The answer to the ultimate question of “you ever wonder why we’re here” is two-fold.
In-universe, it’s because a clandestine government organization decided that these ragtag group of army rejects would amount to nothing more than expendable training dummies for their elite Freelancer soldiers, so they split them into two teams and manipulated them into thinking they were at war with each other.
Out-of-universe, it’s because 5-6 otherwise normal dudes decided to have some fun with the multiplayer of Halo: Combat Evolved and made what they thought would be a short-lived machinima about a bunch of soldiers in a box canyon in the middle of nowhere. Instead, what they created was a story that would last 21 years, inspiring other online content creators, giving levity to our troops abroad during the early years of the War on Terror, and even influencing aspects of the very Halo series itself!
That my friends, is why we were all there. Long live Rooster Teeth. Their legacy will always endure in our hearts.
Just a little under two more days until the end of Rooster Teeth. If anyone’s interested in joining me for some Halo Infinite fun on Friday or Saturday to honor the legacy of Red vs. Blue, then look for my gamer tag “Beastgun360” and message me. We’ll all miss the Reds & Blues, but at least their saga came to a satisfying close.
I just watched RvB: Restoration and it definitely worked as a finale for both Red vs. Blue and Rooster Teeth as a whole. There was one twist that had me scratching my head, but I won't spoil anything for those who still haven't seen it. Also, it looks like my previous post won't be my last one here, but rather this one. Regardless, I'll miss both RvB & RT all the same. Have fun cockbites!
To think it all began with a maroon-colored soldier asking his orange buddy if they ever wondered why they were in a box canyon in the middle of nowhere, defending their base from a bunch of blue guys in the same situation. I honestly thought that, so long as the Halo series continued, so would RvB but that was clearly not the case. I will miss Red vs. Blue and Rooster Teeth as a whole, and I hope all those involved in 21 years of magic will be successful in whatever it is they do after.
Hello all. I've been a fan of Rooster Teeth since the glory days of G4TV, when they first brought my attention to a certain Halo machinima about soldiers stuck in a box canyon in the middle of nowhere. However it wasn't until recently that I started showing interest in their other projects, as I usually didn't have time to watch anything outside RvB (though I did get to see Gen:LOCK season 1 on Toonami, which was cool) and by recently, I mean just weeks before the shutdown announcement. Since then, I created an account and have been trying to catch up on as much RT content as I can before they're lost forever. In particular, I've seen all of Camp Camp (except the last three season 5 episodes), Nomad of Nowhere (that show deserved better), caught up on some Red vs. Blue PSAs I didn't know existed along with Family Shatters, and am currently going through various Death Battle matches as well as Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy.
All in all, they produced some excellent content over the years, and I regret not joining the community sooner and showing more support for their shows until it was all but too late. As such, this will be my first and last post on this site. For a long time we all asked ourselves, "do you ever wonder why we're here?" And now, we know. May those who made all this great content find both happiness and success in the future.
