pwned: Red Versus Blue: An Interview
Red Versus Blue: An Interview ...

First off, Big thanks to the boys over at redvsblue.com. If it wasn't for an earlier website of theirs (www.drunkgamers.com) I wouldn't be here writing to you today. As you will read later in this interview, both Mojo and Draggy owe a lot to DG.com, and we both want to express our many debts of gratitude to them. Also, thanks goes to - Vitis Vinifera and Steenoob, who both came up with some great questions. Enough with the dick sucking though, you came here for an interview, and here you are, a drawn out 2 hour battle of wits containing some of your favorite drunks. Please, enjoy. Be forwarned. This interview is HEFTY

pr0n mojomasta: Did you guys check out the site?
drunkgfunk: What site?
pr0n mojomasta: heh
drunkbuzby: yes, it's terrible.
DragonEdgeMN: HAHAHA
DragonEdgeMN: brutal honesty
pr0n mojomasta: www.kyledurepos.com/blog
DragonEdgeMN: its Mojo’s
drunkgfunk: I know
pr0n mojomasta: The site you're being interviewed for.
drunkbuzby: I was kidding.
DragonEdgeMN: me, Vitis, Holt, Steenoob, and some other bastards all write for it.
drunkgfunk: I am kidding
drunkbuzby: I like Steenoob's cartoon.
drunkgfunk: yeah.
drunkbuzby: It's a good addition.
drunkgfunk: ditto.
pr0n mojomasta: Yeah he's a kickass artist.
drunkgfunk: Site is good,  but dumb dragon.
DragonEdgeMN: Yeah, get rid of me Mojo.
drunkgfunk: He's bad news.
pr0n mojomasta: I'm waiting for Vitis to write some more stuff for it.
drunkbuzby: Blog sites alone stink, cartoon sites alone stink. BUT when you get your chocolate in someone else's peanut butter -- it's good.
pr0n mojomasta: There is Holt and Vitis writing sophisticated shit for the site.
Steenoob: Thanks for the compliments.
pr0n mojomasta: See it's not even a blog.
Steenoob: :-)
pr0n mojomasta: Rofl
pr0n mojomasta: it's just the name of the folder I moved it to.
pr0n mojomasta: and I'm too lazy to move it again.
drunkgfunk: Someone re-invite gus.
drunkgfunk: I don’t know how.
drunkbuzby: Yes, our site was just gamers.com but we had it in the drunk folder.
DragonEdgeMN: what’s guS’ SN?
drunkgfunk: DrunkguS.
drunkbuzby: invited.
pr0n mojomasta: gj
DrunkguS has entered the room.
pr0n mojomasta: wb
drunkbuzby: Hold on need to start a render
DragonEdgeMN: is it alright now guS?
drunkbuzby: brb.
drunkgfunk: Christ.
pr0n mojomasta: So, just lemme know when you're ready, and I'll drop the bomb.
DrunkguS: No, I still can't tell who is saying what.
DrunkguS: But I’ll deal.
drunkgfunk: Seriously mojo, I like the site.
DragonEdgeMN: I hope none of you are sober.
pr0n mojomasta: Thanx gfunk.
drunkgfunk: Glad you seem to have people excited about writing for it.
drunkgfunk: Specially since you don’t have a gus to put up with.

drunkgfunk: Hope it stays that way.

drunkgfunk: It’s the hardest part.

pr0n mojomasta: There gus I’m homosexual.
 DrunkguS: fag.
DragonEdgeMN: Red will be me.
DragonEdgeMN: DE.
 pr0n mojomasta: gfunk, it must be my thousandth attempt at a site.
drunkgfunk: And keep (the writers)in line.
pr0n mojomasta: It's the first time it gets anywhere.
DragonEdgeMN: I already despise working for Mojo’s website.
drunkgfunk: hehe!
pr0n mojomasta: yeah I love you too draggy.
drunkgfunk: I think we've all had many, many attempts
drunkgfunk: gus used to run a blue oyster cult fan site
DragonEdgeMN: BREAKING STORY!
pr0n mojomasta: yup. funny thing is I found people that I can actually work with on the internet. My irl friends are worthless for stuff like this.
DragonEdgeMN: that’s interview gold!
pr0n mojomasta: the interview hasn’t started yet fucktoast.
DragonEdgeMN: doesn’t matter. (this is backstory pre-luding the interview, be happy you are reading it!!!)
drunkbuzby: I’m back
pr0n mojomasta: wb
DragonEdgeMN: We are in color for guS' sake
DrunkguS: Don't bother, I don't know who is what color.
pr0n mojomasta: So, yes, just let me know when you're ready to start.
DragonEdgeMN: MOJO = pink
pr0n mojomasta: MOJO IS BOLD PINK AND UNDERLINED
drunkbuzby
: Ready
drunkgus: so I'm gonna be an ass to everyone
DragonEdgeMN: DE = red.
drunkbuzby: gogogogogo
DragonEdgeMN: Alright!
pr0n mojomasta: cept not really tho
drunkgfunk
: This is gonna be a disaster.
pr0n mojomasta: Allrighty.
drunkgfunk
: :-)
pr0n mojomasta: Lets rock.
drunkbuzby
: ready up, gus!
pr0n mojomasta: First things first: Cake or pie.
drunkgfunk
: Cake, it was always cake
DrunkguS: Cake for sure
drunkbuzby: Gotta be pie.
drunkgfunk: sigh…
DragonEdgeMN: ALL right!
DragonEdgeMN: What really happened with DG, remember you are under oath.
drunkgfunk: Who wants to take this one?
DrunkguS: Alcohol,
DragonEdgeMN: The lack of?
DrunkguS: And a cell-phone.
drunkbuzby: I have explained it a couple of times.
drunkgfunk: gus nailed it.
drunkbuzby: I would like to hear someone's else’s take.
DragonEdgeMN: We want the truth!
drunkgfunk: There were a lot of reasons-
drunkgfunk: The nice one is this:
drunkgfunk: We were tired. We were running out of motivation and steam,
drunkgfunk: and we didn’t want to have the site descend to the level of the rest of the Internet.
drunkgfunk: So we had an opportunity (involving a cell-phone and liquor) and took it.
DrunkguS: Plus, I never pass up an opportunity to insult everyone possible.
drunkgfunk: Right,
drunkgfunk: the site was a strain,
drunkgfunk: or becoming one.
drunkgfunk: And it wasn’t as important as friendships-
DrunkguS: (that sounds so gay)
drunkgfunk: It’s true though jackass.
pr0n mojomasta: Well, better to let the site go out with a bang, like that fox show about nothing, then let it die when it was already dead. So Buzby. What exactly is your yo?
drunkbuzby
: I will go with that,
drunkbuzby: my yo.
drunkbuzby: Right now, RvB is my yo.
drunkbuzby: Actually, I will say just about anything to get people to stop asking me that.
drunkbuzby: What was that? my title?
DragonEdgeMN: Yeah…

drunkgfunk: That one backfired for sure.
pr0n mojomasta: Backfired? Thats an understatement.
drunkbuzby
: It's fitting. I could never come up with creative titles for anything.
DragonEdgeMN: You realize that one will follow you to your Internet grave...
drunkbuzby: RedvsBlue is the best title I have ever thought of.
drunkbuzby: I worked on a movie for over a year of my life
drunkbuzby: It's all about a guy who gets a job as Death's assistant.
drunkbuzby: I named it The Schedule. That has to be the worst title ever.
 drunkbuzby: IMDB actually changed the title of my movie for me. http://us.imdb.com/Name?Bu rns,+Burnie

DragonEdgeMN: Anyways, Geoff- The laid back drunk, the man of a thousand dogs, or as I know him, a tattooed freak who never sent me a godamned DG mug.  What are you doing now-a-days to keep your mind off of guS' departure?

drunkgfunk: I drink heavily,

drunkgfunk: and play out of date ps2 games,
drunkgfunk: and work on RvB when there is something to do (which is rare - buzby does it all.)
DragonEdgeMN: Animals, alcohol, gaming, anything else?
drunkgfunk: bmx
DrunkguS: Liar-
drunkgfunk: sigh
drunkgfunk: bmx and skateboarding,
drunkgfunk: lots of punk shows,
drunkgfunk: I go to the dog park every day.
pr0n mojomasta: love interest?
drunkgfunk: No,
drunkgfunk: not since I got married.
pr0n mojomasta: ehehe
pr0n mojomasta: pixplzkthx
drunkgfunk: haha!
drunkbuzby: here's a pic of his wife --> >:o

drunkgfunk: doh

pr0n mojomasta: Gus, have you ever been recognized in public for your work in the switch parody?
drunkgfunk: Answer gus!
DrunkguS: Twice actually. Both times were extremely awkward. I've decided meeting people in person who enjoy reading/watching things I do on the Internet is not a high priority in life.
 drunkbuzby: Nerds love gus.
drunkgfunk: He signed autographs at Fry’s!
drunkbuzby: Except nerd girls.
DrunkguS: (asshole)
DrunkguS: Yeah, i signed an autograph in the parking lot of Fry's
drunkbuzby: I am actually the worst typer of the bunch. (editing this interview was a very tough process and required forty  ounce’s of malt liquor)
drunkbuzby: I type with two fingers.

DrunkguS: The guys had a spindle of burned CDs with the switch parody on them.
drunkgfunk: For a guy in a "j00 d34d f00" shirt
DrunkguS: Haha, yeah that's right!
DrunkguS: And the other guy wanted me to go to QuakeCon with him the next weekend.
pr0n mojomasta: I was brought to the site thanks to the switch ad. I thought gus was going to be friendly. Then I talked to him on aim. Then I realized, I was wrong.
drunkgfunk: Very wrong.
drunkbuzby: Yes. gus is an ass.
DrunkguS: Thank you. I try.
DragonEdgeMN: Is he really as angry in person, as he is behind a computer screen?
drunkgfunk: More.
drunkbuzby: That's not a facade.
drunkgfunk: Try driving with him
drunkbuzby: Try taking him to Vegas.
drunkgfunk: Hahahaa!
drunkbuzby: VEGAS BABY!
DrunkguS: And he's sexier in person,
DrunkguS: hahahaha!
DrunkguS: I'M NOT GOING TO VEGAS!
DragonEdgeMN: Why not Vegas?

drunkgfunk: Oh Christ.
drunkgfunk: Someone tell the story…
 drunkbuzby: Has anyone ever told that whole story?
drunkgfunk: *getting more whiskey*
drunkbuzby: You guys better spell check this.
drunkbuzby: OK, I will take this one.
DrunkguS: I may interject with the truth if need be.
drunkbuzby: We were at E3 in 2001. DG has just started.
drunkbuzby: All that was up was a picture of a cat.
drunkbuzby: I just went along as a friend. I was not a writer for DG back then,
drunkbuzby: I remember we played Blood Gulch, Halo for the first time.
drunkbuzby: gus had a "press" pass for a site that only had 4 unique hits.
drunkbuzby: We spent most of our time at the margarita stand,
drunkbuzby: E3 is very over rated.
 DrunkguS: (For the record, coming back from the margarita machine, I found the press pass on the floor)
drunkgfunk: $8 margaritas
drunkbuzby: Well, I was drunk so there you go.
drunkbuzby: $8 WINE margaritas,
drunkbuzby: not even tequila.
drunkbuzby: So that night we got the van (yes ladies, a rental van)
drunkbuzby: and we went to Del Taco.
drunkbuzby: In the middle of East Compton or some such,
drunkbuzby: when  we realized that Vegas was only four hours away.
drunkbuzby: So I said "Let's go to Vegas!"
drunkbuzby: gfunk said "Woo Hoo."
drunkbuzby: gus said "I am not going to Vegas and THAT'S FINAL"
drunkbuzby: It was a quick descent to hell from there..
drunkbuzby: Naturally we began telling gus that he was indeed going to Las Vegas, NV.
drunkbuzby: He said "If you say VEGAS one more time, I am getting out of the van"
drunkbuzby: (in the middle of compton)
DrunkguS: (at night)
DrunkguS: (and while drunk)
drunkbuzby: like 1:00 AM,
drunkgfunk: (hookers on the street)
drunkbuzby: And no tacos yet.
drunkbuzby: So I said "If you do not want go to Vegas, we won't go."
drunkbuzby: Adios, guS.
drunkbuzby: He was gone-
drunkbuzby: Opened the side door and literally -- literally -- ran off screaming into the night
drunkbuzby: gfunk can take it from there.
drunkgfunk: Ok,
drunkgfunk: we went on with our night.
drunkbuzby: yep
drunkgfunk: Drinking and such
drunkgfunk: and when we came back to the hotel,
drunkgfunk: there was a note on the bed-
drunkgfunk: "See you in Austin - gus"
drunkbuzby: gus has terrible penmanship.
drunkgfunk: He went down the street and got another hotel.
DrunkguS: It's true.
drunkgfunk: He couldn’t get a flight back home,
drunkbuzby: DOWN THE STREET!
pr0n mojomasta: uh, why didn’t gus want to go to Vegas?
drunkbuzby: good question, sir

drunkgfunk: So we all had to *kind of* make up.
 drunkgfunk: It was a rough trip from that point on. Not a lot of talking.
drunkgfunk: Oh. Should we get into the next day?
DrunkguS: I was drunk and in a bad mood.
drunkbuzby: I yelled at a gas station man.
drunkgfunk: YelleD,
drunkgfunk: in ECHO PARK!
drunkbuzby: He made me pre-pay,
drunkbuzby: white people don't pre-pay. That’s a fact.
drunkgfunk: We agreed to pick up gus the next day. But we couldn’t find the fucking hotel.
drunkgfunk: We drove around for 1.5 hrs.
drunkgfunk: Buzby lost it.
drunkbuzby: That’s accurate 1.5 hours in a van looking for gus.
drunkgfunk: Buzby made us drop him off at E3.
(editing this has made me open up another forty, never agree to edit something that took 2 hour’s and was a typed conversation between admitted drunks, anyways on with the story…)

DrunkguS: Mind you, I had to stand on Santa Monica boulevard with my suitcases for 1 and a 1/2 hours doing NOTHING!
drunkbuzby: Poor baby
drunkgfunk: Fucking nightmare
drunkbuzby: you could have been eating comped breakfast in Vegas, you baby.
drunkgfunk: Steak!
DrunkguS: That's not what you said.
drunkgfunk: Eggs!
drunkbuzby: VEGAS BABY!
drunkgfunk: (Here we go again)
DrunkguS: You said "we'll go to vegas and come right back,"
DrunkguS: Haha -
DrunkguS: Anyway, that's in the past.
drunkbuzby: Danfast would have gone.
drunkgfunk: One more thing,
drunkgfunk: When we got back to Austin,
drunkgfunk: gus had someone pick him up, cause he didn’t want to ride with us,
drunkgfunk: baby.
drunkbuzby: Can I point something out?
DrunkguS: I don't think we talked for two weeks after that.
drunkgfunk: at least
drunkbuzby: you change one or two details and this is the same answer to why DG died.
drunkgfunk: Haha.
DrunkguS: Oh man, I'm seriously LOLing over here.
drunkbuzby: Except skylock is the gas station guy.
drunkbuzby: and Nylar is the van.
drunkgfunk: The moral is, E3 will destroy your friendships, don’t go.
pr0n mojomasta: Noted.
DrunkguS: Although Galaxies won game of the show,
DrunkguS:  and that was 2 years ago.
drunkgfunk: In 2k1.
drunkbuzby: And PlanetSide looked great!
DrunkguS: And it still won't be out by this E3,
DrunkguS: and we PLAYED planetside.
drunkgfunk: Halo looked like shit!
DrunkguS: Halo ran at about 15 fps.
drunkbuzby: Yeah we ragged it!
drunkgfunk: We laughed at it.
DrunkguS: Do you remember, the "Xboxes" were just computers.
drunkbuzby: Gamecube won that show hands down.
drunkgfunk: Spiderman on the gba looked better.
pr0n mojomasta: Now, where do you three stand with the entire Cipater issue from the boards? Hows things with her today?

DrunkguS: I'm not answering that question.
drunkgfunk: I will
drunkbuzby: OK,
drunkgfunk: She wont talk to us-
drunkgfunk: and we don’t wanna talk to her.
drunkgfunk: It was fucked up what happened.
drunkbuzby: I don't agree,
drunkbuzby: I don't know her that well.
drunkgfunk: But she got mad at us,  it wasn’t our fault.
drunkbuzby: She always seemed cool to me.
drunkbuzby: Well that’s true.
drunkbuzby: She had a great conversation with her mom on her board's forum.
drunkgfunk: Yes she did.
drunkbuzby: Anyone who is that open is pretty cool in my book.
drunkbuzby: I won't even put my picture up.
drunkgfunk: For the record, I thought she was a great girl.
drunkbuzby: Awesome tits.

http://www.cipater.net/dcam.html     Not a good pic….

pr0n mojomasta: Mind quickly recapping what happened? I for one didn’t experience it. Only heard about it.
drunkgfunk: Haha,
drunkgfunk: yeah,
drunkgfunk: Orion led a moron brigade to harass her for nude pics-
drunkgfunk: that was it.
drunkbuzby: It’s going to seem dumb after what I just said, but she got offended by our group of idiots.
drunkbuzby: She got pissed and took it out on gus for some reason.
drunkgfunk: Yup.
pr0n mojomasta: She got offended by a bunch of horny nerds on the internet, THEN blamed it on gus?
drunkgfunk: And don’t nobody abuse my gus!
drunkbuzby: The readers were at fault (well really Orion), but she could have handled it better.
drunkgfunk: It was a shitty situation all the way around. Sexual harassment is not funny kids.
pr0n mojomasta: True. But it can be so funny!

drunkbuzby: It was more than that though,
drunkbuzby: didn’t steenoob PS a naked photo of her?
drunkgfunk: ahem. stenoob?
DragonEdgeMN: I think he is masturbating, anyways
drunkbuzby: I can't believe how dumb our guys were.
drunkgfunk: yeah
drunkbuzby: You have a cool, good looking girl posting alongside a bunch of goons and the decide to chase her away. Very dumb.

DragonEdgeMN: Do any of you still go drunk sailing?
drunkgfunk: Not currently.
DrunkguS: I’m trying to start back up
drunkgfunk: It's the off season in Austin.
drunkgfunk: gus and I will for sure next time we see each other.

(guS is living in Puerto Rico right now)
 DrunkguS: Hence my trip to the flea market this past Saturday (where I picked up a virtual boy and two games for $3)
drunkgfunk: We did it for a year before we started it for DG (Drunk Sailing that is, I think)
drunkbuzby: I never went once.
DrunkguS: In fact
drunkgfunk: we are hardcore drunk sailors
DrunkguS: I have one last DS that was never posted on drunkgamers.com
drunkgfunk: Yeah?
DrunkguS: It's the one with the gauntlet game gfunk.
drunkgfunk: ohhhh…
drunkgfunk: Right!
DrunkguS: Neato (Neato Burrito) actually went on that one.
drunkgfunk: When I had to go to work.
DragonEdgeMN: Gus, if Buzby would have went DS'ing, would you have gone to Vegas with him?
DrunkguS: Timeline is backwards buddy. DS didn't exist till a year after Vegas
DragonEdgeMN: But afterwards,
DrunkguS: No
DrunkguS: gus doesn't return favors.
drunkgfunk: gus is too stubborn. He doesn’t cut deals.
drunkbuzby: Its true.
DragonEdgeMN: Hence the lack of a sex life-
drunkbuzby: he just takes and takes.
drunkgfunk: bingo!
DrunkguS: I haven't written anything for our websites ever.
DrunkguS: But somehow I’m still involved,
DrunkguS: go figure.
(Editing this shit SUCKS! Fuck  you MOJO you lazy assed bastard)

drunkgfunk: Haha!
drunkgfunk: You are the idea for the new psa episode!
DrunkguS: Now that gfunk can set up movable type, I’m not needed anymore
drunkgfunk: The secret one.
drunkgfunk: That we cant talk about.

drunkbuzby: lets talk about hot girls some more
pr0n mojomasta: I heart movable type
drunkgfunk: word,
drunkgfunk: I need you gus.
drunkbuzby: gus went to math camp with a smoking hot chick.
drunkgfunk: Who is now a lesbian!
drunkgfunk: and a roller derby chick
drunkgfunk: AND,

drunkbuzby: she's into roller derby now.
DrunkguS: She wasn't that smoking hot back then
 drunkbuzby: Funny you know who I am talking about..
DrunkguS: she's the only girl from math camp you know
drunkbuzby: gus is at CAMP with a HOT CHICK and he is busy sticking peanut butter under tables.
pr0n mojomasta: Anyway. Red Vs Blue. How the hell did that happen?

pr0n mojomasta: AND
pr0n mojomasta: who's your favorite porn star?
drunkgfunk: My and was (she was on an episod eof insomnica with dave atell)
drunkbuzby: Was that English?
drunkgfunk: Sorry,
drunkgfunk: my dogs were fighting.
DragonEdgeMN: i dunno but it made me laugh.
Drunkgus: Oh yeah...I don't think that episode has aired yet
pr0n mojomasta: Lemme rephrase that.
pr0n mojomasta: *sigh*
drunkgfunk: The hot chick is gonna be on insomniac with dave attell.
drunkgfunk: Sorry.
pr0n mojomasta: What inspired you to create red vs blue.
DrunkguS: buzby
drunkgfunk: buzby...
drunkbuzby: My favorite porn star is Bill Clinton, he made me more money that any other person who has sex on TV.
drunkbuzby: You want me to answer this?
drunkbuzby: It all started with the Halo vids.
DrunkguS: Well, you inspired me to do it (with a gun, to my head)
drunkbuzby: We did one a week on DG,
drunkbuzby: but they were all gameplay vids,
drunkbuzby: which got old.
pr0n mojomasta: I remember that
drunkbuzby: Halo.bungie.org had a bunch of movies linked.
drunkbuzby: I just got to thinking one day and the seed of an idea started.
drunkbuzby: That idea is actually the whole premise for Episode 2.
drunkbuzby: I would talk it over with people at DG,
drunkbuzby: geoff and gus understood it, no one else seemed to.
drunkbuzby: Then Bungie announced the Halo2 trailer,
drunkbuzby: so I made the RvB trailer and just did the two lines of dialogue with gus and gfunk at end.
drunkbuzby: Thats why the trailer is so different than all of the other vids.
drunkbuzby: The switch from DG to RvB was a bunch of things.
drunkbuzby  The switch vid was the most popular thing we ever did.
drunkbuzby: That was nuts.
drunkbuzby: We all have our favorite articles, but that thing just spun out of control.
drunkbuzby: It was on techTV.
drunkbuzby: It was in magazines.
drunkgfunk: It was on French TV.
DrunkguS: French-Canadian TV.
drunkbuzby: DG was a lot like other sites out there on the internet.  
drunkbuzby: It was hard to differentiate ourselves.
drunkbuzby: do you guys agree?
drunkgfunk: yup
DrunkguS: I think we had our shtick, but we had trouble focusing.
pr0n mojomasta: I don’t think that’s true buzby. Other sites couldn’t hold my ADD plagued attention.
drunkbuzby: we went two years and had a great audience.
DragonEdgeMN: DG was the only videogame site I ever went to.
drunkgfunk: DG required so much content…
drunkbuzby: but we did not want to charge for game reviews
pr0n mojomasta: It was the first site I visited regularly, aside from somethingawful.com
drunkgfunk: it was hard to keep up (more sex talk, wait I think they mean DG.com)
drunkbuzby: We just wanted free games.
drunkgfunk: Right!
DragonEdgeMN: Did you ever get your free games?
drunkgfunk: ...
DrunkguS: No. We got some shitty soundtrack though.
drunkbuzby: Thats a whole other story.
drunkbuzby: I won’t get into that.
DragonEdgeMN: Come on! We need content.
drunkgfunk: Not this time.
drunkbuzby: Yeah, best to leave that alone.
drunkbuzby: So, anyway DG was just not fun anymore.
drunkgfunk: Exactly.
drunkbuzby: And if you make no money, the work has to be its own reward,
drunkbuzby: and it no longer was.
DragonEdgeMN: Would you ever let an old DG staff member do a voice over for RvB? Or let them be involved in any other way?
DrunkguS: Technically we're all old DG staff members.
drunkgfunk: Right.
DrunkguS: So yes.
DragonEdgeMN: I mean, Notorious, Skylock, Onion…etc.
drunkgfunk: danfast
drunkbuzby: Here is the bottom line on that,
drunkbuzby: see if these guys agree.
drunkbuzby: When we started DG, we thought that building a staff was an indication of a strong site.
drunkgfunk: Agreed.
drunkbuzby: Getting outside the core group actually hurt us.
drunkgfunk: Agreed.
drunkbuzby: Because we built a system of review deadlines that was unenforceable.
drunkbuzby: I am talking too much.
drunkbuzby: I was actually a secondary DG player.
drunkgfunk: Where are you going with this in relation to ex staffers working on RvB?
DrunkguS: Here's the deal. As far as I know we currently have all voices cast,
DrunkguS: correct?
drunkbuzby: Yes.
DragonEdgeMN: Guest Spots?
drunkgfunk: It depends on the voice, not the person.
drunkbuzby: All episodes are written. There is no such animal.
DragonEdgeMN: A rogue covenant alien?
DrunkguS: We don't have guests. The scripts are written and done.
drunkbuzby: Unless Carmen Electra calls
DrunkguS: Or rather we don't have any uncast guests
pr0n mojomasta: that brings me to our next question. Do the characters personalities actually reflect the voice actor’s personalities?

drunkgfunk: Good question. I’d like to know the answer to it.
drunkbuzby: You asking me gfunk?
drunkgfunk: Yes.
drunkbuzby: I don't think so.
DrunkguS: Personally I’ve had trouble finding Simmons' character. Now that I've seen the rough cut for episode 2 I'm getting a better feel for him, but I don't think he's like me.
drunkbuzby: I think Church is like gus. I think of gus every time I yell at poop.
DrunkguS: HAHA!
drunkbuzby: Poop is not like Tucker,
drunkbuzby: gfunk is most like grif,
drunkbuzby: that’s the closest you will get.
drunkgfunk: I don’t know how to take that,
drunkgfunk: haha.
drunkbuzby: fyi, poop and danfast will both do voices,
drunkbuzby: they are both ex-DG.
drunkgfunk: Poop already has of course. danfast to come.
DragonEdgeMN: What kind of animation programs are you guys using? Also, what do you use to get the screen capture/video, sorry I don’t know anything about online editing.
DragonEdgeMN: It’s not even online. (I am a retard)
DrunkguS: monkeys,
DragonEdgeMN: Bah
drunkbuzby: No animation per se.
drunkbuzby: It's all done in Halo.
DragonEdgeMN: explain some of the steps, please.
drunkbuzby: Use premiere to edit everything together. Everyone uses Premiere.
drunkgfunk: What capture card are you using buzby?
drunkbuzby: I capture on a Canopus DV REX M1.

drunkbuzby: Here's an average week at the RvB HQ.
pr0n mojomasta: hehe, yeah. I dig premiere too.
drunkbuzby: I am typing too much.
drunkgfunk: But its your site
drunkbuzby: The scripts are written on Monday and Tuesday.
pr0n mojomasta: make those two fingers work!
drunkbuzby: Then on Tuesday and Wednesday night we do voice over work.
drunkbuzby: Audio gets cut together before Sunday.
drunkbuzby: Then Sunday, gfunk comes over and we make the video shot by shot
pr0n mojomasta: About how long does that take?
drunkbuzby: Sometimes we can spend 20 minutes on one shot.
drunkgfunk: Which is quite an interesting process.
drunkbuzby: The first shot of Episode one was a BITCH!

pr0n mojomasta: Yeah, how did you make that?
 drunkbuzby: Sorry mojo, trade secret.

pr0n mojomasta: People crouching and standing on a warthog?
drunkbuzby: But gus can vouch for my creativity.
DrunkguS: *Vouches.
drunkgfunk: I think I confirmed the answer on the forums. Oops,
drunkgfunk: maybe I didn’t.
pr0n mojomasta: You made towers with soldiers didn’t you?
pr0n mojomasta: Tease.
pr0n mojomasta: Oh, I know, a ghost then.
DrunkguS: With a little creativity you can really do a lot of great things in game in halo.
pr0n mojomasta: Actually two ghosts…

drunkbuzby: It  will be on the DVD.

drunkbuzby: All answers are wrong.

DrunkguS: You just have to sit down and think about it.
pr0n mojomasta: One plows the other up…
drunkgfunk: (mojo - not even close)

DragonEdgeMN: How many hours do you think it takes for one episode of RvB?
 drunkbuzby: DE, it takes about 40 hours per episode right now
 drunkbuzby: It takes about 30 minutes to render each version of the edit alone.
drunkbuzby: That’s a big pain.
drunkgfunk: To give an example, the first PSA,
drunkgfunk: It took buzby and I, 4 hours to do video alone.

drunkbuzby: Stop guessing mojo. Buy the DVD cheapskate.
DrunkguS: Plenty of people email us offering to do rendering for us though...
  pr0n mojomasta: I'm gonna warez it. Buying is so overrated. J
DragonEdgeMN: There is already a haxed version on Kazaa.. 
drunkgfunk: Hah!
drunkgfunk: The dvd will be worth buying.
pr0n mojomasta: I'll buy the dvd only if there’s drunksailing on it.
DragonEdgeMN: I will personally buy anything you guys have to sell.
DragonEdgeMN: especially a mug...

drunkgfunk: bingo!
pr0n mojomasta: omfg k I’m sold. ;-)
drunkbuzby: I'll buy the dvd only if theres drunksailing on it.
drunkbuzby: hmmmmm.
DrunkguS: We can throw in uglyinternet shirts.
DrunkguS: Haha!
drunkbuzby: That’s funny.
drunkgfunk: It would help clean out my garage.
drunkbuzby: I actually got my start with these guys back in UI days.
drunkbuzby: I was making vids back then in a way too.
drunkbuzby: Did that Sims thing
DrunkguS: While unpacking here, I found I 5 uglyinternet shirts.
drunkgfunk: Oh yeah?
DragonEdgeMN: Sims Video?
DrunkguS: I forgot about that.
drunkbuzby: Made Sims out of gus and gfunk.
drunkgfunk: yup
 DragonEdgeMN: HAHAHA how long did they stay alive?
drunkgfunk: I kicked Gus’s ass!
drunkbuzby: That was first thing I ever did for the DG guys.
DrunkguS: I died baking a cake for the house.
drunkbuzby: yeah, that's right!
DrunkguS: :-(
drunkbuzby: I think they got married at some point and
drunkgfunk: Ouch.
drunkbuzby: adopted a baby.
drunkgfunk: Why’d you have to bring that up.
drunkbuzby: Then gfunk burned the house to the ground.
pr0n mojomasta: Anyway, how are you guys planning on making this site WORK? I mean, it's been featured in Computer Gaming World and it's on Halo.bungie.org, but what else, what’s next?
drunkgfunk: Well,
