Great Post! But you posted it in the wrong forum. I think this would be better in the Underground forum.

I was skimming through Yahoo! News when I found this article on Machnima becoming more mainstream. Without Bungie's Halo, and by extension, Red vs Blue (and many others, like Randy Glass) Machnima would never have become what it is today.

What's upsetting is the many people who see it as "junk food entertainment," and not as an easy outlet for the imagination.


This is how non-gamers think of video games in general.

Machnima is a valid artistic outlet. I would rather watch a few episodes of RvB than re-runs of Friends, or Will and Grace, or *insert shoddy American sitcom concieved as a replacement for Friends*.

It is only the true gamers who get a chance to see the true artistic merit of video games, and things like Machnima. All the bluepills see are flashy, asthetically driven advertisements for 'Football Game Update 2005' and software of that ilk.

Good post but it should probably be in The Underground or The Flood.

I moved this from The Septagon to The Underground, since The Septagon is for site related discussion and this seems to be Bungie related discussion (since you are comparing the rise of Machnima to Halo and Red vs. Blue).
