In this connection, you can meet up with fellow student gamers who want to see how playing video games at home got their start. We will meet weekly and play some classic games from the Atari age like Asteroids and Centipede; games from the Sega consoles like Sonic the Hedgehog; and some greats from the Nintendo Entertainment System like the legend of Zelda. In our meetings, we will also discuss transitional topics related to life at UC Davis.

With earbuds in, listening to podcasts is a solitary experience. How many times has a podcast made you stop in your tracks, laugh out loud, or even cry, making you wish you had someone to share the experience with? The (insert Connection name) is brining podcast listeners together to talk about that great thing you just heard. Join us in a space for podcast enthusiasts to unplug, connect with one another around the best podcasts in our feeds, and discover new ones. Each week we will focus on a new theme and we’ll announce a different podcast or episode for our IRL discussion. Come with recommendations of what we should listen to and discuss next based on upcoming weekly themes.
