Well folks, today is the day: the end of
The Blood Gulch Chronicles. Rooster Teeth promises that there will be a few one-off
Red Vs. Blue episodes, but for now, the series as we know it is no more. Episode 100 is available now in all its 15 minute glory. The episode hasn't been released in embeddable format, so you might as well head over to Rooster Teeth, watch the episode, and join the already lengthy discussion. Yes, it is the end of an era. We wish the crew at Rooster Teeth the best of luck in their
new endeavors.
[Thanks, NitroFrost]

This is it folks, the end is nigh for
Red Vs. Blue, the series that brought machinima into the limelight. Later today,
Rooster Teeth will be releasing the 100th and final episode of the long running series (it began in April of 2003). The final episode will be a 15 minute affair, the longest episode Rooster Teeth has ever made. Rooster Teeth notes that there will be occasional episodes of the series in the future (some of them no doubt commissioned by Microsoft), but the story itself will end today. Chris Kohler of
Wired has written an article briefly chronicling the genesis and success of the series, giving us a "big picture" view of the series in anticipation of today's final episode. If, like us, your viewing of the series has been lax of late, you can check out the latest season at the
RvB archive.
Of all the things we've lost, we think we'll miss Caboose the most.

Episode 24 - Sweet Ride of
Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles, is available glorious HD on Xbox Live Marketplace. It weighs in at 158 MB and costs you the standard 80 Microsoft Points. Just out of curiosity, how many of you are downloading the series off of Marketplace? We usually just pick up the DVD ourselves, but then again, this is available in HD, whereas we'd need to play our Season 2 DVD
in an HD DVD drive through VGA to upscale to HD resolutions. So, we ask again, do you get your
RvB fix off of Marketplace?

The first episode of the
Shadowrun machinima by Rooster Teeth Productions that we
showed you yesterday,
1-800-Magic, is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace. As you may have saw, the production values are rather high, but that's to be expected from the RvB crew. The video weighs in at 227.59 MB, which shouldn't take too long, and getting a higher resolution version to appreciate the finer details of their work is never a bad thing. If the series was regularly added to Marketplace, and continue to be free, would you follow it on XBLM?

Only one hour left until the
Halo 3 beta goes live and the Red vs Blue gang thought they'd welcome everyone with a public service announcement. Up for download off the Marketplace (and online) is a Red vs Blue
Halo 3 PSA where the gang shows off their new look, demo some of
Halo 3's new features, and show everyone how to report a bug. And since you have nothing better to do for the next sixty minutes, give the video a download, and prepare to get excited for the new and improved
Halo 3 tea bagging.
Check out all of the X3F Halo 3 beta coverage

Major Nelson gave word that a second set of
Red vs Blue gamer pictures have hit Xbox Live Marketplace. This time, the theme is based on all the bad guys of the series, hence the name of "By the Numbers: Evil Picture Pack". For a cool 80 Microsoft Points, you get 8 pictures of "all your favorite Evil characters". So that's like, O'Malley, Wyoming and er ... six other pictures. You'll have to excuse us, we just buy the DVDs at PAX rather than watch it piecemeal. Either way, the other six favorites are featured, to be sure. Sadly no Mike Myers, though.

Red Vs. Blue may be
drawing to a close, but these guys sure are keeping busy. A new pack of
RvB gamer pics is now available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace. Dubbed the "Wacky 1 Picture Pack" the pictures have a certain ... well, wackiness to them. Our favorite though, has to be "Is it a spider?" The line is a classic. So classic in fact, that it was worked into the achievements for
Gears of War. Should you desire these images of utter silliness, they will set you back 80 Microsoft points (a mere $1 in US currency).

After posting about the new
Red vs Blue content on the Marketplace, we checked out Rooster Teeth's website and stumbled upon their latest comic. We must preface the ensuing discussion by saying that we do not support cutting off your arms or legs for the sake of gaming. But, if you so choose, we will not hold it against you. Okay, carrying on. After giving the comic a look over we surprisingly enough came away with new found knowledge. We learned that going all
Grindhouse on your extremities just for the sake of having controllers for hands may seem genius at first, but in reality it's a horrible idea. That is unless you want to be a human gamepad and have people line up to play with your hands. Then you'd be golden! She's an entertaining comic, so just go take a look at her already.

Rooster Teeth's little
Halo machinima that could
Red vs Blue is making its season one debut on the XBLM. Up for download are episodes one through five of
Red vs Blue with each episode setting you back a very reasonable 80 Microsoft points. It seems like only yesterday when we downloaded our very first episode off the internet, listening to Caboose's childish banter, tolerating Sarge's brash remarks, and that oh so pink Donut acting so ... Donut-like. Ahh the memories we have had with you
Red vs Blue and at only $1 US per episode, how can we not re-ignite the flame we once shared?

After four years of
Halo-driven machinema fun,
Red Vs. Blue is calling it quits. Burnie, of
RvB's production company, Rooster Teeth, spilled the news in a recent forum post.
Red Vs. Blue was originally launched on April 1st of 2002, and the series is fast approaching its 100th episode, which seemed like the perfect place to "call it a show."
Before all the
RvB fans cry in agony, know that Rooster Teeth has announced only the end of
The Blood Gulch Chronicles, and this doesn't signal the death of the series as a whole. Burnie assures us that questions about the series' future as well as other plans will be discussed in the in the "weeks and months to come". In the meantime, seven episodes remain in
The Blood Gulch Chronicles, one of which was released yesterday, and plenty of loose ends need tying. If you haven't been keeping tabs on the series, now may be the perfect time to catch up.

A special
Red Vs. Blue holiday video has landed on Xbox Live Marketplace. We were so busy rocking
Assault Heroes earlier that we failed to notice. There is a
Red Vs. Blue theme available as well, which will run you 150 points. We love us some
Red Vs. Blue, so you can bet we're downloading the video right now. Unfortunately, Microsoft decided to pull a Scrooge, as the video is available only to Gold members. Silver Live members will have to wait until December 20th. At least you'll get it in time for Christmas, right?
Has anyone gotten the video (or theme) yet? Is it super funny?

The second part of the "Out of Mind" miniseries from Red vs. Blue is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace. Response to the first episode was somewhat
mixed. Will this one fare better? Give it a watch and tell us what you think.

There's a new piece of Red Vs. Blue content available on Marketplace. The video is entitled "Out of Mind Part One" and is available for free. Does this mean the beginning of regular RvB content? I hope so, but I still hate Grif oh so very, very much.
Has anyone already downloaded it?
