This is a discussion on the 90s CGI series.

I can't help but think about the gamecube. Not how it is harmful or anything like but rather this: Do all games generate a gamecube or just the ones that requires enemies with AI? I can't see how Bob can help Binomes in solitaire or an adventure game where everything is predetermined.

[up]There were several episodes with adventure games in them, and the binomes would set traps/become enemies and various impediments to stop the player from winning.

Reboot was a great show. I wonder whatever happened to that 2011 teaser indicating, well, a reboot of the series with better technology.

I doubt a reboot would go anywhere, it was very much a product of its time and half the appeal was the CGI, along with the fact that cyberspace stories have been done since then, although none where all the inhabitants were native to their world.

[up][up] Every two years news come out that they are rebooting ReBoot or making a sequel or something

I'll believe it when I see it on my screen at this point.

Anyway, I don't think the concept is dead at all or too dated to work, but it'd take some talented writers. Reboot's writing was clever and on the point, some of the best stuff the 90s ever produced cartoon wise. So don't want someone half assing it. I prefer no Reboot to a shit Reboot.

What a coincidence, I just started watching Reboot, but I've only seen 6 episodes so far, so I don't have that much to say.

[up]I found season 1, while good, to be kind of forgettable as a whole.

Late season 2-season 3, that's where it's at. I like Daemon Rising too but I can see where the complaints about it come from.

"They say the user lives outside the net and inputs games for pleasure. No one knows for sure but I intend to find out."

You sure about that, Bob? Because you make no effort to do that or even reference it in the actual show.

Seriously, why did they put that in the opening narration? Was it from a leftover concept?

Probably seemed like a good hook at one time, but ultimately character development took them another way. Chalk it up to Early-Installment Weirdness.
