Has anyone seen the new series on UPN called Game over? It is a cg sitcon about a what happens to computer game characters at the end of the day... you know, they go home to their families and such...



I am down in Australia and so am unable to watch it (as no channel is yet showing it). Does anyone know where I would be able to download an episode for viewing. I only ask becaue I am a 3d animator and am wanting to know the quality of the work going on in the show.

    I saw 2 episodes. It is kinda good, but I have seen better animation. I think it is supposed to have a "cheesy cartoon" look to it. I used to watch a show called "Reboot" years ago and I think the animation/story was better. If you want I could record a episode for you.

    ReBoot was produced by Mainframe in Vancouver, BC, Canada



    very sharp folks... I interviewed them for an article years ago and had a tour...

    model-shops with maquettes and digitizers, render rooms full of SGIs (back in 97), killer production schedule (ReBoot was cranked out in a week per 22min show at some stages),



    and similar to Simpsons and Family Guy, tons of inside jokes for older audiences of computer users (not just a show for kids) who grasp the additional layers of meaning



    a partial list of Mainframe's other projects is online, but Game Over doesn't seem to be in it...



    and from the trailers, Game Over definitely looks like a poor imitation of ReBoot,

    but I haven't seen full episodes yet, and my standards may have increased over time

    YMMV
