On the day of his death Halliday had made a proclamation, Total Control of the Oasis  will go to the one who can solve his last puzzle and find his golden Easter Egg. Wade Watts is just another kid from the stacks who is a devout follower of the Oasis and its creator.

Under his avatar name Parzival, Wade and his friends Aech,Daiso and Sho have been hot on the trail for Hallidays quest. During the impossible race Parzival meets and befriends Art3mis, a brilliant player and fellow Gunter(Egg Hunter). Together the five players race against the Sixers, corporate players under the rival conglomerate, Innovative Online Industries(IOI).
Ready Player One is based off the novel of the same name by Ernest Cline. Steven Speilberg has brought the Oasis into a beautiful world of a gamers heaven. So many video game, anime and music references spanning from Rush’s 2112 to Master Chief’s Javelin Rocket Launcher take up the course of the movie that some are easy to miss. For instance:

The story in the movie is pretty fast paced, however everything gets summed up pretty well without being dragged on. of course there are a few points of romance that seemed just thrown for the sake of feeling but with everything going on within the story its very excusable.

This movie was a nostalgic ride of a lifetime. With Spielberg at the Helm it would be hard not to enjoy this movie. The Visuals were stunning, the music moved and stopped you at the right times and the actors were memorable. but as the movie goes on. its not the actors, people were watching it for. its purely for the love of the game.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan.

Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997.
