Welcome to another Weekend at Dave's! In this packed episode (recorded Saturday, August 17, 2019), I start by discussing the value of Xbox Game Pass and how it fits into Microsoft's "Play Anywhere" mission. Things then get a bit more introspective, as I share my personal backlog "keys" to preparing for fall 2019's biggest releases. To end, I talk about my experiences playing a title I recently checked off the to-do list: Remedy Games' Quantum Break.

Tune in below!

(Correction #1: During the episode, I accidentally refer to Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon as Luigi's Mansion: Dark Side of the Moon. I didn't like that Transformers movie, I swear, and apologize for the error.)

(Correction #2: Ironically, while I correctly identify the upcoming The Outer Worlds as an Xbox Game Pass title, I somehow overlook the fact that Gears 5 -- aka Microsoft's biggest exclusive of the year -- is also being included as part of the service. Duh. Needless to say, I'll be picking this one up on day one, because it'll be "free"!)
