Rkern @rkern: A couple questions:

Any idea on a release date for MS Flight Sim?

Prediction of XCloud ever appearing on Nintendo Switch (that would be amazeballs to me)

I just bought the @SteelSeries Pros because @NintendoDads and you seem to react positively to them. I hope I love them.

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas: Hope you folks are doing okay. My Question is: PlayStation is currently giving everyone two free games to help people stay inside during this pandemic. If Microsoft were to do something similar, what two games do you think Microsoft could give away to help people stay entertained?

Skele-Phil @PhillipBrannon4: Hey not really a question... just wanted to say I finally picked up Dark Souls remastered from the recent sale... are you guys fans of it...Ive always been an admirer and must say I am in love with the game!

Garret BlandExplosion @BlandExplosion: Microsoft does not focus on the very young age demographic. Do you think they need to improve that at all? What kind of features and/or hardware that needs to be in place to make that happen? Certain controllers? A kids UI? A focus on games for young kids?

Nathan Thomas @VoicedByNathan: Hey friends! No questions, just wishing you and your families well!

TimA! @neoprime33: If you could have one game you don't have to help you through the rest of quarantine, what would it be? You get to pick one dream option and one realistic. Go...

Tim Paullin @tpaullin20: I'm wondering if the Series X will be delayed until 2021 Q1. If you were me, would you trade my S off for an X or wait until fall?

What’s up everybody? Ryan Turford here and welcome to The Extra Mile! This is the tag-along podcast to The Xbox Drive as we dive deep into the games and services you care about most. On this episode, Ryan tries to escape the clutches of Nemesis in Resident Evil 3!

Questions:

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas: Who's scarier, Nemesis or Mr. X? And does having Nemesis chasing you while you are trying to do your objectives get annoying after a while?

Eric Green @TheArtofBacon: Is it just me? Or is the length just about perfect?

Mr Moody @MrGloriousOne: What is your go-to relax game to play? For me, it's Codemasters’ F1 game just chilling driving around is just so good.

Chris Berto @SGTBones_: Hey Sean Capri, it's MEEEEEEE, Chris Berto. How about a birthday shout out on your Xbox Podcast?! Xbox Question: Besides Halo and presumably Forza 72, what is one exclusive you want Microsoft to announce as a day 1 release on the series X to help move units?

Edward Varnell @theretrocode: What could be the next first party game to make history for Xbox?

Jason C @JCarpingAbout: What do you all want to see in the new Halo game? Also, what old IP would you like to remade/rebooted in the upcoming generation?

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas: So that new PS5 controller. So now that we seen both the Series X controller and PS5 controller, which do you want to get your hands on more?

Nerd Chef @BasicExp: Will the additional features on the PS5 controller make an impact on where people will want to play there games?

todd oxtra @toxtra: Who would you think would be a great Spokesperson/talking head for Playstation? It can be anyone in their stable, past, present or someone outside the company.

Egg.Shen @eggshen8: Do you have a series 2 elite controller? If so, do you wish you had the upcoming series x controller share button? I was think about pulling the trigger and buying one this week in a ‘treat yo self’ quarantine move, but I am really on the fence if I should wait.

Egg.Shen via Discord: Just downloaded Ori 2 from Game Pass. Do you recommend playing through the first installment before I play Ori 2? I heard the 2nd is so much better but I don’t like skipping through a good story (if there is one).

Todd Oxtra @toxtra: After hearing Ryan say he was playing Buffy, I found out it's not BC on Xbox One. What are the games you want BC, but are no longer? Do Licensing rights/publisher deals make BC the biggest future concern? Only 39 OG XBox and only half of the 360 games are BC on Xbox1

Mr. Moody @MrGloriousOne: No question, just a thank you for consistently been a positive force out there during these trying times. Thank you and the entire team and community.

todd oxtra @toxtra: Is the Xbox One X the safe play for an affordable option for the next few years and wait until the next Xbox Series iteration comes that's even better than the Series X? How many years do you think the One X has left? I've seen it new/recertified for $200 - $250 lately.

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas: Do you guys have any thoughts on GameStop/EBGames trying to stay open during these lockdowns, even though they are not an essential business?

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas: What should gamers do during the quarantine, beat the main story of multiple smaller games (Resident Evil 2, DMCV, Portal, etc.) on their backlog or try to 100% a massive game (The Witcher 3, GTAs, Assassin's Creeds, etc.) from a backlog?

Alex Van Aken @itsVanAken: Are you in quarantine or just pooping? Question: what are you thoughts on Bleeding Edge launching this week in particular? Will stay-at-home be a boon for the game, or are DOOM and Animal Crossing still too big of a distraction?

SGT Bones @SGTBones_: I am almost 100% positive this has been asked, but if not, let's speculate. Does the rampant spread of COVID-19 derail the release of Series X/PS5 as factories are possibly shut down, and IF so, where do MS/Sony pivot their release windows to?
