1:Peak kino, Beast Wars, reboot, War Planets, hot shot young upstarts
2: living off the teet of DTV movies and random shit. Around this time they become Rainmaker
3:The later Rainmaker era; attempting to rebrand as a proper movie company and failing. also around this time all Mainframe assets were purged because their president had a b***hfit. Now they're a shambling corpse using the Mainframe name.
Anon, while I have fond memories of reboot, what you posted is shit quality CGI by today's standards.
All of reboot is very much a period piece, since computers and their concepts were still "New" and frightening/mysterious to people. Nowadays, everything in Reboot would seem insane/laughable to kids you showed the show to.
ESPECIALLY the bit about the web being some super scary place that Cthulu like entities invade your computer from.
All the emotional animation in Reboot still looks good, though. That goes a long way. Yes the models look crude, but the way they move still looks "right"
Let's be honest. It was shit CGI by all standards; that's why the only people doing CGI at the time were people who had access to supercomputer and large teams of designers. Some random Canadian company wasn't one of the first large CGI shows because they had cutting edge technology; it was because they were the only ones who had the audacity to turn what was considered an obscure tech hobby into an actual production cartoon on a budget despite its obvious aesthetic shortcomings.
Not OR.
The graphics were primitive by current standards, but they tried to write an intelligent and interesting show.
The Reboot reboot, which attempted to mix in live-action, would be MORE laughable to modern kids than the issues you mentioned. Technically better but stupid.
I found a YouTube video where some F/X guy using Blender, a program he was unfamiliar with, recreated the Tron lightcycle race. The original probably took a team months. He did it, singlehandedly, in an afternoon. Don't diss old media because they're primitive. Think of Original Star Trek where you know the ship is taking a pounding because the actors all throw themselves to one side.

It must be pretty shitty to be a gamer in the Reboot universe. You either constantly lose due to Guardian hacks, or you win and it fricks your computer up. I only vaguely remember this show, so I'm not even sure if this is correct.
to THIS?
who is that?
Oh God no, no, noooo!
I shall have sex with all three of them.
No one knows for sure but I intend to find out
The Guava Juice Show: brought to you by Mainframe Studios.
Wait, wait wait wait.....This was made by Mainframe? they actually moved beyond Barbie flicks?
They still do those?
There's like 3 mainframe eras.
1:Peak kino, Beast Wars, reboot, War Planets, hot shot young upstarts
2: living off the teet of DTV movies and random shit. Around this time they become Rainmaker
3:The later Rainmaker era; attempting to rebrand as a proper movie company and failing. also around this time all Mainframe assets were purged because their president had a b***hfit. Now they're a shambling corpse using the Mainframe name.
I am not an entity
I am a time
that time...is now

I never said it was good.
I never even implied.

I don't know that is a great description of Cinemaphile

But that's what it is?

I thought they gave us an ending with a webcomic?

Games were harder back in the day, anon.
