Gus: I didn't see you there. I'm Gus Sorola from Rooster Teeth Productions. You may know us as gentleman-adventurers and purveyors of fine machinima. What you may not know is when we first created the award-winning comedy series Red vs. Blue, we were actually quite displeased with the results. Sure, the public loved the hilarious performances, like this one:

Simmons: Hey

Grif: Yeah

Simmons: You ever wonder why we're here?

Gus: Fantastic acting? Yes. But there just seemed to be something missing. For instance in this scene:

Simmons: What?

Gus: Terrible. And take a look at this one:

Grif: Uh-hm?

Gus: Embarrassing. But now thanks to advances in video game technology, we are finally able to create a version of Red vs. Blue Episode One that truly lives up to our creative genius. How, you might ask? Well, I could tell you, but why don't I just show you? Let's take a look back at the completely true history of the creation of Red versus Blue.

1983

Geoff: Take that, yes!

Burnie: Hey dude, how's it going?

Geoff: What's up bro?

Burnie: Hey, not much. I just read that book Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Geoff: Oh yeah, been meaning to pick that up.

Burnie: Yeah there's no way all that stuff's gonna happen by next year.

Geoff: No.

Burnie: Hey what are you doing?

Geoff: I'm playing this, uh, 'video game'. This is awesome!

Burnie: Yeah, it's pretty cool. Hey we can use this to make movies!

Geoff: Really?

November 2001

Burnie: I saw a movie 2001 yesterday.

Geoff: Yeah?

Burnie: No way all that stuff's happening by the end of next month.

Geoff: Hey, what you think about this game?

Burnie: It's cool. What's it called, Halo?

Geoff: Halo, yeah.

Burnie: Hey, you know, we can use this to make movies.

Geoff: Yeah, we can totally use this to make movies.

Burnie: It's my idea though.

Geoff: Well, I was here, so I get credit. My idea, too. I showed you the game.

(Burnie assaults Geoff)

Burnie: How do I jump again on this thing?

''Sometime after that Late 2003''

Burnie: It's good, yeah.

Geoff: Yeah, it's alright.

Burnie: Feels like it's missing something.

Geoff: Yeah, decent writing

And Then Finally May 2007

Burnie: This is it, man. This is what we've been talking about this whole time. This is what we've been waiting for.

Geoff: This is amazing.

Burnie: Geoff man, I know it hasn't always been easy, man. I know it's been some ups and downs, and I didn't always treat you so good, but this is what we've been waiting for, what we've been working towards all these years.

Geoff: So many years.

(Burnie assaults Geoff)

Gus: And now we present our truly realized vision: a Red vs. Blue sketch filmed entirely in Halo 3. Enjoy.
