To view the high quality videos you have to donate money to the cause, but like before you can view the lower quality ones for free."

    Not only is this a dupe, they're on the second episode of the second season. This might have been postworthy if it had gone up a week and a half ago.

    Because of Red vs Blue myself and all my friends have started calling the rocket launching Warthogs Pumas...

    Since I'm cable TV challenged and the site appears to be /.'ed, could someone explain what Red vs Blue is about?

      Ok, so here's the skinny.

      Red vs. Blue is based on Halo, and in fact, the videos are created by a group of guys choreographing the movements of a multiplayer Halo game to follow their story.

      The story is a relatively simple one. Between the Covenant invasion (Halo) and the invasion of Earth (Halo 2), a brutal civil war broke out between the human marines (the reds versus the blues). While in most places, the fight is ugly and bloody, the boys in Blood Gulch Canyon can't seem to figure out why the hell they are where they are, seeing as though their location holds no strategic value.

      Throw in lines like "Women are like Voltron. The more you can hook up, the better it gets," an overbearing sergeant, and a retard of a blue recruit, and hillarity ensues.

      I hope this helps.

    Reminds me of the joke about the two ocean tankers that collided. One was carrying red paint, the other blue paint.

    Both crews were marooned...
