Welcome Back, ReBoot

Tsk. Boss says that he doesn’t see how it’s game related, so I’m moving my blog post over hereabouts:

So, this is sort of a game-related post, but sort of not… though, there was an okay PS1 game based on it.

But, in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, then you might have heard that ReBoot is back.

A countdown to the site opening ended last night, and now there’s information coming out from Rainmaker Entertainment (formerly Mainframe) and Zeros 2 Heroes Comics about the future of the franchise, which will include online comics and some full-length motion pictures.

For those who are unfamiliar or have forgotten about ReBoot… read up! But the gist of it revolves around a computer system where Binomes and Sprites live, where viruses and other menaces have to be fought off in order to protect said system. On top of all that, the User (who’s like a god to them) sometimes inserts “game cubes” (which ironically predate and look somewhat like Nintendo’s similarly-named console).

Unfortunately, after an epic third season, from which the creators were free of the standards and practices imposed on them by ABC, they created two movies which became a fourth season. However, talk is that there was supposed to be a third movie that would wrap everything up… but unfortunately, that never happened, leaving fans on the mother of all cliffhangers, which many thought would never be resolved, especially with the passing of legendary voice actor Tony Jaye, who voiced prime antagonist Megabyte…

But now? ReBoot is back in business!
