Reality Bytes: Epi 1 We're back baby! New Look Same Awesomeness

The kickoff episode of the rebranded show. Eric and Todd are back to relaunch the old Q2C VR Gamer live as something new, explaining the rebrand and committing to a weekly cadence covering XR, gaming, and tech. It's a loose, welcoming first episode that leans into getting reacquainted with the audience.

Much of the early going is pure hangout, from catching up on what happened during the break to tangents on Trader Joe's and Woolworth's, getting older, lactose intolerance, and tattoos, plus the moment Sir Todd gets knighted. It sets the friendly, unscripted tone that defines the series.

When the news kicks in, the crew covers the state of the video game industry and a rundown of new and upcoming releases including Meta Hyperscape, Star Wars: Beyond Victory, Postal 2, and Doom-adjacent shooters Wrath and Aeon of Ruin, with trailers for VRacer Hoverbike, its Halloween update, and Rager. The hardware talk looks ahead to Google and Samsung's Moohan, Valve's Deckard, and the Meta Ray-Ban displays, and the episode ends with the news that Skeeva will be joining the team for Reality Bytes. A genuine origin-story episode for the show.
