About Reality Bytes

  • Birthday 01/01/1004
  1. FWIW, I did spot an article saying GameStop is going to keep selling it at the old price. How long they can keep that up is an open question but if there is one near you, you might be able to stock up on cheap(er) codes for a bit at least.
  2. I have read the books and watched the series and it is just, *chef's kiss*. And there will be a season 2! I'd almost say they improved on the books with the Sanctuary Moon scenery chewing. That stuff is in the books but more as a description of the episodes by MB than much actual show dialogue. He only really repeats dialogue when it gives him an idea or inspiration to do something. Otherwise it tends to be of the form, 'in episode <number>, <stuff happened>'.
  3. I'll offer a few things I picked up elsewhere. Judging by leaked set pics, the full Strip is in the show and it was set up for seemingly three different time periods, one pre-war and two post-war. The post-war ones were noticably different in their level of destruction. The most destroyed one is presumably the 'now' of the show. The prior one is, who knows, but still showed definite damage. So possibly/probably pre-NV? And the plan seems to be to not pick a canon ending to NV and just be ambiguous about it. Bethesda supposedly didn't want them to set anything about NV in stone. So there may be hints, but vague enough that you can make a case for most any of the possible endings. And as it is over 10 years later, no matter the ending, they will write it such that something happened to change it to whatever it is in the 'now' of the show anyhow. The deathclaw is supposedly a mostly/entirely practical effect and we will supposedly see all of it.
  4. Reality Bytes, former Tychian, rebuilt and rebooted on Excelsior. He isn't what he used to be, but we have the technology... Also recreated are Moon Rose (now Moon-Rose) and Shirley I. Jest. Pretty sure I have a list of my other alts saved...somewhere. Haven't gotten around to rebuilding any of my villains but the main one was Evil Entourage. Still getting back into the recall of how to play this game. The muscle memory is there, but it is really atrophied. I was a player from quite near the beginning and was there in AP when the servers shut down for good.
  5. The code is out and private servers are a thing people can do. Little or nothing NCSoft can do about that. Large public servers like Homecoming however are an unanswered question. Big public targets are relatively easy to shut down with lawyers. So you could roll your own server to play on privately with close family and friends and probably have little or nothing to fear. But we don't yet know the future of Homecoming and any others like it that may emerge. TonyV is a longstanding pillar of the CoH community and I have faith he'll do all he can to secure the blessing of community servers. But there are no guarantees. The future of public servers like this is still very much up in the air. So hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
  6. Sounds great, except this bit is going to be impossible I expect. I can't imagine NCSoft ever handing the code over willingly. Unless there's another legal avenue I can't think of, the leaked code is all we're ever going to see I would expect. If TonyV can somehow pull off a miracle and get a sanctioned server situation arranged, then legal cover for at least some server(s) will be possible. Otherwise, it will take some creative lawyering to find a safe harbor I imagine.
