James Halliday quotes

View Quote Hello. I'm James Halliday. If you're watching this I'm dead. Before I died, I created what we in the bis call an Easter egg, a hidden object in the game that gives special powers to whoever discovers it. The first person to find the egg I've hidden inside the Oasis will inherit my stock in Gregarious Games, currently valued in excess of half a million dollar...half a trillion dollars' worth and total control of the Oasis itself. In the form of my avatar, Anorak the All-Knowing, I created three keys. Three hidden challenges test for worthy traits, revealing three hidden keys to three magic gates, and those with the skill to survive these traits will reach the end, where the prize awaits.. Off you go, keys. The keys aren't just laying around under a rock somewhere. I suppose you could say they're invisible, hidden in a dark room that's at the centre of a maze that's located somewhere...up here. Let the hunt for Halliday's egg begin.

View Quote I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I just didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid for all my life. Right up until the day I knew my life was ending. Now that... that was when I realized that, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also the only place that you can get a decent meal. Because reality is real.
