Description
‘Get To The Good Part’ is a podcast driven by a deep love and appreciation for Ernest Cline’s books “Ready Player One” and “Ready Player Two.” We started the show with the premise that there were Gunters like us out there on the hunt for more. What we found was a passionate community who welcomed our humble podcast with open arms.

We find ourselves on Afterworld, and your Gunters are not quite as into it as Aech but we pressed on into the depths of sexual suavity wrapped in purple and armed with guitars. Let's Get to the Good Part!
Things go from bad to worse as the team discovers Anorak and Sorrento have been perpetrating their own schemes. Time to bring back the Low Five to Get to the Good Part!
3-2-1 Contact! The Great Space Coaster. Captain Kangaroo. Yep, we are digging deep into our childhood to find the next shard while Z works through the trauma of parental abandonment, panic, and grief. EMOTIONAL DAMAGE! It's time to pull out the psychiatric couch and Get to the Good Part!
If you grew up watching John Hughes movies, perhaps Planet Shermer would be the first world in the OASIS you visit. Or, maybe not? Your favorite Gunters are visiting Planet Shermer to follow Parzival, Art3mis, Aech, and Shoto, as they track down the next shard. Does Planet Shermer make you wish the OASIS existed? Where would you go first? Take a day off, grab the key's to the Ferrari, and let's Get To The Good Part!
Next stop, Shermer, Illinois! Our Gunter team has arrived, and Art3mis lays out the ground rules: Don't talk to anyone, don't touch anything, don't do anything, don't interact with anyone, and try not to look at anything. Simple, right? Watch out for needle drops and NPCs, and let's Get To The Good Part!
The laborious play-by-play of Sega Ninja is over--finally--only to watch the awkwardness that is teenage romance. After Wade "experiences" the moment Kira and Ogden meet (and the moment James Halliday learns all about being the third wheel), we snag the Second Shard, and figure out where we are going next. We might need some help, so let's give Art3mis a call, and Get To The Good Part!
And... we're back at Happytime Pizza, and we're excited to be here! Don't let that nostalgia slow you down, it's to play some Sega Ninja. Can Wade unleash his inner Gunter and get in the zone amidst all that delicious tomato sauce and pizza grease potpourri? Go grab your slices, and let's Get To The Good Part!
Tune in after the outro for a little extra nugget about this chapter.
"You're dead already!" Sarah Connor once exclaimed; but she's not talking about Art3mis! She hit the ground running, and so are we, as the level of excitement makes a significant uptick. Our favorite gunters are back in style, and ready to solve the latest riddle. The second shard is waiting, so let's Get To The Good Part!
Our favorite gunters prepare to set off on the only path laid before them, but what clever tricks will unfold? In this episode we tackle the difficulties of parachuting, the real-world skills that come out of gaming, and some theories about slowing down time in the digital space. Grab your chute and throw open the door because it's time to Get To The Good Part!
This chapter is Dropping Bombs like The Gap Band with a WTF moment every page in! The ghost has arrived, flipped the table, and cast a grin leaving the High Five and Chris losing their sh*t. It's getting good so let's Get To The Good Part!
From the frying pan into the oven, Z's world is getting turned upside down. Og is gone, logs have been erased, and someone let a certain someone out of prison. Dogs and cats, living together... MASS HYSTERIA! It couldn't get worse right? Right?! Things are starting to get crazy which means it's time to Get To The Good Part!
We are bursting with excitement over the new Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer that dropped a few days ago. So excited, in fact, that we dropped everything and recorded a fresh take on the goings-on in Summerville. What does the new trailer tell us that the previous didn't? Step away from your spores, molds and fungus, and let's Get To The Good Part!

Seven Shards of the Siren's Soul... Chapter 7... that must mean something, right? There's a lot of familiar territory in this chapter, and we're ready to unpack them all for you. It's time to push it, push it real good. No whammies, no whammies, and... Get To The Good Part!
The student has become the master! Wade pops into existence and your favorite gunters have a flashback to a familiar first encounter in a quaint dungeon on Ludus. Is this a foretelling of a potential relationship, what's with this mix-tape, and is Kira's no-boys-allowed room made up from what Halliday imagined it would look like, or did someone with inside knowledge fill in the details? It's time to find the first shard so let’s Get To The Good Part!

Parzival has doubled down on his search for the shards as we pick apart his futile efforts, contemplate the number 7, and think on the new found value of time and the toll being paid as he progresses to each dead end.

The ONI sounds like a great solution to the current pandemic, doesn’t?
