Maybe it's just because I grew up as a nerdy kid who grew up with, and eventually took solace in hiding in the incredible fantasy worlds of games and the internet, but this story really spoke to me. 
 On the surface it seems to be a compelling story of a young boy trying to win a particularly epic video game, but underneath are a number of themes and cautionary social critique. 
 I think probably the only annoyance for me, was the nostalgia was almost a little too much at times. 
 Otherwise, I loved it.
