Who says games aren t educational? When I woke up this morning, I didn t know the Korean word for Red Zone. That s Red Zone as in, the randomly selected section of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds map that becomes an artillery test site for a time every few minutes, and Red Zone as in the roving death circle that you really don t want to be stuck inside.
Now, thanks to three helpful Korean guys placed on my team in PUBG s squad mode, I now know very well how to say Red Zone in Korean. My squadmates told me that I was standing slap bang in the middle of one during our game together, yelping the words repeatedly down their microphones as I sprinted across a snowfield, dodging howitzer shells in a dash to find cover.
