Why don't we just share the hill?

It's sad to see. Considering machinima show some really -blam!- content. I don't even watch it any more.

They should just let him finish the damn show before they axe him. Cliffhangers are terrible. He could probably stick with the bytes after that.

ANTC, imo, has been better than it ever was since Season 5 began airing. I like the more serious tone that both AnTC and RvB have taken; when you merge comedy with a great story, the show is MUCH more enjoyable, at least for me. This also helped RvB ascend above EverymanHYBRID as my favorite webseries of all time.

I REALLY hope this doesn't happen. Season 7 has been awesome so far, and it has hands-down one of my favorite antagonists to ever exist in a webseries.

Godspeed, Jon...

This so much. Like Halo 4, you need to evolve to be successful. If not, then your recycled material will degrade and be terrible to its audience. In this case, it would just be constant dick jokes and swearing.

The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.

I agree, at least in the RvB sense.

I never really watched Arby and the Chief when it first came out, but I might consider it if it has actual substance instead of those annoyingly stupid jokes.

"Right now it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus is, hilariously, orbiting the sun sideways while Venus spins backwards. We sit here on a planet marked with collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet doomed to be fried in radiation as its magnetic fields collapse, until the sun grows and leaves nothing of the earth but dust. Here we sit, glasses on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, and we say "Behold the perfect ORDER of it all!""

Like others have said though, his shows are what made machinima get so big back in 2008. It'd be a dick move to axe him now.

Well, the jokes are still there, to an extent, but it does actually have a rather excellent and serious story with each season starting with season 5. The best part is, you'll only have to watch one episode to get caught up: Here you go.

Machinima's episode listing is crappy, so use Jon's blog to go through the episodes chronologically. Start at Season 05 after you watch 'The Spider'.

Sure, the preview of the season's conclusion at the beginning of "House of Cards" might still make you feel iffy, but watch the season and let everything develop. The series has way more of a serious story from here on out than it ever has. Just give it a chance. :)

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

It's been awhile since I last watched the show. Stopped after the last season. Wasn't bad, I enjoyed it.

  • 12.08.2012 5:47 PM PDT

The first 3 or so things he made were funny, but that could have been because it was about 5 and half years ago. After that it got so lame.

Machinama sucks, I can't even believe people watch that trash.

Not surprised. The inclusion of some of the new characters has always bugged me. I never like seeing successful people lose traction with popularity, but I could really see and understand how this has happened.

"98% of teenagers surround there mind with rap. If you part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature."

Aw man, that sucks for him. Jon CJG is a real funny guy. I watched his old machinima, it was really high quality. I have a huge amount of respect for the guy.

  • 12.08.2012 6:11 PM PDT

Machinima is a dying practice really. Not a lot of people are able to do it and make it good anymore.

  • 12.08.2012 6:14 PM PDT

I don't watch it but why would he stop if he likes it? Just make a damn channel for himself and upload the videos. it's not hard to do ...

He wouldn't make money from that though...or not as much anyways.

Machinima PAYS him to make the episodes. If he had to get a full time job then he would not have time to make the show at all.

  • 12.08.2012 6:19 PM PDT

With a creative mind that Jon has, I wonder why he continues with Arby N the Chief anyway. Hard Justice was the best Machinima ever and Dues Ex was also above standards. Honestly I hope Jon looks at the prospect of creating a new series. Maybe that will help spice things up again.

  • 12.08.2012 6:32 PM PDT

+1 for you good sir.

He should've finished deus ex machina.

This is a secondary account and not my main account.

I stopped watching that show years ago because it made me feel like my I.Q. was dropping every time I watched it. So it doesn't really matter to me if it gets cancelled or not.

halo machinimas stopped being funny in 2010. ever since reach came out there hasn't been a single machinimia i laughed at. Halo 3 had the best ones but then again everyone was in it for recon armor.

  • 12.08.2012 6:51 PM PDT

I hope they don't. The first time I watched Arby n the Chief I was getting cramps from how much I was laughing. I really like the show
