Red vs. Blue is great by Chris_Jefferson · 2004-10-12 03:50 · Score: 5, Interesting

OK, I sound like a fanboy, but Red vs. Blue is actually quite good :)

I feel it's one of the best examples of "some people with some ideas, some time and an internet connection can make something funnier than 90% of the stuff on TV". If you haven't seen the first and second series, you really should.

I have no clue what Blue and Red is

That's because your UID is too low to understand it.

Red vs. Blue is an online web show, using Halo characters. They use the Divx codec and they are are fairly large in they're amount of work completed as you can see it being they're third season. The ones I've been able to get a hold of revolve around the Master Chief who gives orders to fully vocalized named different colored Halo characters

Q: What the hell?
A: Yeah, we know.
Q: No seriously. What the hell?
A: Oh. We just write scripts and then use videogames to act them out. It's a new style of animation that some people call machinima. It allows to make weekly pieces of animation with a small group of people.
Q: That was a long response.
A: Yes it was.

50MB downloads linked by /. ? No wonder they can't do the math.
Maybe /. should start running it's own BitTorrent tracker, and ask permission from the content owners to host it. When/if they say yes, the story can be updated with a link to the torrent, ending their misery and ours.
