Note - This episode originally aired in July 2024. I've decided to add all Bonus Round episodes to the main feed, sequentially and on a 14-month delay, so that EVERYONE can enjoy these fun, classic gaming banter sessions.
Patrons will still get NEW Bonus Round episodes every month. Bonus Round 46.5 just went live a few days ago, so if you'd like to catch up, head over to Patreon and support the show at the Fire Flower level or higher.

Hey Retro Fire Flowers, welcome back to Bonus Round!
These monthly podcast episodes are Patreon Exclusives and available at the Fire Flower level of support or higher. Each month, my guest and I will put together some sort of list, ranking, or otherwise fun conversation, usually related to that month's main episode. These wil be released on the 28th of each month, and hopefully will be the dessert you've been missing after the main course episode two weeks earlier!
This month's episode on Number None's Xbox Live Arcade game, Braid, had me thinking about what the best XBLA games of all time were, so Jason and I put together a list of our favorites for you.
What are YOUR favorite XBLA games? Bring your thoughts to Discord and talk about 'em all! There's a dedicated channel for it now!
