This is the first episode of the widely popular "Red Vs. Blue" machinima series. It was made using the Halo graphis engine, and is considered the most famous machinima series to date. Produced by Rooster Company, RvB is now in it's 4th season.The RvB short films give you a glimpse inside the day to day life of these space soldiers featured in game. Rather than following the games protagonist through whom the single player game is experience, RvB focuses on a rag tag group of soldiers who spend their time philosophizing, and playing pranks on each other, while they wait for their next battle. The battle of course never comes, and we are left with a new, very humorous perspective on the Halo universe.

This website was the focal point of an extended viral marketing campaign produced by 4orty2wo Entertainment for the promotion of the Halo 2 video game.  The site hosts the 10-hour audio drama created in conjunction with the campaign.

In this November 4, 2004 New York Times article Noah Shachtman discusses the strong appeal of Halo 2's viral marketing experience called "I Love Bees".  In it, internet users followed clues and solved puzzles to locations across the United States to gain access to a 10 hour audio drama (now located at ilovebees.com/humptydumpty.html).  The interactive element of the game increased with time, and listeners could have live conversations with "Melissa", an enigmatic character in the drama, after successfully solving some puzzles.
