Did you know there's a Ready Player Two now?

It's an actual novel turned into an actual movie, which got a sequel book.

You think the wiki is still locked?

Its basically Indiana Jones but in a VR simulation and everyone is obsessed with the 1980s because some dead autistic guy who loved 80s media and pop culture left a bunch of challenges buried in his simulation and if you solve all of them you win like 50 billion dollars.

Its actually a pretty good book. Its not just 'lol im a big nerd and that's cool.' That part about all his research is him explaining just how much of an asocial faggot he is and trying to show how seriously he's taking the stupid premise of the contest. Also, Aech is a black chick who masquerades as a white guy online and Art3mis is almost certainly an sjw feminist. Movie is trash though.

Judging a book by reading a couple cherry-picked paragraphs makes you just as big a faggot as judging a game based on three screenshots of the game and three minutes of gameplay footage recorded on a flip phone

>Movie is trash though.
Explain, what does the movie do wrong compared to the book?

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion the author is a member of the tribe?

I dunno about the author (I think it was something like Ernest Cline, I don't remember), but the movie came from Steven Spielberg.

So it's basically Game Center DX the novel?

You’re a fag

It is almost completely different. Misses a lot of neat little bits, completely changes the challenges in the contest and how they are solved. Also changes almost every single plot point and how it plays out. I think they assumed that a movie where the main character basically never leaves his room or interacts with anyone for half the movie wouldn't be that engaging.

I don't get the whole 80's fetish thing. It was a pretty dreary and shit time for a lot of people. The freewheeling Clinton era 90's were much more fun.

Its because the guy who made the game was autistically focused on the 80s, to the point where he would fire people from his company if they didn't get his obscure 80s references. That's literally the only reason. Well, that and because the 80s were still goofy and over the top, while the 90s started getting up its own ass about gritty realism

It's Eltingville if it was written by Bill and he made himself the hero.

I remember enjoying this book when it came out

How...why?

80s consoles almost never supported more than 2 players.
What are they going to call the 3rd one?

>Its actually a pretty good book.
fucking kek

you are legitimately an unintelligent faggot.

Havent seen any of this shit in first book i think

Read for you by Wil Wheaton.

War and Peace of the current year

Could go either way with him. Cline is a jewname, but its also a Scottish one, and he has red in his beard.

did you read it? I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. The characters are actually likeable and the story is interesting and entertaining.

Says the illiterate incest baby

Does the sequel have fuckhuge reference dumps too?

The movie adaptation of RPO stripped out a lot of the worst bullshit. And naturally, RPT completely ingnores the film adaptation and undermines all the good changes the film made to Halliday's character. The idea of Halliday making a headset that makes the OASIS 'real' so you have can sex as any gender kinda flies into the face of his parting words to Wayde in the movie. The whole point of RPO the movie was that Halliday came to understand the importance of separating reality and fantasy. And the easter egg hunt played a role in that.

I feel like authors should be willing to admit when others do a better job. Like how the later Roger Rabbit books adopted ideas from the incredibly unfaithful Who Framed Roger Rabbit movie. Because they were good ideas.

lmfao what is this shit

>I feel like authors should be willing to admit when others do a better job.
Autists don't like it when others play with their toys. Look at what happened to nu-Star Wars as Rian and JJ fight over the trilogy like children.

Would you read it?

I remember RPO being pretty cringe when it came to religion. The film took all that stuff out, but Wayde was an insufferable atheist and likely a reflection of the book's author.
