Episode 1x12: Identity Crisis - Part 1
ooh, two-parter. And we're back to the Episode 1 opening again. What the hell?
Ep opens in a game with a field and river.
Bob is fishing and suddenly a tank rolls up. Enzo is inside, and he complains that the game is too boring. Bob says he might get caught in "the funhouse".
The user doesn't know how to drive. One of the round guys is in a plane so British accent and manages to blow himself up >_> Bob more or less says "ahh, f*** this" and ends this game by blowing the user up witha Rocket Launcher.
At the diner, Dot experiences a temporary distortion of reality where everything goes dark...Megabyte colours, almost. She puts it down to working too hard.
Apparently it's a big day for Dot today. Enzo almost loses his Icon and Dot says personal ID codes are on there and if someone gets hold of it, you can be made to do anything. Anyway, Dot and Bob get ready to go but tell Enzo he'll have to sit this one out.
They're at a secret location and Bob is wearing cool shades.
Turns out they're at...a hall with a massive audience. Turns out she wants to turn that sector into a massive energy park and needs their personal IDs to do it. After some convincing they let it happen, and this marks the first time they have ever converted one of Megabyte's sectors!
...Hack/Slash look on. Control of their lives is now inside the little iPad thing they transferred all their Icons to.
Hack/Slash and MB's cronies attack them! Bob and Dot escape into a utilities tunnel. Back in the hall, Megabyte vidwindows appear. He knows it's Dot and won't let her escape the sector.
In the sewers, the guy Bob and Dot are with lets himself get captured so they can escape.
Dot has transport. "Get in..." "That's my line."
Ooh. Dot is in pissed off mode here.
Dot sees the temporary distortion of reality again, but snaps out of it and attempts to escape MB's cronies.
Bob starts firing the big gun at them, accidentally causing a column to crash. Luckily, it crashes on top of the baddies.
They escape, but MB is triumphant...because the file of Personal IDs has been removed! Uhoh! I'm guessing it was Cyrus (guy they were with in the sewers)
MB doesn't have them yet, it will take a while to unlock the PIDs.
MB: "what you did was sneaky, underhanded and downright distasteful! I loved it!"
Yeah, it WAS Cyrus. MB makes him a lieutenant.
Dot is distraught, and experiences the distortion again. After it, Dot goes into Heroic BSOD mode again as a game appears. "I don't like the look of this" says Bob.
It's the funhouse. Oh.
Rating: 6/10
Eh. It felt too much like setup, which it was. Not a good ep.
