Soon I'll have redownloaded all 70 episodes to date and will have them in DVD Player format. Just in time for the new semester so I can brag to all my friends.

Caboose and Church are my favorite characters.

What's it about?

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

So what? I have ALL the episodes on DVD, the version you BUY. [Big Grin]

Church seems to be a perennial favorite. [Smile]

The Simmons/ Grif comedy duo are my other favorites.

The new season is very good... it's not as quotable as the classic first two seasons, but that's partly because they're going for a lot more character-based humor these days rather than straight-up mockery of video game conventions. A prime example of this is the Church/ Simmons conversation in Episode 70, which is also one of the funniest gags they've ever done, but doesn't have any lines as instantly hilarious as "You shot Church, you team-killing f***tard!" or "WHY are there six pedals if there are only four directions?"

*cough* what's the show about?

Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :

I've only seen the first season so far. It was funny, but my friend who had the DVD over-hyped it so I was somewhat dissapointed, although I REALLY liked the puma joke, and Sarge constantly ordering the one guy (was it Griff?) to assassinate the other guy (I think that one was Simmons).

It's a new genre called machinima (machine + animation)... computer or video game generated TV shows, basically.

This 'show' is 'filmed' through the video game Halo.

I've never watched it, but another production by the same people called "Strangerhood" is pretty good. It's based off of The Sims 2, for PC.

The company is Rooster Teeth Productions. Here's their website.

Someone really needs to find another word for this type of show. Surely I can't be the only person who is bugged by it.

You take Halo, 4 Xbox's and a Mac + about 2 6 packs of beer and have Red vs Blue. My Call of Duty clan is trying to do somethign similar but over teamspeak. and not as scripted...

Gamination? That could be a name...

Red vs. Blue is hilarious. I had a disc of the first season but I lost it.

Saddest day of my life.

Then you haven't lived much.

Lived long enough to use hyperbole for comedic purposes. [Wink]
