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!
RvB, early 90s???
Shit man Pokemon wasn’t early 90s.
I’m going to kindly ask you to enjoy yourself on my lawn but please move on eventually when you’re done enjoying yourself.
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.
I was watching RvB before YouTube XD XD XD my friend downloaded… .avi’s I think? The night they were released, and we’d watch them after school the next day XD XD XD
Right you are. They started in 2003 a full two years before YouTube and a solid four years after the 90s.

He’s out of line, but he’s right.
Machinima wasn’t really a thing in the early 90s. Closest I can think of is Reboot but that started in 94 (what I’d call mid 90s…).

Holy shit you must be 13 if you think RvB is from the 90s.
Or that the Internet could support playable video outside of flash animation in the 90’s.

Not exactly a video game but would the old G.I. Joe PSA’s scratch that itch?
Pork chop sandwiches!
Hey kid, I’m a computer, stop all the downloading
Freeman’s Mind (it’s a long-running series up to 6 months ago) by Accursed Farms (or Civil Protection by the same creator)?
Though this may be an obvious suggestion, the channel is not obscure (Ross’s Game Dungeon for reviews, also a recent video/series on publisher destroying their games).
Unless you specifically want content made using newer games? Prettier visuals? Would the non-YTP stuff that uses TF2 (or Source in general I guess) count, or maybe you want something in a specific setting/game-you-play?

Freeman’s Mind is a great one I can recommend
I used to download those red VS blue on the old dial up. Jesus wept.
