Do you watch any machinima?

Verbatim · July 14, 2015, 10:00:21 PM

I was looking through my old YouTube favorites when I rediscovered a few episodes of Freeman's Mind. I was like, "Oh, I loved this show. Haven't watched in years. I wonder if he ever completed it?"

Turns out, he did. Currently on a binge-watch of it right now <_<
It's as good as ever.

But then it occurred to me--do people even watch machinima anymore?... When I think about it, it seems so... 2007.

I've only ever watched two series all the way through: Freeman's Mind (which I'm in the process of completing) and this SSBM machinima called Smashtasm, which... watching the episodes nowadays is pretty cringeworthy. I can't believe I ever liked it.

How about you guys? I know Halo was super prevalent in the machinima community--especially with Red vs. Blue, but I could never get into that boring-ass crap.

Edit:
Also, this probably belongs in Gaming, now that I think about it.

Halo 3 Matchmaking and Gmod Idiot Box (if that counts).

I thought red vs blue was amazing as a kid but I watched it like a year ago and thought to myself "why did I ever find this entertaining"

True Turquoise · July 14, 2015, 10:05:51 PM

Not anymore.

There's nothing interesting, or, I haven't looked in years.

RvB
Arby and the Chief

Thats it.

Ásgeirr · July 14, 2015, 10:06:27 PM

Never did

Azumarill · July 14, 2015, 10:08:35 PM

nah not really. i grew out of it a long time ago.

Elai · July 14, 2015, 10:12:27 PM

I can't say I ever have. I mean, I've seen my fair share of RvB, but the only time I ever enjoyed it was when it evolved past the machinima-esque stuff into more CGI (Season 7 IIRC is when they introduced the A.I. story arc).

I just finished the first episode of Freeman's Mind. Not sure what it's really about, though.

Edit: I've seen highlights from Arby N' the Chief, too.

Oh my God, he finished Freeman's Mind?

I occasionally go back and re-watch some old favourites, but nowhere near to the extent I did between 2007 and 2011.

Miia · July 14, 2015, 10:20:59 PM

I liked RvB back when it was funny, and Arby n the Chief was good

DAS B00T x2 · July 14, 2015, 10:23:56 PM

Not since like... 2008.

Korra · July 14, 2015, 10:26:48 PM

You watch Freeman's Mind too? Cool!

Yeah, I used to watch This Spartan Life, the Codex and Arby n The Chief (half-machinima half-live action).

Still watching Red vs. Blue.

Solonoid · July 14, 2015, 10:27:13 PM

I really don't any more.
I used to be a huge fan of RvB, and but fuck I haven't seen any of the episodes since like my sophomore year in high school.
Arby 'n' the Chief had some machinima elements, though it was mostly action figures, and it's to this day one of my favourite youtube series.

Also, there is a machinia series I used to watch that was actually quite good called The Unsociables, despite its lackluster title.
But I don't really subscribe to machinima as a production method, as with anything, it could be good, or it could be god awful.

Saw this one series called roots, a real comedy act that one.

A Puppy in Halo 3 is still my favorite Machinima

Mat Cauthon · July 15, 2015, 03:25:21 AM

Not in a long time, I was thinking about rewatching a couple of Halo ones I remember yesterday though.

A Cheese Potato · July 15, 2015, 05:54:07 AM

The only one I ever watched was Arby n the Chief

I used to watch digital ph33r's videos, but not in a while.

Rinev · July 15, 2015, 07:08:42 AM

I catch up with RvB every now and again, but other than that I don't.

Mr. Psychologist · July 15, 2015, 08:43:02 AM

RvB and Arby n the Ch33f and occasionally the odd episode of something else. I lost interest in RvB midway through the freelancer stuff which was cool and all but I think that the reason I gave up was the site design which basically fucked anyone over who wasn't a subscriber (money) and they stopped putting it up on youtube as well so I couldn't really be bothered to go to another website that ran like ass for it <_<

Arby n the chief I watched to the end but since then I haven't watched any machinima stuff. I prefer animated ones like Battlefield Friends (10/10 favourite internet series) nowadays.

battlefield friends is hilarious, especially since I'm a noob at battlefield and do everything the guy who's an idiot does
