Red Vs. Blue - A Halo Fan Flick

Posted by simoniker on from the gnop-evolved dept.

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.

    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...

    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 /.'ed or not... the # of comments

    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.

    All that to say I have really been enjoying this series. Thank god I got episode 5 before this got posted on /. The humor makes it fun for anybody. No need to be in on HALO or any of that.

    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

  8. Re:How did they do it? by Bullseye_blam · · Score: 3, Informative

    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.
