Michael J Nelson (MST3K) and one of the writers from Rifftrax have a book club podcast, and their first book was Ready Player One. They destroy Cline and his book. Give it a try. Later when the movie came out Rifftrax did a commentary with many references from the podcast. Funny stuff.

Oh hey, I was trying to find Wil reading the worst parts of Ready Player One (e.g., the part where the protagonist rants about religion), and I discovered there's a German audiobook (tragically, not read by Wil Wheaton). For Kugel and Voice:

That is not a voice I'd like to listen to for 8 hours. And what's up with the audio quality? I heard better from cassettes in the 90s.

Maybe that's on purpose. Duuuude, remember cassette tapes? The nostalgia, dude! Only 90s kids remember LOLZ!

The difference between good sounding German and bad must really be subtle then.

Fun fact: I took German in college, and couldn't get the accent right until one day after once again the Prof. tells me I'm not getting it right. So in frustration I thought "Fuck it. Do Hitler."

Prof. lit up, "That's it! Very good!" Or however you say that in German. I remember nothing.

Not really. Then again, I can't tell American accents apart unless they are very extreme. Brooklyn, Boston, Midwestern, California all sound the same to me.

Anglos generally don't. For some reason you guys always attempt some weird French accent, even down to ending words with silent letters. Unlike the French, we don't put additional letters at the end of words for shits and giggles.

My Walmart apparently sells audio cassette tape. Just tape, I didn't see actual cassettes.

No, you fuckers don't know how to divide compound words up.

Either French if they want the German to sound faggy, or some kind of Russian-esque thing. Burgers are really confused when it comes to white Eurasian accents, which is pretty strange considering that's where most of them are from.

Just try to sound like this:

(Couldn't find a cleaner version. Stupid background music.)
This is also almost beyond reproach:

Not gonna lie, I was confused as fuck when I first had numbers in elementary school. You know how at least the Gay of Thrones book would often have people say out numbers in a weird way (42 -> two-and-forty)? That's how we do it.
