Kieran M

what is the best Xbox (former) exclusive other than Halo?

Pickles!

How do the three of you feel you've grown since the Custer's Revenge episode with Joey Clift?

Ross McCarthy

Which model of Xbox looks like it tastes the best?

OneCarPileup

Is the original Xbox controller the worst (serious) controller? Do the black and White buttons need to make a return?

ryan mcgrath

With the cofounder of Xbox saying consoles will be sunsetted amid AI push I was wondering what you been weebing?

Soupy

If you could make your own dream Kinect game, what would it be?

wampireveekend

What would you pitch for a new Xbox that could stand out from its competitors and save the system?

Garren Glore

What do you think Xbox’s next move is with their next major piece of hardware? My off the wall prediction is they’ll move away from traditional consoles and instead sell Xbox branded PC’s

Deacon Raid

The Xbox controller buttons are labeled opposite of Nintendo layout (x/y and a/b). If this were standardized, what should they be?

Austin Brown

If Heather and Co could turn any everyday task into Combat what would it be?

Ernie Gonzalez

Do you think the Xbox will go the way of the Dodo?

sixwire

If Xbox ever does release another console, what do you think it will be called?

Ryan Doorley

Hey Get Played Gang! Xbox as a brand as of late is having an identity crisis. What would you do to fix that? Like a "chain rescue" type thing.

Michael Pemulis

The Xbox has the worst console names. For future consoles, what are your suggestions for even worse names?

Wyatt The Surgeon Rowe

Where do you *wish* Xbox had gone? I'll elaborate; We've seen them go hard on snatching studios, and essentially doing nothing -for a while at least- with them. Leading them to a solid 3rd place now, what would you do differently?

Frank

Why have I never owned an Xbox and why it seems I didn't miss much? 😐

Mirror B

Xbox popularized the achievement system that has been copied almost everywhere at this point. How do achievements/trophies and the like effect the way that you play games, and do you think that they're a net negative or positive for gaming.

UptownBobbi

Removing all emotion from the situation: What is Xbox’s role in the future of the “console trinity?” Gamepass has fallen severely compared to PS+, Xbox exclusives don’t stack up to PS, Nintendo has portability cornered, and the Ally is not as appealing as a Steam Deck. Is Xbox’s identity crisis solvable, and if so, how do you see this shaking out? What would you like to see?

XRedGambit

Ex-box has a name, frankly its degrading to call het that. What is her name and how are you going to apologize?

Sean

Are there any consoles you’ve bought games for just because you wanted to get value out if buying it? For example, after buying the Xbox one and feeling like I didn’t want any first party games, I ended up buying games like Witcher 3, Disco Elysium and MGS V just to get some use out of the console despite having other hardware I could have played those games on.

wonderswan

what is the best rpg on xbox?

notthetoilet

What Microsoft owned IP would you most like to see handed to a developer you trust?

Tyler Stepps

What game/IP would have saved the Kinect? Or made it more popular than the Wii

Danny

Master Chief has to be put into a different franchise. What game would be most improved with the inclusion of a spartan warrior?

Jeff Stacey

Every week on "whattya playin'" Nick is on a new game. Does he ever finish anything? Is he The Starter opposite Matt's The Finisher?

ask4seconds

With the infamous "This is an Xbox" marketing ploy being an absolute fail, if you were part of that marketing team; what crazy thing would you promote "is an Xbox" to double down on.

Papa B Poppin

What are your favorite XBLA Game memories 1. I spent a LOT of time on Shoot Many Robots and the Burnout Paradise demo - Also, owning a Zune, canonically Jimmy Eat World's Chase This Light album is the soundtrack to Crackdown 2. MvC2 is the greatest game ever and the XBLA release was life changing (got deep into stick modding with people all over the world) - SRK.com TeamTechTalk 4 Lyf And Heather - Open challenge for MvC2. Name the location and time :p (Got a confirmed fight against Kumail around when he guest hosted Attack of the Show but I never filled up there either xD)

Alex Chosid

My original XBOX was some Halo edition, which who cares, but it was transparent green, which owned bones. It feels like that was the last throes of the “colored clear consoles” until recent retro revivals like the limited Analogue Pockets. The question: why did we ever stop? That shit was sick.

SchniedelWutz

Do you remember that Xbox ad, where a baby was shot out of a woman's uterus and aged mid air to land in grave as an old man, or am I hallucinating again?

Will K.

I have always been a PlayStation guy, sometimes a Nintendo guy and more recently a PC/Steam guy, but have never owned an XBox. What have I been missing out on besides Halo and Gears?

Lady Thundersnow

The first time I ever played Skyrim was on an Xbox 360. Which makes me think of how we “ported it to a fridge.” If you could port your choice of a game to a ridiculous device, what would they be and why?

Arj

How do you feel about the Xbox controller design as opposed to e.g Sony or Nintendo controllers?

Bobby Cologne

One of the coolest features of the original Xbox was being able to rip CDs and use custom soundtracks in-game. I still remember exploring the lands of Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind while jamming out to Seether’s “Fine Again.” What were some of your favorite original Xbox features or accessories? Things like the four controller ports standard, the DVD playback dongle, System Link, etc.

KidKimura

If you were the new Xbox boss but were secretly a spy from Playstation, what would you do to tank the company?

Xcessive-Killah

I remember that commercial! They don’t make cool commercial like that anymore. Reminds me of the “Play it Loud” days of Nintendo.

Arj

What do you think team Xbox could have done over the years to have secured dominance in the market? Is there a niche they could have occupied or a market they could have targeted that could have given them a chance to compete with Sony /Nintendo in the long run?

Tom Emery

What's the best or weirdest thing thing you've seen a kinect used for?

Lu

Now mostly lost to time Xbox mascots, use to be plentiful. Who are your Xbox guys? (Gender neutral) halo CE Cortana was a real formative in my gender. Also I find it interesting Xbox never really did a mascot fighter.

Erratic Warlock

What are your fondest memories of the XBOX during its heyday of the 360 era? I remember staying up with my buddies until 4AM on Halo 3 testing out new forge maps that they created, and looking back it’s some of my greatest gaming memories

That Josh

I associate Xbox with drinking large quantities of gross soda while playing with friends. What soda do you pair with Xbox or any other console?

Juggerknotts

What Baldur's Gate 3 race and classes do you think each of the Xbox generations would be? Which one do you think would win in a fight?

Juggerknotts

Important follow up question: which one do you think you could win in a fight with?

Beef Steak Tomato

I loved the CD ripper on the original XBOX, and the ability to replace music in-game with tracks from your library. What is a feature or function you wish modern game consoles had, but that modern executives would never greenlight?

The Power Broker

Was not calling the XBox 360 the YBox the biggest mistake that Microsoft has ever made?

Eddarrd88

One of my favorite memories when I was a kid was driving across country with my parents - my dad would take out the middle seats of our van and put a tv/vcr combo in the back and cigarette plug adaptor to play my classic Xbox on the floor of the car. The only thing that sucked was the engine needed to be running to power the xbox, so when dad shut the car off without warning me, I would freak out! Do you have a 'travelling with a video game' memory?

Eddarrd88

Worst feeling in the world - accidently knocking over a friends Xbox 360 at a college dorm when it was standing on its side while playing guitar hero with a group - got the red ring of death and scratched up his guitar hero disc - i felt like a monster! What is your worst gaming mishap ?

Grant Prusi

If they rereleased “The Duke” controller as a limited run for modern Xbox hardware, would you buy one?

GeoSau

Apart from the fact there are iconic console exclusives on both, what do you think makes someone an Xbox kid as opposed to a PlayStation kid? I believe there is more to it than just games.

thehobknoblin

How would you streamline the naming scheme of the Xboxes (Xboxi?)? Even as an Xbox kid myself the pipeline is insane

ClockworkMoxie

Are there any companies you would like to see make a Microsoft-style jump into the console market?

Daniel Nash

With the price increases to the service, it seemed like Game Pass went overnight from being the greatest deal in gaming to a dud proposition. Is there anything else in gaming you can think of, where public opinion has turned 180 degrees?

Daniel Nash

Oh god, I forgot about that feature 😂 Iconic for the early ‘00s.

HoraceEarl

Hey get played squad! My question is simple, did you ever have Mountain Dew: Game Fuel that originally came out with the release of halo 3? (Or any other Xbox gimmick based junk food drops?) I had a whole 2 liter on the first day as a 13 year old kid and I think back about the horrible health choice as a child often. Thanks for such a great show!

Connor Dilk

Did you guys ever fuck with the Xbox 360 music visualizer?

Trev Head

Ok, in 1995s Toy Story, to get out of the clutches of Sid, Woody with the help of Sid’s mutilated toys, reveal that toys are sentient beings. Does this mean that collectively all toys have agreed not to reveal they are alive? How does that work? Is this monitored in any way to prevent mankind from finding out that toys are alive? Do toys have a soul? I don’t have a question about the xbox. canceled gamepass years ago. happy DDDDDDLLLLLLLLCCCCCCC

Mike Vertolli

Hey guys! For me, Xbox is the iconic 4-player couch co-op console. What are your favourite 4-player couch co-op games on the Xbox, on native 4-player hardware (ie no additional external hardware required), and with external hardware (eg multitap)?

Steven_pistachio

Is it possible that xbox was originally the AIM screen name of an emo teen named Bo? And if so- can you talk at length about the impact that xbox arcade had on indie game development and mainstream acceptance? Sincerely- xbox

Sexy Grandma's Retirement Home

360 red ring stories? I got my 360 about 6 months after launch. Over time the fan got so loud it was like having a jet engine in my room. I upgraded to an Elite model when they came out and gave my friend my old 360. Two weeks later it red ringed on him.

A Swol Monk

What is a game that was an xbox exclusive you wish had been available for other consoles at the time?

michael

pokemon infinite fusion?

Sugarbully

If you could trap a living being inside your Xbox Molyneux-style, what would you trap and why?

Robotoperator

Okay, for those with Game Pass- what’s your favorite game pass surprise? Meaning, a game you tried solely because it’s on game pass and you ended up loving it. I could never see myself playing Power wash simulator 2, but once I tried it, it was my go to post work chill game…

parenthesesONE

If this doesn't make the show, we riot.

parenthesesONE

In 2015 I bought a console with my own money for the first time. I was torn between ps4 and xbox one. I ultimately chose xbox because my friends were there. I now have both and caught up on the best ps games but I always wondered, what if I chose ps4? How would my life be different? Would I have become the biggest kill zone or infamous fan? Would i have saved millions on Xbox live? Would i have still shit my pants on the roof of that burger king new years eve 2017? What do you guys think? How would your life be different if you went the other way?

Ryan BTZ

The Xbox portable never happened (not counting the Ally X). If it did, what would be the best name for it and would it have saved Xbox?

Don Stone

It seems xbox is pivoting to game pass only. Will they ever make another Xbox? Do you even care if they do? I do not. And you can't spell do not, without Don. Which is me

Mike Vertolli

In hindsight, the N64 is really the iconic 4-player couch co-op console but I’ll just leave the question in. A better question might be: The Xbox is the iconic console for LAN parties (I’m thinking Halo with 8 people). What are your favourite LAN party games or experiences on the Xbox, in general?
