Amy Liang gives a Brown Bag talk at the Games Institute
Starting in 2018, the Power Trip began holding Initials Game Majors multiple times per year. The Majors take place at a live appearance of the show. The primary differences between the regular Initials Game and a Major are: 1. A rube is picked at random to participate in the Major; 2. 10 1 slope field sap calculus equation. Each round has a different set of Initials. Bobby V (Rube) from Oakdale, MN, 19 years old who works at Hyvee, was the Rube that got to play in the first ever Major! Sauce: 'I have more to my life then this game.'
