ReBoot stagger - notes and fragments

[ECSNorway]

And I'll grant that Mainframe's User could just be a clueless chainik, though I insist that whoever he's getting his Games from is actively malicious. The consequences of a User win are so rampantly destructive, I can't imagine that being a normal state of affairs.

I've been re-watching the series...

"The User does what he can to make our lives easier." - Phong, season 2 episode 1.

You know how they used to say you are supposed to reboot your computer regularly, for stability reasons? (Haven't heard that in a while, though.) And remember how the entire system is completely restored at the end of the series, when the User reboots the computer?  Yeah.
 
Though, given how sprites are able to travel from system to system via the games, the games are obviously being shared around quite a bit.

Clearly, the games are MMORPGs.
