Game of the Year Roundtable: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Jan 12, 2018

Show notes

Our Game of the Year Roundtable podcast series is a series of 10 shows with a member of IrrationalPassions.com hosting a roundtable discussion with a variety of guests from independent outlets, blogs, and channels having a conversation about 10 games from 2017 that really stood out. These 10 games aren’t reflective of Irrational Passion’s top 10 games of 2017, just 10 games we thought were very special, and wanted to talk about.

In this final roundtable discussion, recorded a bit last minute, Alex picks the brains of his panelists as to why PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has grown to be the phenomenon it is, where it came from, and how it shook us to our core.

Your panelists are:

Roger Pokorny - @rogformer

Dustin Furman - @DustinCanFly - Proprietor of Handsome Phantom and Host of Adventure Mode Podcast

Cameron Abbott - @Unsexiestcomedy - Host of Knotty Gamers Podcast
