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.

    Actually, them heap smart. I finally got through and am tearing through a file at 88 KB/sec. Looks like they've got connection caps.

  2. How did they do it? by hexdcml · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Aside from all the comments regarding /. effect and bandwidth, does any one know how they managed to do this? Did the guys just capture it off their TV and then added voice overs?

    It's an interesting concept, and I'm sure some bright spark can actually make a basic TV series outta say, GTA 3 and The Hitman.

    I've been following this since Episode 1, and it gets funnier with each iteration, as the series builds up - I only wish them epsiodes were longer.. :)
