Red Vs Blue
For all of you who have seen the Halo based web-toon "Red Vs. Blue" I have a few questions. Does anyone know how they get their guns down? Mine is always being held up. 2. Does anyone know how they get different color armor? and 3. Does anyone know how they make their heads bobb up and down while they are "talking"? I would ask this on their forums, but they said they will only answer these questions in the "supporters forum".
EDIT: This is for the PC version.

first of all, red vs blue predates the PC version, so It must be done on Xbox. Colors are pretty easy to do, you just start any multiplayer game that isn't team orientated. No idea about losing the guns or the Hud information though. Maybe they just clip it out of the screen. Maybe they use the deathball option or whatever it is called.

RoQuEr - That's exactly how they do it. They cover up the bottom and top of the screen so you can't see the HUD or weapon. That's what those black bars are.

They set up multiplayer games over Xbox using Gamespy or ASE... they don't need a hacked xbox. One player acts as the camera - the hud and such are removed because they crop the top and mostly the bottom of the screen to create a widescreen look. Lowering the guns and head bobs are easily done by the "actors" looking up and down, etc...

I saw these guys on Unscrewed the other day (was just checking out the show to see how unscrewed was because i've seen the RVB) and they were talking about it. Anyway of the 2 guys, one of them seemed into it but the other guy was a complete @sshole. I can't believe they let him on the air.

They have Red vs. Blue on the current X-box demo disc at retail stores. I must say it was funny the first few times, but its gotten really annoying hearing it 50+ times a day.

I didn't think you could buy it anywhere other than their website. And the ones on the disc are just advertisements for the games on the disc Joxer. Like it has one of the guys talking about snowboarding or something and then it goes into an advertisement for a snowboarding game for the xbox. That's about it and it's not all that funny either from what i remember of watching a few. Theres 10+ little clips between the games i think
