Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction

Rooster Teeth has a trailer out for the sequel to Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles. Check it:

Now, clearly, these are production values in the upper 1 percentile, and we'd expect no less of Rooster Teeth, and I'm not gonna hate on it. But can I ask a question? How come any elected-office character in a military-genre movie has to have a condescending Southern accent?

It's like a British friend of mine once said about the stereotype of his accent: "If I am in a Star Wars movie, then I command the Death Star."

That said, I can't wait to see (and hear) where this is headed.

Halo Machinima Red Vs. Blue To Wrap Soon

Michael McWhertor — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 20:40:52 MDT

Rooster Teeth Production's long running machinima series based on Halo: Combat Evolved will conclude its Blood Gulch Chronicles in a matter of weeks. When the series made its debut four years ago on April 1st, 2003 it was originally intended as a mini-series that would span no more than 8 episodes. Ninety-three machinima later, with four feature-length DVDs under their belt, the Rooster Teeth team is finally wrapping it up.

Series co-creator Burnie Burns posted on the RvB forums this Sunday, making the announcement and hinting at what's to come.

One hundred is a great number, and it seems like the perfect place to call it a show. I am sure you have some questions about our plans for the series and beyond. We will be talking about all of that in the weeks and months to come, but I want to use this time to thank all of you for nearly half a decade of support. For now, it's back to work.

Is this really the end or just a much needed reboot prior to the release of Halo 3? We'll know more soon, I'm sure. Michael McWhertor

Thank You [Red Vs. Blue Rooster Teeth Forums]

Machinima Festival Gets Fancy Oscar Style Opening Movie

The 2006 Machinima Festival took a page from The Oscars this year and showed an opening video created by some of the nominees to kick off the festivities. This clip was part of a live performance by the ILL Clan and shows host Ill Will cavorting with some of the other nominee's characters in their respective game worlds. The Spartan Life, Red vs. Blue and others all helped in the creation of this great opener.

Now that video games are on the road to being considered an art form, perhaps they'll get an ostentacious awards ceremony complete with a red carpet and Joan Rivers. Ok, well maybe not Joan Rivers... no, make that definitely not Joan Rivers.
