Hey everyone,

I would just like to express myself about something and talk about how Machinima.com isn't the same anymore. The definition of machinima is the combination of two words: machine + cinema, although it's hard to come by those today. There was a time when Machinima was about actually making MACHINIMAS, although nowadays it seems that Machinima.com has been posting mostly commentaries and crap. The only real machinimas on that channel today are Arby 'n' the Chief, SoFallenFilms, and a few others, whereas back in '08/'09 there was a lot more machinimas out there. I just wish Machinima could be restored to its former glory somehow, there needs to be more actual machinimas.

Discuss.

Machinarchy.

But yes, Machinima has grown to large for its own good. In fact the majority of gaming is going downhill. Playing on Xboxlive makes you seriously question humanity.

To be honest, Machinima is right now, not much more than a company that tries to have good animators, artists, gamers, etc selling out. Can't really dig that, but it is a nice opportunity to make money for the poor geeks on the internet who can use the extra cash.

Oh yes, that attempt some rogue members from Machinima made to invade DD, fortunately the DD staff caught wind of the plans before they actually acted and were punished accordingly by the machinima staff. It was pretty hilarious how they tried to pass themselves off as "normal" members.

In fact, they weren't pretty much of a threat to begin with.

I really don't think it's that though. I mean, I can see the whole selling out thing since Machinima isn't what it used to be but they are trying to keep up with the times. Certain games like Call of Duty I feel as if are driving Machinima's fanbase since it's a popular series and is constantly in demand. They are like any other company, they want to make money to survive since it is a costly process.

Ooh, I thought they, as a community tried to invade. My mistake.
