Maybe the book will be better but the book was fucking awful. It was literally just 90% lists to zany 80s shit.

"So and so was a big fan on classic Nintendo games like Mario, Mario 2, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong. He would play them in his fake arcade while listening to the classic hits, Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue, ACDC...."

Pages and pages of fucking lists. The writing was awful as fuck.

Scott Pilgrim handles it's references way better. Because it actually incorporated them into the world and story, instead of just prattling off a a random list of "references".

Having the fake band play the music from a video game is way better handles than just having some band member say "I can play the music from these games [30 page list]"

>not a fat ass

He loses all the weight and gets really buff much later in the book, but not when he just has the gloves and visor at the very beginning.

>>84947406
Basically he is looking for the hidden treasure of the founder of a game everyone plays who hid it behind stuff from his childhood(80's)

>>84948421
PURK?

>At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, READY PLAYER ONE is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.

>It’s the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place.

>Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.

>And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune—and remarkable power—to whoever can unlock them.

>>84948524
>For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday’s riddles are based in the pop culture he loved—that of the late twentieth century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday’s icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes’s oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig.

>And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.

>Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt—among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win. But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life—and love—in the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.

>A world at stake.
>A quest for the ultimate prize.
>Are you ready Play One?

Sounds like a faggot movie to cash in on the video game autists.

>>84948553
But if you can be anything you want to be then why the fuck is the prize going to matter to you?

>>84948609

I think someone fucked up

I'm just hoping Spielberg saves it by not focusing on the autistic inventor of VR-Second Life and instead showcasing the dystopian world. It only turned out the way it did because everyone started caring more about what's happening online than in the real world, electing internet-presidents instead of bothering with real world politics etc. Even the main character is incapable of realising that his apathy for the real world and his escape into the virtual world is the reason why the real world is turning to shit, not that it's magically turning to shit on its own while he escapes to his more fun virtual life.

It's the warning sign that the people who live their lives on the internet today needs.

>>84948945

yeah there were a few moments of bullshit like Wade watching monty pyton and the holy grail 160 times over the span of 6 years, as well as all the other 80s "research" he was doing at the same time. but I guess I'm just not autistic enough to get mad about it.

also I'm not really sure why everyone thinks it's "reddit"

Combining them is just the obvious next step in a world where everyone's driving around in virtual cars that can look whichever way you like. Deloreans would be a diamond dozen so you'd put some stickers on it to stick out or merge them in fanciful ways to stick out more and get some e-cred.

The book revolves around one autist winning a competition for what's basically every game and the internet combined, set up by an ultra-autist who never fucked a woman in his long life and instead focused on putting his childhood nostalgia into the virtual world and making a contest around it.

Not surprisingly the parts where the one autist recaps what the wizard autist was into and where he's looking for clues to win the game comes off as autistic as fuck.

It was a fun little book to read that I knew about 80% of the references despite being born in 85. I hope there's some synthwave-inspired score or possibly a song by Chvrches slotted in.

Simon Pegg might be the best part of the movie.

/v/ isn't old enough to get the Ready player one references, not that being the Ready Player One target audience is anything to be proud of, but it's definitely more up Reddit's late 20's to 30's yuppie philistine demographic.

80s culture is still contemporary culture. We had the 90s, which was good, andthen we didn't really come up with anything in the 00s, so we took a step back.

>>84955688
This right here. Who the fuck is the target audience? It's so juvenile that it has to be "young adults," right? But anyone who is a teenager now, or even in 2011 when the book was written, is too young to know or care about all the 80s shit.

Millennials bitch about not being able to find any jobs that they can live on, not that they can't find jobs. They're fine taking a job sweeping floors but they end up bitching because they have to take ten of them to afford living even if they never eat out and the only culture they get to experience is the stuff they pirate.

You're like one of the people causing the Great Depression talking shit about the oakies because they're telling people about their lives.

Companies barely even have mailrooms any more gramps

I work in a building of 600 people and our mailroom is 2 dudes.

The fact that this book got a movie adaptation gives me hope that one day I too can write borderline fanfiction and get it turned into a Spielberg production. Or at the very least a non-Spielberg production that's halfway decent. Not having every 80's reference under the sun would probably make that easier.

In the novel there is an arc, fatso gets fit and loses weight for a girl. In the movie they go fit from the begining, eliminating one of the plot points.

Ready Player One is about a VR MMO with a bunch of easter eggs that grant control of the entire game to whoever finds the final one.
All the easter eggs are based on 80's pop culture, so you have people obsessing over everything 80's in order to figure them out.

>>84947406

That autist wrote a book about everything he loves, and since >>84959580 happened a bunch of people started autistically studying his tastes to find all the easter eggs.

The movie will have an open ending and they will make like a franchise out of this. Screencap this.
