TSG Show: Ep 100 – TSG’s Non-Sports Game of 2017

T.J. Lauerman December 11, 2017 Comments Off

With awards season here, I figured this would be a great time to bring back ThatSportsGamer Show so that we could get a little bit more in depth than a blog post for some of the rewards.

Also, doing some number crunching, and depending on how you count, this is either episode 95, 100, or like 107 of ThatSportsGamer Show. Since it’s a fresh start, let’s just call this our 100th episode!!! My funky math gets us here by having 94 episodes, and 5 “Hit & Run” episodes.

So, without further ado, my selection for Non-Sports Game of the Year for 2017 is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). PUBG is a battle royale game, where 100 players are dropped onto an island, and battle it out to be the last man, or woman, standing.

For this episode I decided to bring on a few folks that I play a lot of PUBG with, SnaggleJ, Hope, and JayOh. We talk about some of our experiences with the game, our tips for new players, and discuss why this game has struck a cord with us.

Special thanks to Chris Beck for our outro music.
