Ep 94 - Ready Player 2 - Apparently, We Were Surprised to Find Ourselves Still Reading This
🕑 Added 2021-02-04 19:14:31 +0000 UTCIf you had taken a second mortgage on your home and placed the entire sum on a Vegas bet that "nothing in this book could possibly be worse than the chapters spent on the John Hughes planet" I am sorry and I hope you can find another home. Because the chapters on the Prince and Silmarillion planets are not only worse, they are the worst things ever created by humankind, and that includes all of our wars and the invention of hot pincer-based torture.
Conor takes on the Real or Fanfic challenge, we read some mail, and discover some very very dumb sentences.
For next time: FINISH THE DAMN BOOK!

Going to bat for Conor here-- he meant that Fallout has been a major franchise from the original XBox and onward, since 3 game out for that generation. Now I'm going to call him out on the fact that the original Fallout is a classic 80s game (from 1997) and would have been a perfectly acceptable reference. Although I personally thought the tipoff was that he didn't add 'The console looked like something out of Fallout-- the original 1997 release from Black Isle Studios, not the post-Bethesda buyout games.'

Amazon sent me an email mail with $5 credit to buy Armada and Ready Player One. They can’t get rid of them seemingly.

Did I hear Conor use the term X-Box “On” ? I thought it was Xbox “One.” Do we have another “Odgen” on our hands? 😜 Though I do have to say the riffing about Sorento appearing on the Prince planet was top notch! I was dying on Mike’s chuckling and Conor’s explanation of Sorento’s indentured servitude to Anorak. Classic 80s boys!
