Rick and Ashley are brother and sister who have an admiration for playing video games. Over the summer, Ashley developed a love for video games when she could not leave the house when her big sister, Sam gave her the laptop, which her big sister didn’t need anymore since she got the Surface Pro 7 to work and play. Meanwhile, Rick mostly plays on his Samsung phone and Chromebook. He has a love for exploring freely in Minecraft and being free of games without in-app purchases occasionally. Rick has a love for exploring, meanwhile Ashley loves playing on her comfy chair in the living room, with little to no love for going outside. One day, Rick won a Reddit contest of getting the E3 tickets and they were two of them. E3 is a video game convention where geeks and players gather to learn about the newest games and consoles. He never went to an E3 convention before and wants to make the best of it. The thing that got him more intrigued was the contest for the first 100 guests who come, will win the Nintendo Switch. Ashley didn’t want to go with him but had a changed when she heard about the contest. She thought of trying to snatch the Switch from him by waking up earlier than him and be one of the first one hundred guests. The two packed their bags and flew to Los Angeles for the convention. During the flight to Los Angeles, the plane crashed to the ground. Luckily, everybody survived the crash with minimal injuries but now Rick and Ashley had no way of getting to the convention and it was in 5 days. Rick started to panic because he would not make it to Los Angeles to set him and Ashley up before going to E3. Both were stuck in a forest in the middle of Nebraska. Rick wanted to give up and forget the contest, but Ashley came up with an idea to walk to LA. The two trekked from the woody forest of Nebraska to hot and steamy Las Vegas, Nevada and finally to Los Angeles, California for four days and just in time for E3. After the long trek, Ashley forgot about her sneaky plan and was glad that the two bonded over their love of video games during the long walk. For the first time in forever, Ashley loved going outdoors again. The siblings got there to the E3 convention on time and were part of the first 100 people and won the Switch contest.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
