Machinima review: Arby n' The Chief

Digitalph33r is a hit machinima directior with a few series under his belt. One of those series is Arby n' the chief which i am going to review.

Chief is the typical Xbox Live dick head who just happens to be an Master Chief action figure who plays Halo 3 and starts out alone in a human's apartment who is named Jon. But one day a package shows up which gets chief paranoid about. As he should. Later that night chief wakes up to see that the package is open, and after chief gets his ass kicked by a stranger who we find out is Arby the straight man who is comic foil to chief's antics. So they both embark an crazy adventures

First impressions were good. Ideas at the start were creative enough to get me interested in the story. But as the series continues a few red flags came up.

First all a lot of loose end continue to be unexplained. Like the sudden disappearance of Todd and Travis still is unexplained. I feel like if a major event has happened i like some closure as to wtf happened. Cortana stopped showing up. As to what happened i am not really not sure.

Second of all the voices for the supporting charaters are recycled. I found that Travis's voice was the same as a dick brain Xbox like player. Or that the same little kid shows up in almost every episode. All that am i saying is that a little variety is good now and again.

There is more that I can state but those are the two that i want to bring up

As the latest episodes come out it's difficult to shake the feeling that Dph33r is running out of ideas. I mean as the show comes out to a great start as Chief getting Recon Armor and breaking Arby's copy of Call Of Duty 4, is followed by a weak episode in which Chief overreacts to Halo 3's melee system.

over all a lot more can be asked from this series. But because the earlier episodes are good it gets a slide. 3/5
