History Headscratchers / Reboot

* Why did Glitch Bob think that separating from Glitch would make him "look like the other guy"? Glitch had nothing to do with him looking so differently; it was the web that changed him. He should have known that separating from Glitch would have reverted him to the Web Bob look, rather his Season 1 look.

** [[spoiler: ''The Guardian Code'' addresses this in the 10th episode: Mainframe is actually a mainframe, and the User is playing games directly on the mainframe instead of on a network]]

*** Sure, but nanosecond is one billionth of a second which sets a clear time scale difference between mainframe and the real world (and nanosecond seems to be analogus to a minute).

** They do! Remember in S3 when Matrix and co are travelling from system to system using the games? Each time a game is won or lost it leaves the system and restarts in another, seemingly at random. The User likely IS using continues or restarting the games, they're just not happening in Mainframe. As for campaign type games, how would you tell? They enter a game, reboot, figure out the objective and simply do that. They could be playing the same game repeatedly and we just can't tell because the User made different choices.

** Just wait for the new movie(s?) to come out...

* [[spoiler: In ''The Guardian Code'', why is Frisket outside of Mainframe? The next generation Guardians meet some of the original cast in episode 10. Or is that just how all dog Sprites look?]]
** [[spoiler: The bigger question here the guy who has all the original show merchandise and stuff in his house that notes Mainframe has come back online. Does this imply that ''[=ReBoot=]'' was an [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe show]] that was based on an actual computer mainframe? VERA and the others find the actual computer Mainframe originated from behind the scanner in their base. So, LogicBomb much?]]

** It's worth noting that the only two who are said to have a problem are [=AndrAIa=] and Mouse - and both have icons, just different from the standard ones.

** Sounds like a good idea for a new series. A...ReBoot reboot? ([[IncrediblyLamePun Sorry.]])

* Why hasn't Dot fired Cecil yet? A waiter who refuses to serve any customers he doesn't like is terrible for business, and she's supposed to be a good businesswoman.

** The delivery service would function as a handshake protocol. Megabyte doing the vid-window hand off was because Enzo had open access.

* What's the point of delivery services like Enzo's if you can just hand stuff to distant people through windows, just like Megabyte did when he passed his package to Enzo?

* What's the point of delivery services like Enzo's if you can just hand stuff to distant people through a vid window, just like Megabyte did when he passed his package to Enzo?
* In "Racing the Clock", we see that the User is invisible due to the game being played in 1st person. This makes sense, as the game wouldn't bother rendering something that isn't shown on the screen. The problem is: Going by this, the User should be invisible in FPS games too. So how are Sprites able to see him and attack him in these games?

* What's the point of delivery services like Enzo's if you can just hand stuff to distant people through a vid window, just like Megabyte did when he passed his package to Enzo?

* Why did Megabyte need to employ Enzo's Delivery Service to send a bomb to Hex, when he could just have sent it to her through a vid window just like he sent it to Enzo?

* Did anyone ever explain ''how'' SCSI and Cyrus got though the firewall?

* [[spoiler: In The Guardian Code, why is Frisket outside of Mainframe? The next generation Guardians meet some of the original cast in episode 10. Or is that just how all dog Sprites look?]]

* Why does Daemon need a guardian with a key tool? Ray can open systems too, and she already has him.

** My headcanon is that all systems (including Mainframe) take place in a (super)computer's RAM (Random Access Memory), not on the hard drive. So unless the game is always running, there will be beginnings and endings to every User session. Even in building games, the User will eventually get tired or just move on to doing something else. Considering the time scale (and the possibility of multiple users), no wonder games repeat themselves so rarely. The hard drive is also where the backups are kept.

*** You seem to misunderstand. Say I'm playing Mass Effect. I gun down one group of enemies, then spend one second to readjust my aim. To the billion times faster people, 31 years would pass between gun bursts. To put it in the other side: say a Game lasts 2 hours to the perception of the Sprites. If they live at one billion times our speed, then 0.0000072 seconds would pass for the User. How does the User interact?

* Not all games are win or lose, what happens if there is a game where your can build stuff with no defined goal? The User would not be able to win or lose so would it just be a harmless game and it just leaves when the User is done with the game?

** Despite being a Guardian, Bob's immunity was uncertain. There was no way anyone, even Phong, was certain it would work until Bob smashed his way out of the petrification, by then, a significant amount of Mainframe was affected.
