And they make movies based off the Halo characters...some pretty awsome stuff! They got like a Halo movie and everything.

If you've never heard of it, I'd suggest watching atleast 1 epside (go with WMV files, so you can watch as it loads).


Oh, might want to read their FAQ, tells you a bit about it...
http://www.redvsblue.com/faq/

I watched Episode 47 - "It's A Biological Fact". I thought it was frikin hillarious.

Yeah I have the DVD's and some shirts. Its all pretty funny. I thought the "red VS. Blue" poll type thing was about the actual RED VS BLUE but it was just red vs. blue. Making videos with games is called Machima.

Read the FAQ, it's hilarious


Episode 39 was the one I watched, and it was really funny.
I'll probably download a bunch of these to my computer, or find a Torrent that contains a bunch of the old ones.

Ya, I saw a couple of these, earlier episodes though. I think the Halo 2 collectors edition put footage of them making an episode, funny stuff.

This is really cool how they make these video's, all they did is get 4 XBox's connected, and just act out a movie, record to pc, add voices and additional music and sound effects, that's amazing! I wonder if people have done this with other games...

They do it with the Sim's. Alot of the episodes they do when they're drunk!!!!! Also alot of the voices are from people on a telephone. I think I've seen some Knights of the old repuplic machima.

Why are the voices of people on a telephone?

EDIT: This form of animation is called 'Machinima'


Also, how do you hook your XBox up to your PC?

OK my bad. Because the voice actors(if you can call them that LOL) they need are in other states. So they go in the closet with a recorder and a telephone to record they're voice. I don't think you need to hook up your x-box to your pc to make it. But if you don't have a direct conect cable then its basically hooked up through the router already. Thats how people get the modchips and can intall anything they want to on their x box, like emulators etc. I used to play Halo 1 on the internet Via a gamespot type program hooked up through my pc. I've heard the question "how much does a mod cost" and the answer is anywhere from 20-100. It depends on what you want in a mod chip. Most you have to sodder, but you can get some that you don't have to. My friend took out his hardrive and put in a 80 gig one so He's have a whole bunch of room for movies, soundtracks, and stuff. My class is over though so I must Fly, and FLEE, and RUN

Theres 2 ways to mod your xbox and connect it to your PC + a bunch of other neat stuff.

1. Software audio hack = No xbox live and some kool but limited features

2. Buying a MOD Chip = Xobx Live access + damn near anything

Im not quite sure of the process the R VS B people use ill have to watch the Halo 2 collectors edtion DVD again.

You can connect an xbox, PC, printer etc to a router but you can only add files and run specialized dashboards on your xbox if you have either of the above hacks.

I heard about these on G4TechTV sometime. I havne't seen one, but I herad it was neat how they do it.

I've seen them online (their website) but ive never seen the movies. I have watched sumthin else they made tho.

Theres no beating RVB. IceWave04 and myself were gona make some clips in halo 2, similar to RVB, it was gona be 10 most funniest deaths in Halo 2. And we were going to hand it up as our final bit of work, but the teacher said cos we didnt make halo 2, we cant do it. But we all got shirts. Im Chuch, and IceWave04 is Grif.

I also go some RVB stuff (very little) on my site www.bigbob85.tk. Waiting for Gus to send me some Bios... 2 years , 11 months and 4 days... and counting ... just kidden.

Another good episode of Red Vs Blue is the Thanksgiving episode, I think John should watch that one
They sorta make fun of Michael Moore, and talk about the last election, funny stuff
