Gunters - The First Gate

Yesterday, Ernest Cline revealed his online Easter Egg Hunt contest in the spirit of his awesome book, Ready Player One:


The clue to where the Atari2600 challenge is online is hidden in the text of the book, and that first gate is open now.  

...aaaaand Solved:



The rest of you Gunters have until July 1st to catch up, because I'll be virtually camping on that gate until it opens up.  That DeLorean is all mine!

Good Gunting!

Wow. All the way down at number 62?! In my defense, I only heard about the contest late Tuesday night.

Ok. I'm into gate 2 now. It involved going into the wastelands. Ugh.

Yeah, gate 2 was a bear. I'm all the way down at #109 on gate 2 leaderboard, even though I worked on it non-stop from when it opened! Delp murdered this one, no question. My advice is: don't go with your natural austerity measures instinct while you look for lunchboxes or whatever, buy and sell crap like you are a real estate tycoon who simply can't lose.
