As the young man (played by Emile Hirsch) travels about, he attracts the interest of a South Dakota wheat farmer (Vince Vaughn, playingitstraight), an aging hippie (Catherine Keener), and a retired Army man living on the edge of the California desert (Hal Holbrook), all of whom ask him to put down his backpack and stay.
Rather, it just encourages players to be more active in their time NOT spent gaming (as walking and playing a handheld is a recipe for booking itstraight into oncoming traffic).
