Before the original Xbox was released, Blink-182 encouraged its creator to drink a bottle of champagne.
This is the 20th anniversary of Xbox, and what better way to celebrate than looking back at its legendary moments. On Monday, Xbox father Seamus Blackley revealed that the rock band Blink-182 encouraged him to drink a bottle of champagne at the E3 2001 After Party.
Blakely said the punk rock band known for releasing hits like "All The Small Things" and "I Miss You" encouraged him to "in a friendly way" after introducing them to attendees at an exclusive Xbox event. "This is called iParty. In a previous tweet, he reposted a photo of a metal iParty ticket dated May 17, 2001-one month earlier than the current E3 time-he mentioned that he was happy to appear on social media Dare to challenge before. If a photo of him drinking a whole bottle of champagne at a company party appears on Facebook or Twitter, who knows what will happen to his career?

The original Xbox console was launched on November 15, 2001, almost six months after a sudden miracle of Blakely's own. To commemorate this milestone, Microsoft will host a live broadcast with the theme of the anniversary. It will not announce any new Xbox games, but it will "specially review the 20 years of Xbox."
In any case, Xbox has many upcoming games this year. Age of Empires 4 will be released on Thursday, followed by Forza Horizon 5 on November 9, the annual game edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and finally Halo Infinity on December 8.
