Kevin's Watch

Does anyone here watch RVB?

I watched the first season. I've simply been far too lazy to get the others.

I have to go with Caboose.

EDIT-I never played Halo (much), but I liked it anyway.

TV Forum?

Not sure...it's an online TV'ish flash thingy using the xbox game halo.

It should be in here, TV, or video games, probably.

Ah...Games forum then probably. Leave it to the GD mods.

I watched the first season religiously, when it was first coming out. I felt the initial episodes of season 2 were trying too hard, so I lost interest somewhere along the way. The story just seemed to get more and more absurd, less focused on the characters. Kind of a Simpsons syndrome.

I enjoyed the exchanges between the core characters: how Church had to deal with idiots, the general confusion, the plasma grenade that got caught on Donut's head (I think it was Donut). It was a tight dynamic that got lost, I think, through an overflow of fringe characters and plot twists.

Then again, maybe it's improved. Been ages since I checked the RvB site.

Yeah that was Donut, it was when he came back from hospital that they gave him his 'light red' armor

I loved the first two seasons, got them on DVD and bought a Caboose T-shirt too. I kind of switched off when they switched to using Halo 2 and moved out of Blood Gulch. I guess a lot of the appeal for me was the pointlessness of their situation:

"It's a box canyon in the middle of nowhere, with no way in or out. We only have a red base over here because they have a blue base over there, and they only have a blue base over there because we have a red base over here."

I also thought the RVB Real Life vs. the Internet PSA was inspired.

p.s. I think this might fit best in comics and cartoons, as it's something you watch rather than play.

Ya, it was stuff like that which let me appreciate it as a general commentary on FPS video games.

If you have stopped KEEP WATCHING it gets better.


Bow-chik-a-bow-wow!

Hehe, I can't remember which was the last one I saw but I remember that one. I might pick up the next couple of DVDs at some point, I can't download any more until I get my broadband back.
