You're doing the lord's work. I tried reading this after listening to the I Don't Even Own A Television & 372 Pages podcasts but gave up 3/4 of the way in. So not only does this chucklefuck drive that eyesore but he also deliberately goes over the speed limit just so he can get pulled over and written a ticket for doing 88mph. Also with the movie coming out the latest copies of the book are being sold with this cover  leeeeeeegs

Yeah, more and more people are spending increasing amounts of time in this immersive simulation to the detriment of their real lives but it's been *medically proven* to not be addictive, guys.

Vice president of OASIS, actually but I don't we've gotten to the bit that covers this. And if Wade's reaction to this recent destructive event annoys you, just wait a bit. Oh, just wait.

I'm wondering if they kept in Aech's trademark "Cheshire grin" and what it'd look like on a face like that. Also wondering: why. Why, god, why.

It's weird but when Cline describes his super-cuzstomized Delorean all I can think of is the car Homer Simpson designed for his half-brother's company Just a Frankensteinian mishmash of "Cool" things thrown together with no thought for how it all looks together. I wonder why an entire planet used for schools is prohibited from PVP while a popular social zone isn't. Just seems inconsistent. And I hate everything that's been in the last two posts. At least that's consistent.

Oh dear, is the music of the popular English group WHAM! not to your tastes, Mr Watched Every Episode Of Family Ties Multiple Times? Oh and all that other stuff, been waiting for that to pop up. I'm sure all the die hard RP1 fans will riot if the movie Wade doesn't suddenly start looking like the Engineer from Prometheus.

So basically it could have been a good book if someone else wrote it. I could get behind that. Going back to something else, we're told IOI getting control of the Oasis would be bad because they would charge lots of money for everything, as opposed to the current situation where everything costs lots of money... ?

It's been said elsewhere I think, but in a VR system where your most basic level of interaction is with a helmet and gloves, making the player traverse distances by walking is a loving terrible idea.

If only you'd written that while 372 Pages was covering this, you could have been featured in their "Real Or Fanfiction" segment.

I saw an AMA on reddit a while back and you cannot imagine my surprise and disbelief that Ernest Cline actually had an editor.

I'm assuming it involves Drizzt somehow. Having Wade think people look like their avatar and then being surprised/angry that they do/don't look like their avatar would make less sense in the movie where pretty much nobody resembles their avatar. You've got people going around as Spartans and Overwatch characters, Art3mis is a pixie girl, even Wade himself is an Anime.

So that's the climax of what's been called "Willy Wonka Meets The Matrix." Hmm yes, I can see the resemblance if neither Neo or Charlie needed to have a profound moment of understanding or demonstrate their quality of character, just straight up given their reward, no questions asked. Someone else took a stab at "Ready Player One But For Girls" https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/excerpts-from-my-upcoming-novel-ready-player-two-girl-stuff

Of course she'd say he's ugly, as of that moment he's pale, completely hairless and I doubt those ear wounds have had time to heal up fully. I'm surprised her first words meeting him weren't "Jesus christ, Jesus loving christ."

You know it would have been nice to know what songs and poems Wade learned about kissing from. What year were they? Were they in the Almanac? When did he find the time to study them in between marathon sessions of Joust and Family Ties? Don't get coy with your references now, Ernie!

Every time someone talks about the movie I learn something new about how terrible it is.
