Watching as the I/O port closes and his last chance moves away from him at the speed of light. He was too late for this write cycle. And there won't be another one. He will never reach non-volatile memory. He will be wiped, cleared into the oblivion of electrostatic noise and darkness. He will be forgotten, lost in the aftermath of the reboot... unless... I... would be right there. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Wed, 02 May 2012 19:38:09 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4332&msg_id=4335 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4332&msg_id=4334 They've certainly captured the aesthetic - sleek, distopic futuristic cyber city. Clean, lean, leggy human-programs. The visuals and Tron universe feel (the music, dark atmosphere, cryptic yet serene lights) are certainly appealing, but I wonder if it has any substance to it that goes beyond the usual tropes (good vs evil, rebellion, corruption, a dribble of sexual tension, etc) and explores the computing aspect. Hell, they could get very meta, with references that sail not only over their childhood viewers, but largely any non-tech oriented adults. This could certainly draw in the Adult Swim crowd.

Of course, I wanted it to be something it could never be, but that's another story. However: I'm interested, at least a little, in the animated show they're doing, called Tron: Uprising. Trailer here. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Wed, 02 May 2012 03:05:41 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4332&msg_id=4332
