As most gamers know, video gaming doesn’t have to be a solitary activity. Long-la𝔉sting friendships can be forged with people from all around the world, but can love blossom from behind the headset?
That’s the conceit behind the new HBO Max series Happily Ever Avatar. For 12 episodes, the docuseries follows couples who fell in love virtually through video games without meeting in person. Each relationship is put to the test as they encounter each other for the f𒐪irst time, fight with insecurities, and struggle with long-distance relationships.
Three couples are profiled over the course of the show. Amadeus and Karoline met while playing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elder Scrolls Online. They found common ground through their Latin heritage and started to date🐷 virtually. Amadeus wants to finally meet Karoline in person and has considered traveling from Texas to Connecticut to see her.
Jake and Chelsea met one another playing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:World of Warcraft. They originally disliked one another, but after an all-night raid, got to know each other better, and never stopped talking. The two eventually became a couple without ever meeting in real life. Then, Jason’s California job relocates him to Kansas and Chelsea chooses to follow him. She’s lonely and has difficulty adjusting, while Jake is fine with his crew of online friends. The two still claim they want to be together forever, however, Chelse🦋a may be ready to make that permanent.
Nick and Tony met at a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:League of Legends gaming tournament where their teams played against one another, and Nick eventually scored a date with Tony, who incorrectly thought Nick was straight. N🔯ick plans on asking Tony to move in with him, but Tony has trust issues that may put the brakes on that idea.
In a world where social distancing guidelines have stunted many people’s romantic lives, these couples appear to have been made for a quarantine. It’s interesting to examine these types of online relationships, where connections are largely made through talk, text, and the occasional photo. There may something to be learned from these individuals, whose love may feel a bit sudden after a few hours of Fortnite. Happily Ever Avatar will reveal who 💜can ultimately stand the test of real life.
