Red Vs. Blue - A Halo Fan Flick
Universal Nerd writes "Red vs. Blue are the folks with a great sense of humor who gave us the Apple Switch spoof, Mac Gamer, a while ago. They're now releasing a new movie called The Blood Gulch Chronicles, a series of episodes created using in-game footage from Halo. Well worth a look and a laugh." The fifth and latest episode came out yesterday, and this is some of the best and funniest machinima I've seen in a long time. Update: 05/05 19:43 GMT by S : Here's a BitTorrent link, thanks to Gametab.
This french site has the movies mirrored.

Some kindly folk at Fark have provided mirrors. Scroll down for links.
The only thing that takes time is apparently contacting the download server. I waited for about a full minute while it searched and searched and then the download popped up and maxed out my line...
/.'ed or not... the # of comments
be patient...
although, i'm sure it'll suck fat rock later when there are like 100 comments, that's how i judge if it was
Mplayer. It plays nearly everything.
I don't play games really. I own a console but it is a Sega Genesis. I haven't pulled it out from under the t.v. in a long time.
/. The humor makes it fun for anybody. No need to be in on HALO or any of that.
All that to say I have really been enjoying this series. Thank god I got episode 5 before this got posted on
This is even better than the Matrix (Halo Remix).

It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
Having a topic just for games is great, now even silly and cool stories manage to get posted, yeah! :)
Anyway, here's my mirror...

We @ Slashdot Games are now trying to make sure there's a BitTorrent link available alongside any posts that will generate server-slaying bandwidth, with the help of nice people who mailed us and offered to help out. In this case, we actually mailed the guys at Gametab before the post went live to alert them ask them about putting a BitTorrent link on their site - thanks again to them. Looks like it helped a bit, at least.
If you go to divx.com and download the one the doesn't say "PRO bundle" there is no spyware. Here's a direct link - no spyware included:
DivX 5.05
does any one know how they managed to do this? Did the guys just capture it off their TV and then added voice overs?
;)
sort of, yeah. I know there are a few effects they added by using a video-editing program, which adds a nice touch. This really isn't an uncommon thing... there are certain people on the web who have a FETISH with making Halo videos (heh). These are very high quality and very entertaining, though.
Go halo.bungie.org (a Bungie fan-site) and click on the movies section to check out some of the others.
5.0.2 doesn't seem to work on these videos. Just updated to 5.0.5 and they play just fine.

I have personally talked to a devloper, Roger Wolfson, for Microsoft that is working on the port of Halo to the PC. He said that even though the XBox and PC are very similar, it is still a big pain, since they have convert some ASSEMBLY for the VIDEO CARD into directx stuff, and make it more generic. There is also the problem that some of the stuff the XBox does in the video card is impossible/proprietary in the current video cards for the PC.
So, yes halo is definilty coming to PC, but it will probably take a while.
If I have nothing to hide, don't search me
Hands down, bar none, the funniest sh*t I've seen in a while.
Actually Bungie has invited us to join them at their E3 fanfest this year and they have asked us to make a special episode just for the fanfest. You may say it's a shame for us to capitalize on Bungie's idea, but they love it and we are in regular contact with them.
