Division 2 Beta Thoughts & Apex Legends Taking Over? - Third Player Games (Ep. 63)

Third Player Games: A Video Game Podcast

Hey everyone, full disclosure before you listen or watch the episode:

Let me start off by saying that Josh Amy and myself love the podcast and work very hard. Lately we have had some bad luck with small issues. It looks like there might be another this week, the audio on Josh and Amy's side is not up the normal standard. Seems their recording software may have pulled from a less than ideal audio device. We're really sorry guys, it might seem like we are getting sloppy but it's quite the opposite, we really are vigilant and working hard. I hope this is the last time I'll have to announce something like this for a long time.From here on out we are putting special measures in to make sure everything goes smoothly. Apologies again everyone but we hope you still enjoy the episode. As always thank you for all the support.

On the 63rd episode of Third Player Games Podcast, the gang gets a bit lazy! Just kidding. We decided to have you the fans pick what we would talk about during our rotating segment this week and you did not disappoint!
