Copy and Paste the Truth (ReBoot s1e2)

Chris and Peter continue their journey through ReBoot with a look at Season 1, Episode 2, where the residents of Mainframe are thrown into a high-speed racing game. The brothers talk about how the show handles its early game-of-the-week format, before branching off into a wider chat about racing games—why they’ve never quite been their genre of choice, and which ones (if any) have managed to win them over.

Elsewhere, the conversation takes a spooky detour as they discuss the indie horror title Fear the Spotlight and reminisce about the distinctive atmosphere of PlayStation 1-era horror games. Along the way they also attempt to wrap their heads around hexadecimal numbers.

It’s racing, retro horror, and a little bit of computer science, all in one podcast episode.
