Arcade Sidebar: Rocket League

The Arcade Sidebar will be a recurring feature where the audience is transported into the minds of true connoisseurs of the video gaming world–these experts happen to be a part of our very own student body. A new addition to this series finds our protagonists in the arenas of Rocket League, where they must play… soccar?

In Rocket League, two teams of players go head to head a game of soccer with a twist: they control rocket cars. The cars have the ability to boost, allowing players to move faster, fly in the air, and perform skillful maneuvers in order to defend and score. Obviously, Rocket League is a game that requires skill and accuracy to play—something that, sadly, not all of these players have. Watch the video to see which of our players take home the coveted soccar trophy, and which of them have a mental breakdown instead.
