Who cares? Machinima is crappy nowadays.

Remember when it actually had Machinima in it?

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

Machinima's still a thing? I didn't even know that Jon was still making videos.

Why? Jon Graham is a fantastic writer... oh wait that's what companies always do, get rid of their best workers.

Arby n' the Chief has lost all that it had going for it before.

I'm surprised this wasn't an event before.

How does a stupid COD commentary get more views than an episode of Arby n the Chief? In one a guy or girl is talking about some random topic while playing COD and the other a guy spends a lot of time preparing an episode for his fans and works very hard to do it. So how the hell do they get more views than Jon's videos?

Dissapointing. I only watch Machinima at this point for the Gamer Poop series.

It's a'me, Sesto

The new seasons are amazing, and Jon is probably one of the best machinima creators out there. Arby and the Chief, Hard Justice, One Life Remaining, his "how to create good machinima" series, all were AMAZING. Imo, he is one of the people who made Machinima so successful at the start. The entire idea they would axe him, after all he has done of the popularity of the company, is absolute bull-blam!-.

It's so stupid seriously. He actually cares about what he does. For the rest of the -blam!- heads it's just a competition about who gets more views. They don't care about the viewers.

It got so boring when he started using reach.

Arby n the Chief is the only show I watch on Machinima.

It's pretty disappointing to me. Jon is balancing film school, a full time web series, and sacrificing a lot of his personal life just to get the other two working well.

Meanwhile, "pro" CoD players make commentaries of playing a damn video game while having partnerships with youtube and Call of Duty.

Jon deserves better.

Thank God! That'll save up more bandwidth for more talentless quickscoping that you can totally tell isn't set up at all!


So are you for him getting canned or against?

I haven't watched Arby N the Chief since the season finale in Spring or sometime around then. I think I'll pick it back up to show some support.

Why would him being cut from Machinima warrant him stopping ArbyntheChief? DO Machinima own it?

Well if you don't get paid for it why do it?

I dunno about that show any more. The first couple of seasons were hilarious, and I still find them funny today.

However, like other Machinima series, adding cheesy, drawn out drama hasn't added anything. I don't get why there had to be a change to be honest. Why can't people just make things funny instead of adding a depressing, down to earth theme?

Also he turned the character of Chief into a complete ass-hat. He used to have a sense of naivety to him, but now it's just: "insult-insult-insult--blam!--joke-insult."

It's just not funny.
I don't know. I don't really like season 3, but all the other season are great(I haven't watched season 6 yet)

Completely against, it's nothing short of disappointing that the last part of machinima is getting kicked. May as well just call it Vidya Game Commentaries.


Yeah it sucks so bad

Meh, the show has really gone downhill, same as RvB. Trying to add too much drama to a show that was originally about getting some laughs out.
