I feel roasted. Am I roasted?

Child, please! I need to know where to find that purple fluffy pom pom sitting next to the book. It's so cute.
Love the pinned comment though
Admit it. You had a lot of fun working all of those references into a story and sharing it with the world. :p
You gonna do a Bingo video for Avengers?
Okay. So it's not just my old man cynicism that makes me think this movie (and book, apparently) looks profoundly inane.
This is basically Twilight Sparkle in FIW. So accurate.
I watched/played almost a third of these and I'm a 90s guy, and they were the *shit*. Hamtaro, Care Bears, (Darkheart is the coolest) Neopets, the Disney princess sequels, if you said Poptropica I would've flipped out.
jenny, thia video finally made me become a patreon, i was laughing so hard that i realized i had to support you. i read and liked the book but i do love reading lists of things i recognize :P keep doing what you do.
Amazing. Anyone commenting that your sarcasm is so understated and imperceptible I'm just going to assume has never had a conversation with a human before.
Can I find DJ Sebastian on SoundCloud? I would love to hire him for a party sometime.
Yo, Spielberg* make this one! *steven or sasha
While this is - as always - a brilliant takedown, don't you think it was pretty 'RPO'-ish for you to be pretending to read off the book but actually just to be reciting the text off your phone?
Both books sound like all kinds of eww....
Jenny you are both awesome and quite silly. Thanks!
So which book is better? Trapped on a Island or RPO? I can’t wait to hear more on RPO from you. And seriously, i’m not kidding, if you think RPO is bad, Armada is like 1,000 times worse. It’ll make you regret you ever enjoyed anything Star Wars.
That Synergy reference was truly, truly, truly outrageous!
I probably can hardly wait for the probably multiple videos. If there’s anything I love, it’s list after list of things I know.

this is fantastic
Geniusness. That's what this is.
I'm not optimistic that the movie is going to be good or anything but I do think that the references will work better in a visual medium. Rather than having to stop everything for a list of things you might remember they can just exist in the background or something. Unfortunately nerd references are the entire substance of the book so even if it works better here that only gets you so far...
Spielberg does have a good rep of taking bad or broken stories and turning them into great films. 'Minority Report' is a typical Philip K. Dick story, well written but also random, haphazard and trailing off into tangents, but Spielberg managed to shape a rather solid story out of that farrago. I just can't understand what he saw in the actual book of 'Ready Player One' to want to make a film out of it.
Yeah it's a pretty overrated book. Thankfully the movie looks like it's taking a lot of liberties. So hopefully we won't have to watch them reenact all of War Games. As annoying as this book is for, among other things, being a series of pop culture reference lists, the irony was not lost on me when I found myself overjoyed by your mention of Teen Witch and Girls of Rock 'N Roll (and playing it at the end).
The audio book as read by Wil Wheton makes this book even worse. I like Wil, but he doesn't have the range or chops to turn this turd into a... non turd?
I know very little about Wil so he doesn't do anything to help it, and I think the act of hearing anyone read it aloud is inherently more embarrassing
You'll have to wait for them to invent a virtual fantasy world in order to live this dream
