![]() ![]() No one could have ever predicted something of this magnitude. According to the partner, Halliday was always trying to create new games and new things. His company partner hadn’t spoken to him for years and just assumed he was coming up with a new game. In the years leading up to the introduction of the contest, no one had seen or heard from Halliday for years. Halliday almost never spoke to media even though the initial release of the OASIS and for its entire ride up to the level that it's on now. James Halliday has hidden three keys, which unlock three gates, which will lead anyone who finds them all to his fortune of billions. Ready Player One’s plot is built around the OASIS creator’s “Easter egg hunt”. The point is, is that we need to start taking our issues seriously or these popular fiction novels will turn into non-fiction history books very quickly. If we become more focused on healing the hit point from an enemy and not on healing the environment, the environment can end up looking like something right out of Ernest Cline’s mind. If we don’t stop caring so much about what’s happening on our favourite television show and start caring about what’s happening to the ice caps in the arctic, then maybe we can avoid a situation like The Hunger Games. Both stories give us a good sense of what our futures could possibly look like if we don’t start actually trying to make a difference and solve our problems. I think Ready Player One made me think of the trilogy because of these reasons and also because of the message they both have. Both of these stories focus on the importance of perseverance and determination. The Hunger Game’s contest is to try and make it out of the game alive. ![]() Ready Player One’s contest is to hunt for a virtual Easter egg in the OASIS that leads to the game creator’s fortune. Both stories have a major competition but with two very different goals. They are both set in a dystopian type future where the majority of people are poor and struggling. Ready Player One is very similar to The Hunger Games trilogy. ![]() Especially since making an account only costs a quarter, it is understandable how nearly everyone in the world has integrated the OASIS into their everyday life. The OASIS allows the user to actually live and participate in any of its thousands of worlds. Oculus Rift allows you to play video games using a game controller similar to X-Box. OASIS projects the scenery directly into your retinas to fully throw you into its world. Oculus’s visor goes from one side of your peripherals to the other to try and give a full immersion experience. It is a similar concept but is still in its primary stages of development. The OASIS seems to be a more advanced version of the pre-existing game system called Oculus Rift. Every login is enabled by a retina scan, then the haptic gloves track your actions in real time. To make an account you sign up using your email and your retinas. The user accesses the OASIS using the visor and haptic gloves. Now, he mostly uses it to attend school, hang out with his best friend and to hunt for the largest prize in the world: the “Easter egg” hidden in the game by the billionaire creator, which leads the winner to his fortune. His mother used it as a tool to keep him busy while she worked to support them. The OASIS has been a part of Wade’s life since his childhood. ![]()
