Ready Player 1 assignment: - The game I played was Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. The only difference between the two were UI changes and more map selection. Also, the new game included a new story line. Avatar: How are they different from their real life character? - We interviewed player bestatnick, he said: “My in-game character was a girl and I am a guy in real-life. I choose female avatars because the female characters are smaller, so they are harder to get hit in the game. - My avatar was tall, skinny, and lean to resemble my own physical characteristics.

When we started watching Interstellar, I had mixed opinions. For one, I love Anne Hathaway ever since I saw her in The Devil Wears Prada, so I was excited to see her acting in a science fiction film. On the other hand, I'm not the biggest fan of Matthew McConaughey, since I don't like when celebrities try to enter politics. However, when researching the movie before we started watching it, I found out that he is a fellow Scorpio and thought I should have a little bit more of an open mind above this movie and the main protagonist in it.
