I like the part where they figured out the previously undiscovered secret in the race was to drive backwards. I tried that shit in Mario Kart when I was 8, you're telling me NOBODY had tried it in that game before?

    I still remember exactly how the announcer enunced "You're Going The Wrong Way!"

    I haven't read the book, but yeah that really broke immersion for me in the movie.

    The book's first puzzle is solved by Wade playing the arcade game Joust against a bot. Then when he wins, he's dropped into the movie WarGames, replacing Matthew Broderick's character, and he has to act out every scene to progress.

    Seriously, that's it.
