there's a great quote from Ursula Le Guin about how all the fawning praise Harry Potter got on release came from people who hadn't read a children's book for 20 years, had never read a fantasy or boarding school novel before, and thus thought all the tired cliches were actually original and interesting. RPO is basically the same thing but with "nerd culture" instead of childrens fantasy. it's "nerd culture" as imagined by people who think endless pop-culture references are really unique and clever. the glowing reviews were all from people who watched one episode of Big Bang Theory and didn't like it but assume you probably do because you like nerd poo poo right?

  That title screen looks a lot better than I remember anything being in the game. Lots of CGA and composite video tricks that didn't work well on our VGA monitor.

Had a roommate who did a book club like duo thing with a buddy of his and they would select some of the worst poo poo they could find and mail them to each other. They read Ready Player One and he would have to sit down and vent to me about how God awful it was once every couple of days. I at least got forewarning for the garbage show that it was and didn't get suckered into it by some dip poo poo recommending it to me.
