Machinima (/məˈʃiːnɨmə/ or /məˈʃɪnɨmə/) (n.) is the use of real-time computer graphics engines to create a cinematic production. Most often video games are used to generate the computer animation.


A place to discuss all things machinima. Machinima discussion may include anything from actual machinimas, recruiting for machinimas, or if you are a voice actor, sharing your voice with us. (etc. etc. etc.) All machinimators know that voice actors are the hardest part of the entire machinima, so please don't hesitate to post your voice.

Help me find an old halo machinima

Ok this machinima existed many years ago. I wanna say 14 years ago. Anyway it in halo where a group of players were in a multiplayer match and master chief showed up on their team. Like the actual master chief, not chief from arby n the chief. Anyway, theres one line specifically that i still remember where chief goes "i need a weapon" and one of the players says "but chief, youre holding a weapon" then chief responds "tell that to the covenant". I know this isnt much to go off of but if someone could help me find it id be so damn grateful as i have looked many times and have failed to find it.

Does anyone have the versus videos with Steve and Larson?

They used to do videos of versus with Steve and Larson where they would talk about stuff like Treyarch vs Infinity Ward or Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher then you could vote for the winner I've been trying to find these videos for a while to no success
