Couldn't find a thread on this, but if there is one, feel free to point it out.
For the uninitiated, Red Vs Blue is a very popular Halo machinima (Fancy internet term for video game movie thing, basically). The original series ran for 100 episodes over five seasons, the first season's episodes averaged 3 minutes long, but time passed and longer episodes came about, the longest clocking in at 25 minutes (Episode 50, I think). The quality of the first few seasons is a little lacking - sound quality, mostly - but still very enjoyable. The RvB guys recently got to work on a Remastered Boxset with updated graphics, which can be purchased at their online store and selected retailers later this month.
Red Vs Blue is humorous, vulgar and has fun poking at the video game stereotypes. Knowledge of the Halo games series isn't needed, and I think the show can be enjoyed for those without a grounding in geek humour and such. The original five series run was all about having fun and occasionally dipping into action or serious storylines, and was very much carried by the awesomely varied and zany main characters, especially Caboose and Donut. Especially. Apart from the main episodes, a lot of Public Service Announcement videos can be found, humorous little non-canon stuff to enjoy on the side.
The original series wrapped up and a new three-part series started three years back, titled Recollections, containing seasons six, seven and eight. Season eight is one episode off finishing up the storyline as of now, and the DVD's available for purchase next week (As well as the boxset). This series follows a more actual storyline, and season eight (Red Vs Blue: Revelation) has dipped into CGI animation. Which is awesome. Episodes can be found online to watch as well:

For the newbies, it's recommended to watch the series in this order: Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4, Red Vs Blue: Out of Mind miniseries, Season 5, Red Vs Blue: Recovery One miniseries, Red Vs Blue: Reconstruction (Season 6), Red Vs Blue: Relocated miniseries, Red Vs Blue: Recreation (Season 7) and Red Vs Blue: Revelation (Season 8). 134 episodes have aired as of now in the main series.
So yeah, I figured that it was about time this little internet show got it's props here at Gateworld, so even if it's just me appreciating it, that's cool! For those caught up with the series:
