not sure how someone managed this, but season one of the insanely popular red vs. blue season one has managed to compile all twenty or so webisodes into one piece that clocks in at around 71 minutes.
always wanted to know what the whole machinima buzz was all about? or heard about the red vs. blue (and no, for those of you south of the 49 we are not talking about the last election) thing and didn't know wtf they were speaking on? well now, you too with the help of youtube.com can experience the joy, the sorrow, the flat out weird drama that put a bunch of texans in the museum of arts and led them to slowly stop working for others and work for themselves.
as an aspiring artist - the idea of working for your own art is the platinum ring. (it once was the gold ring but the global conspiracy of inflation forced me to up the ante - make the cost of living go down and perhaps i'll re-adjust. you know who you are - shape it up)
for those late to the whole 'net thing:
machinima = animation goodness created by mashing up footage from video games.
red vs blue = popular animation utilizing the halo 2 game
the amazing thing is that microsoft, while they might have their heads lodged places they should not be when it comes to operating systems, managed to get it right this time and not serve a bunch of creative smart alecks with entire too much time on their hands any sort of cease-and-desist letter. perhaps they realized, much like maxis did, that they could sell more copies if they stopped treating their customers like criminals and more like, well, intelligent, hopeful and creative human beings.
there's hope that who ever led the gaming division down this enlightened path will get promoted over the OS department. otherwise - the only folks using the m$ OS will be the drones in the suits at the office.
so, here without anymore snarkiness is red vs blue: season 1
