After months of waiting, the saga finally returns.

For those unfamiliar, Red vs. Blue was a bunch of guys (and a few girls) who took the Halo series and turned it into their own virtual movie studio, developing characters and stringing along a surprisingly complex storyline over a hundred short episodes, loaded with plenty of humor. What could have gotten old fast, especially when the only visible difference between the characters is their color, was kept fresh through sharp writing and some professional quality voice acting that humbles some big studio efforts.

With all the tricks they pulled off in Halo 1 and 2, I’ve been itching to see what they can do with the Forge and the ability to record anything in Halo 3. Now the wait is almost over with the first episode of Reconstruction:

If you’re a lapsed fan who needs to catch up, a box set of the entire series complete with bonus DVD is available on their store site, along with RvB T-shirts and other assorted goodies. Even if you have all the seasons on DVD, I’d definitely recommend snagging the bonus DVD that includes Recovery One and just about everything else they recorded for Red vs. Blue that wasn’t included elsewhere. Their store is here.

While you’re there, make sure to pick up some headlight fluid.
