Remember like Rooster Teeth’s Red vs Blue?

Looking for something like that. Episodic use of a videogame for some light-hearted story driven cinema.

The only good modern example I can think of is Neebs Gaming’s Subnautica series, but that’s kind of an outlier in their channel since everything else they’ve done (that I’ve seen at least) is more of a “let’s play” type of video than the kind of cinematic roleplay they do for Subnautica.

Hard to screen for quality on channels I’m not familiar with, since 99% of YouTube’s gaming content is hot garbage.

Anywho, the combination of school and work is melting my brain… I don’t trust my time management skills to dive back into actual gaming, but the occaisional episode to get that little half-hour-mind-vacation would be a godsend.

Thanks, all!

      I’m betting they weren’t around in the early 90s. I mean… If we are talking any real sort of publicly available machinima, we must be talking about the start of YouTube.

      Unless watching your mate, Gary, do that thing where he voiced over Zangief as if we was a WWF wrester counts.

          Right you are. They started in 2003 a full two years before YouTube and a solid four years after the 90s.
