Co-op Mode podcast @Co_opMode_pod - do you think we will see project xcloud coming to TVs through smart TV apps or a streaming device that supports Bluetooth controllers? Or do you think the only way to use game pass on TV will still be an Xbox console?

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - Congratulations on 150 episodes. Here are my questions: Any last minute predictions for the Xbox Showcase? What kind of t-shirt(s) do you think Phil Spencer will wear during the showcase? What are your preferred snacks to have while playing games?

Zachary Davis @zacterium - Do you think we'll see a licensed game from a first-party studio, similar to Marvel's Spider-Man on PlayStation? If so, what IP?
