Retro Arcade VR

[fallacy]

Has anyone tried the Retro Arcade on The DK2. It works pretty good when you play a game, gives you the atmosphere, screen is the right size, you can see the joystick and buttons when you glance down. Can you imagine when VR gets bigger and better  you will have full rooms like this as just a part of an online virtual world with other people. The next Grand Theft Auto online will have a fully functional arcade room next to the strip club.

That's pretty cool.  I felt like I was in the book "Ready Player One" for a minute.

Don't mind the hater, It is an fun read full of nostalgia.

It's full of nostalgia, but not great writing unfortunately. And I've read it twice.

It's full of nostalgia, but not great writing unfortunately. And I've read it twice.

I got angry with the force fed, fully-cited Nostalgia. Angry like the "Incredible Hulk" played by Lou Ferrigno. Lou is one angry dude, but not as angry as Carl Winslow from Family Matters would get when Steve Urkel blew a hole in Carl's house and said his catchphrase, "Did I do that?" Carl shouldn't be so angry with Steve, it is just in his nature, just like how it is in Alf's nature to eat cats in the show Alf. That alien was hairier and crazier than Teen Wolf played by Michael J. Fox, the slam-dunking werewolf that howled his way into our hearts, just like Johnny 5 the had done in Short Circuit, and Short Circuit 2 for those of us who admit to the film as a guilty pleasure. Johnny 5 could awkwardly regurgitate random pop culture references almost as much as books like Ready Player One by Ernest Cline had done in it's fan fiction grade writing. But just as they said in Charmin commercials, "Don't squeeze the Charmin!"

Cool story, bro

I am only on page 50 but I am having a hard time getting through Ready Player 1. It just seems to be so uninspired…  most of it is just a nerd writing  back today's nerd culture. I just finished reading 2 pages on them discussing Sword Quest, hmmm the AVGN put out his video on Sword Quest a year before this book was published I wonder where he got that idea from. Bravo man bravo.



This is where I stop, when he was describing the OASIS VR word in year 2045; read this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- below. He literally described that starting zone of World of Warcraft!... because WOW was the biggest game in 2010 and that was the only thing on his brain as he played WOW and wrote his book?  He even said kobolds WTF?

Over the past five years, I’d managed to slowly, gradually raise my avatar up to third level. This hadn’t been easy. I’d done it by hitching rides off-world with other students (mostly Aech) who happened to be headed to a planet where my wuss avatar could survive. I’d have them drop me near a newbie-level gaming zone and spend the rest of the night or weekend slaying orcs, kobolds, or some other piddly class of monster that was too weak to kill me. For each NPC my avatar defeated, I would earn a few meager experience points and, usually, a handful of copper or silver coins dropped by my slain foes. These coins were instantly converted to credits, which I used to pay the teleportation fare back to Ludus, often just before the final school bell rang. Sometimes, but not often, one of the NPCs I killed would drop an item. That was how I’d obtained my avatar’s sword, shield, and armor.

I thought this was going to be a brain exploding look on what the future could be instead it’s just 2010 pop nerd culture;  lol what’s next is he going to make a reference about 3 million ET games being buried… OMG he really is going to bring that up isn’t he…
