Hurry, hurry! Fix the tank!

One of my favorite sites to check out on the this crazy world wide web thing is www.redvsblue.com. These guys make films. Very strange films. Based off of games that they play. Specifically Halo.

Inspired, as we all were, by the "Warthog Jump" video, these guys have set out to create a series of video episodes using the Halo game as their medium. They've got a whole cast of characters (Caboose being the best, of course) engaged in a struggle for their very lives in the middle of this box canyon.

The short films they create are nothing short of brilliant. You can get into the story easily, even if you're not a fan of Halo, or games for that matter. I've introduced RvB to a diverse group of people, and they all enjoy watching this machinima unfold.

Also, the episodes are just hilarious. And so very quoteable. I dig quotes.

What makes me mention this is that they guys at RvB (the studio name is Rooster Teeth) are starting up a new series, this time based on the game "The Sims 2". More of a modern feel to this one, instead of the more scifi/miliaristic style of Red vs Blue. I can't wait to check it out. The first episode should be out now, so look around for it if you're interested.
