jak (And Daxter)

    I Don't Know Jak (And Daxter)
    2026/09/11

    For this episode, Sean and Darren are discussing Jak and Daxter, Naughty Dog's groundbreaking PS2 platformer. While Darren played and loved the game upon its initial release in 2001, Sean is just playing it for the first time. While the game's production values may still be impressive today, does it still leave the same kind of first impression that it once did 25 years later? This won't be a full deep-dive into the game, and Sean is just starting to get his feet wet on the shores of Sentinel Beach, but it's still an opportunity for them to compare their experiences and for Darren to share stories from his many years of history with the game. They also discuss the other 3D platformers that left an influence on them and ask, if Daxter is an ottsel, does that mean otters and weasels also exist in Jak and Daxter's world?

  • Why 1080° Avalanche Is Still One of the Best Snowboard Racing Games

    Why 1080° Avalanche Is Still One of the Best Snowboard Racing Games
    2026/08/28

    Dozens of snowboarding games came out in the 2000s, with some months seeing three or four new titles all launching within days of each other. Developers had to work to find their own unique angles on the sport, whether it was the gravity-defying tricks of the fantastic SSX series, the freestyle snowboarding of the Amped series, or even the Tony Hawk-adjacent Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder. With so many games to choose from, a game that may have slid under some players' radars is Nintendo's own 1080° Avalanche. Gooey is back in the hosting seat for this episode, joined by McKenna and Sean, as they break down the history and development of this successor to the Nintendo 64 classic 1080° Snowboarding.


    A sort of cousin to Wave Race: Blue Storm (it's even called 1080° Silverstorm in Japan), Avalanche builds on its Nintendo 64 predecessor with a variety of new modes and gameplay twists. And while it may not have the more robust trick system or longer single-player campaigns of the SSX series, with immersive environmental effects and a wild sense of speed, it may be one of the best of the era when it comes to intense snowboard racing.
