SaturdaySaint 2003-04-20 05:55:00 PM  
I've never seen those before....but WOW Am I ever faving that page! Man that was off the hizzy fo' shizzy

 
Solzhenisin 2003-04-20 05:59:40 PM  
Had to bookmark that link.

Pure genius.

Save the eps now before the site gets farked.

 
eltownse 2003-04-20 06:14:01 PM  
Dang it I was hoping to show this to my friend. Now I have 5 hours to do it before the site gets posted.


But at least I saw it! :p

Best quote:
"Women are like Voltron - the more you can hook up, the better it gets."

That works on so many levels.


This was kinda funny, but I'm sure it'd be funnier if I knew WTF Halo and Halo 2 are...

 
recockulous 2003-04-20 06:47:55 PM  
BTW, here's a Source Tag, since these guys are now repeat visitors to Fark, and seem to be devloping a H*R-like following...

recockulous 2003-04-20 06:48:32 PM  
Ooops, maybe if I close my tag:

"The only reason that we set up a red base here is because they have a blue base over there. And the only reason they have a blue base over there is because we have a red base here."
"Yeah. That's because we're fighting each other."

 
DaCricket [TotalFark] 2003-04-20 07:27:31 PM  
Don't have quick time. Don't want quick time.

 
wldncrzy14 2003-04-20 08:04:57 PM  
What's wrong with quicktime? After disabling the tray icon, it pretty much leaves you alone (Unlike RealPlayer).

 
Quick1 2003-04-20 08:41:42 PM  
Quicktime is OK. RealPlayer however, is CRAP.

Good thing these guys use Quicktime.

 
eltownse 2003-04-20 09:38:39 PM  
I stopped using RealPlayer once it started using pop-ups on exit.

"Okay back to why are we here?"

"God??"

"No I was just asking "Why are we in this canyon?"

 
wldncrzy14 2003-04-20 09:53:20 PM  
"That's exactly it, private. War's over. We won. Turns out you're the biiig hero and we're gonna hold a parade in your honor. I get to drive the float, and Simmons here is in CHARGE OF CONFETTI!"

"..I'm no stranger to sarcasm, sir"

 
SuburbanCowboy 2003-04-20 10:44:30 PM  
Check out the Gamer Apple Switch parody ad they have up on the site too. Funy Stuff. Good Times...

 
Insane_Cellist [TotalFark] 2003-04-21 12:01:08 AM  
At least someone warned them we were coming.

 
aloner 2003-04-21 12:04:44 AM  
I definately support the red vs blue fark tag.

 
recockulous 2003-04-21 12:05:44 AM  
Sweet, their tag is much better than mine.

I had some trouble getting the downloads before this made it to main Fark - I can't imagine what their server stress is gonna be like when this hits the fan...

 
skinink 2003-04-21 12:07:21 AM  

Is there a link on that page, or does it open auto in a popup window ? I don't see nuthin'.

Oh wait a moment:


"Someone warned us that Fark was going to post a link to our site sometime tonight. Obviously, this may cause an increase in traffic. If this is your first time to the site, visit the FAQ and then the videos page. We keep the website as simple as we possibly can.

When Gabe and Tycho at Penny Arcade linked us last week, we got about 20,000 visitors in short order. Instead of letting thousands of simultaneous downloads draw Sandman's huge pipes over at o1.com down to a slow trickle, we limit the number of max FTP sessions. That way, it make take a couple tries to get a connection, but when you do, it won't be 2k. It works very well. Don't fret, the number of connections is still very healthy, it's just not unlimited.

Thanks to Drew & Co. for linking us. Maybe we can get him to give us our own fark tag:"


Sorry too much to do when I'm surfing on too many beers. Comments will probably be funnier that the site. Don't let me down Farkers !


 
Seiru 2003-04-21 12:08:41 AM  
NO! I've been waiting all day to get home, so I could download the new episode, and now FARK links to the site! Damn, now I'll never get them....

 
Pluvius 2003-04-21 12:12:41 AM  
The links to the videos appear farked, but if these are the guys who did the Apple Gamer video (as they appear to be, given the link on the video page), this has to be more than funny enough to be worth waiting for.

BTW, even Real Video is much better than Quicktime. What a horrible format.

Rob

 
Seiru 2003-04-21 12:13:02 AM  
And why is this linked to their news archive? Now no one will see their "Fark Greeting".

 
grabulsa 2003-04-21 12:14:54 AM  
I just had to retry the download a couple of times but it eventually went through and was pretty speedy. WELL WORTH THE WAIT.

 
bugdog [TotalFark] 2003-04-21 12:16:01 AM  
those guys are great, plus most of them are in Austin! Woohoo!

wldncrzy14 2003-04-21 12:20:18 AM  
"That would be the chupacabra, sir"
"Hey, Grif. Chupa-thingie, how 'bout that? I like it. Got a ring to it"

 
wldncrzy14 2003-04-21 12:20:57 AM  
Or, of course:

"Shotgun"
"Shotgun....fark"

 
photon_7 2003-04-21 12:26:36 AM  
Any mirrors out there?

 
IngramValiant 2003-04-21 12:27:13 AM  
"I know you would Simmons. Good man."

 
Gambone 2003-04-21 12:27:46 AM  
farked already.... and i actually wanted to download these after the positive comments... even tho i played halo and wasn't all that over joyed with it

 
BuzzLightyear 2003-04-21 12:30:17 AM  
a mirror sure would be nice, been trying for 20 minutes now, still can't get one of their connections.

 
Anti_Freak_Machine [TotalFark] 2003-04-21 12:32:13 AM  
I have no idea what this thread is about even after going to the site. I need a hug.

 
wldncrzy14 2003-04-21 12:34:21 AM  
I was the one who 'warned' them before it hit the main page. They said they don't like mirrors because they prefer having control of their own stuff.

 
Spanky22 [TotalFark] 2003-04-21 12:35:26 AM  
Dammit, I really want to see these. Come on, my good farkers, someone get a mirror up! You farked it, you fix it!

 
Riomp300 2003-04-21 12:41:25 AM  
this site is farked, farking amatures.

 
Kawada 2003-04-21 12:44:13 AM  
Hmmm...I had no trouble getting the files using wget. Even got transfers in the 200+ K/s range. They just cut down on the number of connections they'll allow. Keep trying and you'll eventually get through.

 
BennyBlanco 2003-04-21 12:44:46 AM  
Well I finally got a connection and I am getting 112k a sec, so I am not complaining.

 
narcoleptic_hamster 2003-04-21 12:45:22 AM  
Blah...has something to do with Halo...Have to boycott it

 
fateit 2003-04-21 12:46:08 AM  
Any chance someone has a Bit Torrent of the episodes?
I emailed RvB to see if they'd set up a Bit Torrent system
on their site, it'd stop the movie links from getting farked.

-F

 
Mongoose42 2003-04-21 12:46:29 AM  
I've been very happy with media player classic. It plays the .mov files and i don't have to have craptastic quicktime on my computer.

 
shank [TotalFark] 2003-04-21 12:52:06 AM  
Hey guys. Glad those of you who have seen the vids have been so positive. We really appreciate it. Trust me, the max connections is the way to go. It's the quickest route to unfarking our site.

FYI, FilePlanet has some of the older episodes. Collect 'em all!

RvB Trailer

RvB Episode 0

RvB Episode 1

RvB Episode 2

 
shank [TotalFark] 2003-04-21 12:55:57 AM  
By the way, I still think its faster to get the movies from our site than it is to get them from FP, but it's just a more manual process.

 
Ravedave 2003-04-21 12:57:07 AM  
How about we set this stuff up on kazaa? Cheaper on the wallet for the guys too....

Dave

 
Ravedave 2003-04-21 12:59:05 AM  
I have ep 3 intro and ep2 up cant get the rest though...

 
wldncrzy14 2003-04-21 12:59:31 AM  
I checked Kazaa and currently there's only 1 or 2 people that show up when I search for 'red vs blue' or 'rvb'. Same with E-Mule.

 
fateit 2003-04-21 01:04:07 AM  
I'm getting it on Kazaa right now from 5 differant
sources. I downloaded the full length matrix trailer
using bit torrent and it was just amazing how fast
it worked.

-F

 
Henchman 2003-04-21 01:05:32 AM  
"How about we set this stuff up on kazaa?"

Done. Except for episode 3. Getright is working on it, though...

 
SharkUW 2003-04-21 01:05:48 AM  
as soon as i get ahold of these i'm gonna serve em on some nice .edu webspace for everybody :D

 
LE_Mental 2003-04-21 01:12:05 AM  
The intro and PSA they made rocks as well.

Funny stuff, very funny stuff, fan of Halo or not, its still funny.

 
Sidi 2003-04-21 01:12:58 AM  
God I hate fileplanet.

Nearly to the point where I can actually download, and suddenly it goes back to the "file server is full" message and asks if I want to wait in line. What the fark have I been doing?
