I Can't Believe I Died For This F#$@ing War...

In 2003, the crew behind a website known as drunkgamers.com decided to use a bunch of X-Boxes as well as copies of Halo to create a few Internet videos based on an real discussion had between them over what animal did Halo's jeep really look like. Meant to be at max eight videos long, Red Vs Blue turned into one of the hottest Internet properties today with a primary series of 100 episodes at it's core. The still-ongoing story has not only made fans out of regular computer jockeys world wide but Halo's creators as well, to the point of including Red Vs Blue in the Legendary edition of Halo 3.

The multiple RvB series are set in a less-serious-then-normal version of the Halo-verse, where two armor-bearing armies known simply as the Reds and the Blues have been butting heads for at least since "Master Chief blew up the whole Covenant Armada". The 100 regular episodes focus on the Red and Blue teams stationed at the Blood Gulch box-canyon, both being for the most part unskilled and uncaring about carrying on the war-effort against each other. The two teams soon find themselves having to deal with AI-boosted mercenaries, ghosts, time travel, multiple personalities, unkillable soldiers, a team-killing tank, and rapist aliens.

Teaming up with Microsoft, Rooster Teeth (RvB's creators) made two special, more action/drama-based RvB mini-series for the X-Box Marketplace. The first, Out Of Mind, centers on Tex, a soldier-for-hire who's counted as one of the Blood Gulch Blues. Taking place between Season 4 and 5 of the original series, the five-episode story follows Tex's attempts to track down a rogue AI called Omega, an AI that used to be housed within her armor and who now plans to take over the universe. The second mini-series, Recovery One, occurs some time after both the end of OoM and the original series. It follows another merc named Washington who acts as a AI-retrieval unit for Project Freelancer, the group responsible for not only him but Tex and other AI-bonded soldiers in the RvB-verse.

Spinning off of Recovery One is Reconstruction, a new series that's more or less RvB: Season 6. The story picks up over a year after the original series' ending, with the Blood Gulch teams having gone off their separate ways. They're soon brought back together for the most part though when Recovery One's Washington recruits them to help him stop a new threat to the universe, one born from Project Freelancer.

Shown off at this year's PAX, the next step of RvB-production will move from the X-Box to the drawing board. Little is known about the project other then it'll take place after Reconstruction.

And now for your viewing pleasure..

    I actually own the first two seasons of RvB on DVD. The first season was very funny, the second was a little weaker but had some moments and after that the whole show just became very boring while the "writers" tried their best to come up with something both original and funny.

    I remember being in college and making VCDs of the show to play on the TVs in the common room while all us nerds would watch and laugh.

    What I mean is that the episodes are still THERE, it's just that they're not cutting out the last bits after fade out, and it's continuous.

    I liked RvB for a while

    The later seasons started to wear thin with only a few really funny moments to break them up

    I never got the final season

    As far as I'm concerned the best thing they did after those first two seasons was PANICS

    The "episodes" on the DVD are all cut-together into a sort of 90-minute movie so it's shown continuously from beginning to end. The reason I buy almost ANY DVD is to show to friends in a comfortable setting (such as a living room) instead of having 5 or more people crowd around a tiny screen watching a compressed video on the internet in 5-10 minute segments.

    I still get requests to bring RvB out once in awhile and a lot of people who don't even play video games find the first season to be pretty great overall.

    I just went and deleted all my Rooster Teeth videos sometime after "The Strangerhood" was in it's 6th episode, but I have kept the DVDs.

    Did they ever address why Griff seems to think that Simmons is of a Latino persuasion?
    I mean I assume it's because Gus (the voice actor) is a brown person but I always kind of wondered if they'd turn that into a plot point down the line like they did with so many other jokes.

    Sarge: ...the problem is with Lopez.

    Grif: Don't tell me: the general from Spanish Land is coming. Without Lopez, we have no one to translate.

    Simmons: There's no such thing as Spanish Land you retard.

    Grif: Yes there is; they have those water slides, and all that salsa!

    Simmons: No, they don't.

    Grif: Well, I figured you'd know...

    Simmons: What's that supposed to mean?! For the last time, I'M DUTCH-IRISH!!!

    Grif: Hey, don't let your firey Latin temper get out of control. I was just making a point.

    Then later on in the scene they ask Griff if he's paying attention and he's all "well I'm certainly not thinking about rivers of salsa"

    Thought that bit was rather good for their later stuff.
