So is this poo poo like, parody or something? Or are there really enough broken brains out there for this to be unironic?

Son of Rodney posted:idgaf about goon consensus, the movie was entertaining and the idea of a super anti social nerd creating a game on the only thing important to him, his nerd hobbies, and an entire cult of people learning all about it to get his wealth is pretty funny and plausible Literally none of this is true or a good opinion. e:. I just... Can't get over how terrible, stupid, and wrong this post is on every level. Ugh. Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Nov 25, 2020 |

Heck, you might wanna set the flux capacitor back a little bit, since the book actually came out YESTERDAY! One more great segment, posted just to hook anybody who's on the fence. "I recognize these barrels. Wait a minute, I recognize these girders, too! Don't you see what's going on?" Wade looked alarmed. The sword from Lord of the Rings that glows blue when it senses orcs was glowing blue right now, which meant orcs must be nearby. But, sadly, nobody else seemed to get it. "Well," said Feivel from An American Tail, "I don't recognize it. What is it?" "No, of course you wouldn't. You never spent a minute of your life in an arcade, not like me. It's from Donkey Kong, the arcade game. We're in the game." "Oh no, does this mean we need to save the Princess?" "Not even close. Again, if you played the game, you'd know that we're saving PAULINE. Jeez, you're lucky you have me around to keep you safe!" Feivel prayed to his Jewish gods and thanked them for sending this great man to help him. He looked up at the top of the tower made of red girders. It reminded him of New York City, where he lived in the first movie but not the second one. In that one, he was in the old west.

It is the single most significant cultural milestone of the 21st century. Future generations will experience the late 20th and early 21st centuries through the lense of Ready Player One, Two and Three. In that distant future, the annotated version will have brief explanations and summaries for every work it references. For most of them, those annotations will survive long, long after all copies and digital records of the original text, film, or game have been lost.

"All the porn I've come across" These words would have to be written, like, at least 20 years ago to make any sense.

This isn't in there I'm pretty sure, because the character in that is obsessed with the possiiblity that his love interest might be a dude (and grossed out by it). Did a sequel actually come out?

I dunno really, I mostly just thought the title was a joke and we were going to post terrible quotes from the first book and that other one he did (which I've thankfully not read). I think this sequel is probably going to fall into the same category as that other book in not being nearly as fun to make fun of.

The only ones I know are fake are anything with Nintendo references because they would sue the poo poo out of Ernesto It actually makes it a pretty glaring omission in RP1

Doctor J Off posted:I read the first one on audiobook when I had an audible subscription because I was in the mood for something light and fun and it apparently got decent reviews (at least according to the quotes on the cover!). It was the worst book I've ever made it through, and I only did because I was out of credits and hate-listened to see how bad it would get. Sounds like you'd like to listen to the 372 pages we'll never get back podcast where rifftrax hosts reads and suffers through this awful awful book. Starts at episode zero.

I hope there will be more classic prog rock references. I thought RP1 was an excellent read for an airport/layover book. Not a literary masterpiece, but apparently I'm almost the same age as the author, probably lived the same middle class white-boy life growing up, and I got about 95% of the pop culture references. It was cool; I felt extremely hip reading it, and then realized what a huge loser I was. There is some passage about the inside cover of a Rush LP album, and I was nodding my head, "yup, I've read that before at my friend's house back when we were in high school". Looking forward to RP2 validating all the garbage I consumed as a teen to make me feel hip and happening for another few fleeting moments.

Chomp8645 posted:"All the porn I've come across" It was. The rest of the poem is cut off, but it's basically a super-gross description of how he wants porn with "not like other girls" girls. (With a heaping helping of "you're not conventionally attractive so it'll be easier to get with you" subtext.)

Ready Player 2 will star the child of the first book's protagonist (or virtual son since he is unlikely to have reproduced). All the references will be to things like Minecraft, Pewdiepie and memes.

Ya'll may find some enjoyment in the podcast 372 Pages We'll never get back featuring MST3K alum, Rifftrax guy, one time SA poster Mike Nelson and Rifftrax writer Conor Lastowka. It's basically a book club podcast where they read poo poo books. The first book they ever did was RP1 and they just started in on Ready Player Two. Fancy Hat you could definitely write some good fan?fic for their "Fanfic or Real" segment where they try to trick each other with excerpts from upcoming parts of the book or fake pieces written by listeners. Thus ends my shilling part of this post, looking forward to diving into this piece of poo poo... for laughs of course. e:fb seems like I somehow missed turbocake's post Stanky Bean fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Nov 26, 2020 |

A Fancy Hat posted:Let's all be honest with ourselves, Ready Player One was the greatest book ever written AND the greatest film ever filmed. Ernest Cline (and to a much lesser extent, Steven Spielberg) created the most vibrant and original world ever made, one filled with deep characters. The book was overflowing with heart, humor, and a whole lot of amazing writing. So it's not shock that a sequel was going to come out. Is it as good as the original? Well, I'll let you be the judge. Please use this thread to share your thoughts on Ready Player Two and to share your favorite passages. Here's mine: I've never read the other book or seen the film and I know very little about either other than that I should probably avoid them. You wrote this yourself though, no way on god's green earth this is actual prose from a novel that sentient beings voluntarily spend money on and then admit to reading.

These books are a perfect unintentional parody of this era of pop culture, which is basically just “remember this?”
