Poll: Do you watch machinima?

[dudeman0001]

Oh HELL YES, machinima's a great way to do videography!
I like to watch
Arby 'n' the Chief
Hard Justice
It's a wonderful Live was cool
Red vs. Blue
But machinima's are tough to find.

I'd like to make one sometime, but alas, i don't have the proper equipment...

I'm part of the group that has no idea what machinima means. Judging by the handful of responses I looked at, something to do with using video games to made videos?

 

[WayOutThere]

the entire idea of fanmade movies done with games bothers me.

why?

(sincere question)

 

[Azraellod]

a friend occasionally sends me videos from them that i will watch to shut them up about it, but i take no interest in it really.

i just cant see why it's supposed to be good.

Red vs. Blue and Freeman's mind are both very funny series.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Yes I do watch machinamoo said the Zombie ghosts,

and John Freeman was sad becasue the Zombie Ghosts couldn't said Machinima or change the channels becasue the they had no bodies because John Freeman had burnded them away with fire and now he to deal with Full Life Consequences...

I prefer the funny ones, but the occasional 'proper' one crops up like Ignus Sous. It's usually worth sifting through the crap for the good ones.

Voted for "What is Machinima". Never heard of it. What is it?

Machinima is making videos using video games.

Have you ever noticed that if you put your weapon down in a FPS your screen could make a good cam-corder of other events in the game?

Machinima is scriped events happening in a videogame, usually using a multiplayer map.

Go to YouTube and type in "Red vs. Blue episode one". You're likely familiar with Halo so I think that will quickly show you what it is.

Arby 'n' The Chief ftw

My personal favorite would definetly be a tie between Freeman's Mind and Red VS Blue.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I enjoy Machinimas. I used to watch Smashtasm, now I mainly just watch Freeman's Mind, but Civil Protection was good too.

 

[Deleric]

Red vs Blue, Phil, The Leet World, Freeman's Mind, Matchmaking, Civil Protection.

I like machinima.

 

[Jark212]

I love Red Vs. Blue, Classic...

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

No, I abhor the very idea of it, half the ones I find are meme spouting crap anyway, the entire idea of fanmade movies done with games bothers me.

Especially World of Warcraft ones.

Ironically I love Garry's Mod comics.

Comics? You mean there's more besides Concerned: The Half-life and Death of Gordon Frohman?

Of course. There's Left 4 Dumb here on the Escapist as well.

the entire idea of fanmade movies done with games bothers me.

why?

(sincere question)

It's a very rare occurance that I share the humour of whomever made them, if I find one I particuarly hate it can very rarely ruin it's source for me.
