Red Versus Blue season two to premiere at Lincoln Center

Cory Doctorow 1:32 pm Thu Dec 18, 2003

Red Versus Blue is a series of comedy short films made by scripting avatars in the game ~~Half Life~~ Halo and recording screen-movies of the results, then adding voice-over and sound-effects, a process called "machinima." The first two episodes of the next season will be screened at Lincoln Center on January 3. That's pretty cool — it's almost as if Homestar Runner came to Carnegie Hall.

We are extremely pleased to announce that Red vs Blue Season 2 will debut on January 3, 2004 at the Lincoln Center in New York City. We're extremely honored to be invited back to this prestigious venue and we hope that any Red vs Blue fan in the area will make it to the 9:30 PM show. The plan is to show Season One in its entirety and then show Episodes One and Two of Season Two. Also, the entire cast and crew of Season One will be on hand for the event, which is a milestone in itself — we have never been in the same place at the same time. So, if you want your RvB DVD signed by the cast, this may be your one and only shot.
