Weekend at Dave’s: Episode 10 – 2023 Mid-Year Check-In & Fantasy Waiver Wire!
<br /> Happy July, folks! As the summer blazes on, what better way to avoid the heat than by cranking the A/C, kicking your feet up, and listening to some Weekend at Dave’s?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> We’ve got a stellar episode prepared for you. Following our <a href="https://punishedbacklog.com/2023-gaming-preview/">2023 Gaming Preview</a> episode, our editorial team here at The Punished Backlog is back with a mid-year check-in. What games have we enjoyed? What are our thoughts on 2023 thus far?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Perhaps most importantly, we’ll be recapping our <a href="https://punishedbacklog.com/category/blog-and-news/fantasy-gaming/">Fantasy Gaming</a> results up till now—and making some “waiver wire” selections based on the next six months. Just like the weather outside, our competition is heating up! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Catch the full episode here:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://punishedbacklog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Weekend-at-Daves-Episode-10-2023-Fantasy-Waiver-Wire-Extravaganza.mp3">MP3 Download</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0dobR0FNbdiJqJbnb3cSVP?si=kEK2OoSWS3qHPcHHeltQwA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weekend-at-daves-episode-10-2023-mid-year-check-in/id1687905668?i=1000621632549&itsct=podcast_box&itscg=30200&ls=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Podcasts</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Note: This episode was recorded on 6/26/23, before the releases of Oxenfree II: Lost Signals and Exoprimal.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Another note: Despite his comments to the contrary at 51:45, Sam too saw a score increase post-waiver wire (by dropping Fire Emblem: Engage). He and Amanda share the number-one Fantasy spot with 92.5 apiece.
