Parzival Archives

She looked absolutely stunning in a black sequined number, and the Edgleys performed selections by The Eurythmics, No Doubt, The Banges, and more. I cannot tip my hat enough to the organizers and promotors of the event — from the DeLorean outside to the incredible printed materials and decorations that were literally everywhere inside the Fluxx[...]

None of this 'everyone lives happily ever after' bullshit that you get in the film. Wade Watts/ Parzival isn't the cool tricked out avatar we see immediately in the film He's a 17-year-old slightly overweight high school senior with no money (no DeLorean til later, too) and no real way to make any He's a level 3[...]

Touching on the prevalence of bullies and those who pick on lower level and/or poorer gamers?  Yes, because that's part of the point of the freaking story. Main character Wade Watts and his avatar Parzival (played in the film by Tye Sheridan) is poor, and a low level character in the gamer-culture world of the OASIS *because*[...]

Two days ago, it was the release of the RP1 line of merchandise from Hot Topic (even though most of it misses the mark, and some of the items have notable differences, like the keys being out of order on a freaking shirt). Just now, the official Twitter account posted this video featuring the High Five informing fans[...]

(again with the men's sizes) There *are* some female shirts, but as usual they cost $2-5 dollars more than the men's sizing.  The best is definitely this ringer tee with the keys and an attempt at the quatraine from Anorak's Invitation. The boys' pjs, of course, because pockets.  What the hell is up with that anyway? [...]

We're getting ever closer to the release of Ready Player One next month, and that means we're finally starting to see some merchandise.  Specifically- the AMAZING Funko Pop Vinyl collection being released for the film. Seriously, this is a fabulous set of figures INCLUDING THE KEYS that make such an important appearance in the source material book[...]

But there is more of Parzival's speech to the Gunter army, there is more of him and Art3mis together And perhaps the most interesting choice: several shots of Aech. I've been trying really hard not to talk about the source material plots revolving Aech, because the reveal of that is sort of one of the most[...]

There are three gates in the Quest, each with a key to open them, and a scoreboard appears to display the names of the first avatars to find the keys and open the gates. The High Five are the first five to find the first key, and the first five through the first gate.  Some of[...]

Scroll down for some screenshots and descriptions of what we noticed and some of the super awesome additions to the film. Our gallery of screenshots and egg descriptions: #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ First look at Wade Watt's OASIS avatar, Parzival[...]

There is also (of course) an Easter egg in the trailer. Pictured here is Parzival Wade's avatar, the Iron Giant, Deadpool, and what we're assuming is Anorak's Castle. Ready Player One follows main character and teenager Wade Watts (played by Tye Sheridan in the film) as he embarks on the greatest quest of his generation, to save the[...]
