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

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.

It's out now and I HIGHLY suggest you running down to your local bookstore to pick up a copy. Heck, you might wanna set the flux capacitor back a little bit, since the book actually came out YESTERDAY!

But I was going to Toshley Station to pick up some power converters! :mad:

Ready Player Cum is the only adaptation I'm interested in, thank you

Just wait, in a few years someone will publish their Ready Player One erotic fan fiction and make it into the best seller list.

Wait. I've actually read Ready Player One. 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?

Yes, it's true. Ernest Cline has no dick.

It's kind of awesome that mocking Ready Player One has itself just become nerds memorizing and reciting a collection of obscure references and then smirking because they recognize them. Quoting Nerd Porn Auteur and referencing the time Ernest Cline lent his DeLorean to George RR Martin, namedropping 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back and that one Jenny Nicholson video, reciting long lists of all the things that Wade Wilson recites long lists of, just a big log of references built up over half a decade that is just as dense and impenetrable as the book itself.

I refuse to believe that any of the quotes posted in this thread aren't a parody invented by the poster.
