Obviously his death will trigger a worldwide AR Easter egg hunt, where the Steam user worthy enough to find the three keys first will become the new Gaben and Master Of Steam.
Must drive backwards....
Or talk to a girl!
Let's not get crazy
Fuck it, I'm out.
I cringe just remembering that movie.
I haven't seen it, is it even worse than the book ?
I looked at the movie as a fun romp that's a bit inspired by the book and that makes it bearable. The movie took the nerdiness down in a way that was very unrealistic, but understandable to the general public. Anyone actually in the nerd community knows that people find shortcuts and glitches, and do speedrun records competitively; but they removed the entire part about the first key being in the school area (where it would be attainable by all for free) and instead make it "Oh, I was supposed to drive backwards in this race that I need a very expensive car/weapons for"
It's a very pretty movie with a lot of fun Easter Eggs, but you've gotta separate and realize it wasn't made for them to enjoy it.
What movie/book?
Ready Player One
Thanks
I haven't read the book. But the movie is indeed really terrible.
