h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Entry: Red vs Blue - A1138204
Author: goweb - U220126

The RVB community seem to think this article is finished, so I am submitting it to Peer Review. Discuss.

Hi goweb

My only concern with this is I have no idea what it's about from reading the article. You give a few links, but it's not a self contained article. You could maybe flesh out what Red vs Blue is for ignorant folk like wot I am....

It's a tv program (animation?) I can see that much, but you assume far too much of the reader.

Howdy...

I think you need to provide a little more background for this entry. Maybe you could also talk about the creators, too.

Also, there are a couple of first person references which will have to be rewritten before it can be considered for inclusion in the EG.

Cheers!

I hope that's better now. One of the first person references is deliberate, though (it's kinda their motto).

It's getting better, but I think it needs a bit more. I don't know anything about RVB, though, so I can't be more specific than that.

Cheers!

Im still not entirly sure what RVB is... maybe you need to describe some of the main characters, or give a bit more depth into what the plot is. And, i may be just being dense, and sorry if i am! but im not sure what a game engine is...

I can't ruin the RVB plot for you
I've added a bit of background on the people behind it.

Hi Goweb,

are you still working on this article?

I see you haven't posted on h2g2 in a while.

The author has, near as makes any difference, Elvised.

I propose a move to the Flea Market.


Geggs

Seconded.

Still here - just a bit busy.

It's *still* in PR.

Well, last time I proposed moving it out of PR goweb popped up again. Maybe it will work again.

I propose moving the entry to the Flea Market.

*waits to listen for signs of life*

It's a shame if nothing on the RvB phenomenon goes into the guide from this.

I *did* have a gander at the entry ages ago, and ended up d-loading every episode from their website, it's pretty funny.

Basically, it's a comedy series in short episodes produced by using a video game graphic engine. It was thought up and created by a few guys who made it available to be downloaded free from their website.

Basically, it's a vid-game p*ss take, and a good 'un.

If this ends up in the Flea market, maybe i'll take it on...

Well as the last thing we heard from goweb for months and months was them saying, "I'm still here", before promptly disappearing again. I think we can send this one to the Flea Market for you Spiff

Seconded!

I've been busy watching the second series (out now!)

I've got to agree with goweb about giving anything away, but there has to be a better way to describe the humor and enjoyment to be found in viewing the RvB episodes than what's been posted so far.
There are at least 8 characters who could be named, and giving away a few plot points won't kill anyone--it might make more people take a chance on a download, or ordering one of the dvds of the season (1 available so far) or a nifty t-shirt. They're
If you need more info about the series, it can be found in the FAQ on their site, and more can be accessed through interviews the Rooster Teeth Crew has done with various websites. For example, the series is scripted first, then 'shot' by playing multiplayer in the Xbox game Halo, on the mp map called Blood Gulch (one of the most popular maps in the game) and recorded as it's played. Editing comes next, then the voiceover work to make the show complete. At some point in that process they add in necessary special effects, but those are few nad far between.
Hope that helps.

There's also an interview with one of the creators available, so I may pinch some stuff from that.

Still here...
