* Wade mentions watching videos of cute geeky girls playing covers of 80s music on ukuleles partway through infodumping about his research into Halliday's interests. He admits that the videos weren't actually part of his Halliday research and he just finds EndearinglyDorky girls playing ukuleles attractive for reasons he "can neither explain nor defend."


Added DiffLines:

* After the fact that the Copper Key is on Ludus becomes public knowledge, the planet is quickly overwhelmed by hordes of Sixers and gunters traveling to the Tomb of Horrors. The school board eventually gives up, makes a duplicate of the planet sans the code for the Tomb, and relocates the students and staff to Ludus II.

* Wade reveals to the rest of the High Five that despite having had several weeks of lead time, the Sixers still haven't been able to open the Third Gate. He mentions that Sorrento has tried reciting the words carved above the gate in multiple languages, attempted to derive meaning from said words via the Bible, and generally done "every asinine thing you can imagine", all to no effect.
-->'''Wade:''' They're getting desperate now. Sorrento has tried everything except genuflecting, doing a little dance, and sticking his pinky finger in the keyhole.\\
'''Shoto:''' ''(grinning)'' That's probably next up on the agenda.

I-r0k decided to take screenshots of his avatar, caption them "Penis-ville the Mighty Kobold Slayer", and post them to a popular gunter message board.

Coyote moment with Wade desperately trying to grab the edge of the open gate, and failing.

** Before that, his narration notes how absurd the overall challenge must look to an outside observer; a normal kid, (Wade's avatar is made to look similar to him) and a lich, hunched over and playing an old-school video game in the middle of a dungeon. According to him, it's like something off the cover of an old-school video game magazine.
