Profiles In Analytics From Ready Player One — A New Series
Lessons Inspired By The Characters Of The Movie
Ready Player One is a veritable feast of 80’s culture and retro gaming. It’s angle on futurism and the way it draws from current pop culture also provide a lot of inspiration. But despite the many first person shooter connections of this movie, it actually has a deeper tie to the kind of gaming we like so much here at Corsair’s — the kind that teaches and inspires analytics.
At Corsair’s we have a long history of holiday profile series, we started with Monty Python and the Holy Grail years ago. Leveraging Spielberg’s latest $0.5 trillion dollar blockbuster seems right up our alley.
What to expect?
Over the next week or so, we will release new articles featuring a character from the movie and an analytic lesson that best draws from their persona. Ready Player One provides us with the somewhat unique opportunity of feature the “IRL” character and the OASIS avatar.
Links will be added below as each article is completed. So check in regularly to see how this series progresses. Will we cover every character? That remains to be determined — but we always encourage comments and feedback. Many of our prior series had articles added because our readers asked for it.
For now, get ready for:
- Aech — A Profile In Identity and Trust — available here.
- Art3mis — Let The Hunt Begin — coming soon…
Also, keep an eye out for Easter Eggs and trivia, two favorites of this movie. We will work to build them into the articles ahead. If you are a fan of the movie, a fan of analytics, or a fan of gaming in general — we expected each 3–5 minute article to provide a little thought-provoking entertainment. Enjoy. Play on.
