The finale for Rooster Teeth’s Red vs Blue: Reconstruction is now available for all to watch – and it’s a doozy. Nearly ten minutes long, it wraps up almost all loose ends in the series… almost.

Wow, sort of an odd set of creations… but it works pretty well! Over at Bungie.net, I khriz I posted a series of films that can help you test a 5.1 surround sound system – shots from different sides, sounds from various distances, ambient sounds… download ’em and give ’em a try!(Louis Wu 15:32:40 UTC)
