The good dudes over at RoosterTeeth posted a new special “Red vs Blue” video for the Machinima Europe festival. It really is kind of hilarious. Click here to go check it out. I’d like to meet these guys some day. I mean, we’re all Texans, so why not?
Also, I miss Nick and Daniel. But not really.
Well, Daniel and Nick are heading off to California today, leaving me all to my lonesome. To be honest, a small break from all The Leet World fracas will be welcome. No more of Daniel and Nick being smelly and fat in my apartment. While they’re gone, I thought I’d give you guys something to chew on. Here’s two deleted scenes from Episode Five. You might watch these and wonder “why did they cut these?”, but in reality, when it was all laid out together, the episode was just way, way too long. It’s in a completely unfinished state, as you might notice by the mono audio, green screens, and lack of color correcting.
Enjoy! Please donate!
Just a quick little update for you guys. Things are going well, and it seems that lots of people are coming to check out Episode Three, which is awesome (scroll down for it if that’s why you’re here).
Also, we’ve recently been listed as a “featured series” on Machinima.com along with other notable entries such as RedvsBlue, Pathfinders, and Civil Protection, so be sure and check it out! And, just like the title of this post indicates, I have a little present: Episode Two and Three audio outtakes.
If you’re here for Episode Two, scroll down, or go to the episodes page. So far, we’ve been hearing great things about this one- as I said before, we’re overall much happier with how it came out compared to Episode One. We’ve already started on the next installment, which should be a tad easier to film. The second episode just hit machinima.com, spikedhumor.com, and youtube, so be sure to vote for us if you feel like it. And keep spreading the word about the show.
Nick put this nifty little poster together for “Dirty Deeds”, so I thought I’d post it here, even though I already stuck it up on the forums… Click on the thumbnail for a larger version.
Stay tuned to our site, because early next week we should be putting out a small preview of Episode Three. More than just a screenshot this time.
Going to be playing some Bioshock this weekend. Very excited. Episode Two’s release kept me from opening it- but nothing will stand in my way this time!
A brief update on Episode Two: Dirty Deeds…
Last night, we filmed probably our most complicated scene we’ve filmed yet, which requires all 8 characters. The scene’s not super complicated per se, it’s just that there aren’t 8 of us. Lots of manipulation of bots, patience, and bottling up of curses is needed, but we got it done. Also, for some reason, Nick’s “camera” computer decided it didn’t like component signals, so that set us back for awhile. But now, all is ok. So far, the episode is coming along quite well, and we’ll know this weekend exactly when it’s going to be ready.
You should know, though, that we plan to release it at some point next week.
Also, you can now find us on www.machinima.com, under the “Half Life” section. Go vote for us if you like.
If you’re here for the first episode, scroll down just a tad, or go check it out at the episodes page. Just a quick update that the high definition download is up and running, and the 640 x 360 quicktime has been updated so that it looks a little smoother. It seems that most people are downloading either the flash or the smaller quicktime one anyway, so it’s all good, though we’d recommend checking out the 1280 x 720 version, as that’s how the show was originally filmed. Seriously, I didn’t realize Source could look so good once we got filming.
Also, it would be way sweet if you went and voted for us on both spikedhumor.com and metacafe.com. We should be up on machinima.com at some point, as well as gwchannel.tv (which is a very awesome CS video website).
Keep spreading the word, and if you check back here in the next couple of days, there could be a fun treat waiting (no, not episode 2, we are merely men). Episode 2 is being worked on, and should hopefully be up in about 2-3 weeks. Don’t quote me on that, though. For reals. I’ll sue.
