Red vs. Blue ends tonight with episode #100

For all the fans of Rooster Teeth Production’s wacky web series Red Vs. Blue, this is a bittersweet date.

The 100th and final final episode of the comedy series that used the Halo engine to pioneer machinima – movies made out of in-game video footage – will be released this evening (June 27, 2007). This will also complete the storyline that began in 2003 and has included time travel, interspecies mating, talking bombs and all manner of animated military hijinks. Though Rooster Teeth will occasionally release Red vs. Blue specials, the 15 minute finale will be the end the series as we know it.

Red vs. Blue basically popularized the machinima genre and created a tiny empire for Rooster Teeth, allowing them to produce other game-based series including The Strangerhood (using The Sims) and 1-800-Magic (using Shadowrun) .

The finale, along with the previous episodes, can be downloaded for free at the official site. If you’ve never had occasion to catch up with Sarge, Donut and the rest of the gang, now is the perfect time.
