I know Vinny mentioned it on the Bombcast, but I haven't heard it anywhere else.

Has anyone else read the book? And if you have, are you getting the illest Ready Player One vibe from everything that's happening with the game and the community? It's exciting just how similar it is to the book--the whole "community coming together" business. Even the leaderboard situations are similar, with people freaking out over those who have the highest percentages, wondering whether they're using glitches or not.

Overall, I'm enjoying Fez's metagame as much as I enjoyed the game. And I can't wait until the final (?) puzzle is solved.

Just listening to the Bombcast confirms my dark suspicions that Fez is 90% metagame. Great for some, but I've always hated ARGs.

This terminology is alien to me

I'm currently reading the book, and it's awesome. This game totally gives me those vibes. Just like in the book you can't tell Phil Fish hid things that may be related to his own life and references to other video games. The only difference is we won't earn a fortune. It also would have been cool if the leader boards updated with the names of the people who found every little secret in the game.

Started reading it last night. Very similar. I expect Phil Fish has recently updated his last will and testament.
