is it just me or is jay looking kind of off this episode?
probably just had a bad night's sleep
i think he might be putting on some weight again. i hope he's ok.
I wasn't ready for schlubby Jay to make a special appearance again.
Jesus christ... Jay was right, Danny Phantom did come out first!
Mike's "Logging into the Oasis" joke man, that fucking joke got me so good.
I hope PreRec does a vr chat stream with mike as a guest, his improv is great
he's only been on stream once or twice, games aren't his thing he likes to work and his work is film.
Jay will show up and he's even played outlast which he liked.
the whole thing after the review was great

I want this to be the new name for the bland white dude protag trope.
Rich Evans gonna start dropping anime refs any day now
so if the protagonist was black he would've been a good protagonist? why is him being white noteworthy?
Are you referring to white rice as an insult? Because that's usually used to show that they're bland like white rice. Additionally audience surrogate main characters tend to be boring white dudes (or ladies but mostly dudes) because it's what whomever created it see the audience being themselves. Don't get too hung up on it.
Because Hollywood is a very racist place that has historically cast white males for roles that sometimes were even originally not white males. In 2018 it's kind of a mix between a joke/trope of hollywood and actual problem, but it's not really that he's white so much in this case, just that he's boring as fuck.
Dude I didn't know Spy Kids 3D Game Over got a reboot, finally Hollywood is rebooting some material that actually deserves it.
Hey, that's the name of my band!
"you're nothing now but Wet White Rice Mother Fucker"
Sounds like something space cop would say
Ready Player One wants you to remember a lot of things. But all it makes me remember is when Steven Spielberg used to be good.
I'm pretty sure Space Cop's line would be, "Some wet white rice motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill."
I've always preferred the one Drew Carey used in Whose line.
"Artificial Vanilla Ice"
Thank God these guys came along and told me what my opinion is.
Joking aside I actually am somewhat serious. Ready Player One has been one of those weird... Impenetrable things for me. I was neither excited nor apprehensive about it. It just was there. I'm glad Redlettermedia came along to give me a laugh, at least.
aside from the fact he said white rice and not white person, it's because they are over represented as protagonists of films, nobody is asking for no white protagonists, just more diverse ones too. and when the white protag is the most boring, vanilla dude ever, it's hard to justify. it's literally just a transparent placeholder for the films target demographic. boring white guys
Isn't it ironic that the plot is about keeping an entertainment medium free from corporate control, in a film, which is an entertainment medium that is nothing but pure corporate control?
The amount of memes and references is strangely similar to what we have in VRchat these days. At least Cline got that part right.
but is ernest cline a hack fraud
Mr Snipes is currently looking for work...
I feel like a stick in the mud for hating this movie so much. Everyone is saying that it's fine, but I don't think I've ever been so consistently annoyed by a movie in theaters and it was 2 1/2 hours long.
Jay is looking a lot better these days.
Not to mention the constant referencing of copyrighted characters in an era where public domain is basically dead.
No the book definitely isn't clever enough to have that sort of blatant undertone.
Will Wheaton being the mayor of video game town is more the speed of that literary holocaust.
