I don't know if your into that thing or not, but no one seems to have replied about this on their website. Should we give it a chance?

Hopefully we can get it at least one year to air, I like the concept of Machinima on network TV.
It sounds like a great idea. But I wonder which game it will be played on.
E.T. for the Atari 2600....
I don't think it would be well received by older audiences. Most of them would be like "Who the hell are these people? What game is this?"
Machinima? On [b]Fox[/b]?
No thanks

"Plus, where am I anyway?"
Nah, seriously, I'd love to see something like that. Sounds like a good idea.
*hopes for "Freemans Mind" on TV*

On the contrary, I think it would help older audiences get over the preconceived notion that all games are designed for kids.
This could be great or horrible, although I don't know if I'd want to watch a ~23 minute machinima. The story doesn't sound very interesting though.
"Hey, remember the time we got trapped in that video game?"
Scat joke
Freeman's mind would be good, but chilledsanity is only somewhere around the 20 mark on his episodes, so he would need alot people to work for him.Plus half-life is an old game made somewhere in 1998
Freemans Mind please.
I doubt they'll do anything imaginative, because what machinima (from my experience) has come to is people posting Halo, WoW or Call of Duty videos on Machinima.com. I wouldn't be all to surprised if it was something made in-part with the Halo engine, or something anyone could recognize.
Hope this is not something shitty from machinima.com
Shows on TV would be made from animation and real people anyways, not player models running around and ragdoll poses

"THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT KIDS ARE PLAYING THESE DAYS?"
"Extremely violent! MY CHILD CAN'T SEE THIS!!"
It's a "love story between a man and his dog", apparently. So... Fallout 3? Fable 2, maybe? How many games have a dog in them?
It's gonna be the fucking Sims, I know it.

war of the servers is 70 minutes (iirc) and is pretty damn good, probably the best film adaptation of the War of the Worlds I've seen
Its most likely gonna be some generic, made for the show original characters with an inevitable tie in game made 6 months later. Because basing it off existing machinima would cost more to license.
Bring back CinemaTECH on G4! hell I'm even up to watch the creepy japanese version late night CinemaTECH. Also MTV had a short lived machinima show that I liked.
Wasn't that G4 show called "Cinematech"? I never really watched it when it was still on.
Machinima's channel is full of shitty halo movies and ad-heavy trailers. They also have a death grip on Ross Scott, who only partnered with them for download hosting.

Cinematech mostly just showed trailers and clips from games.
I want Portal back, that show was the shit.
I doubt Freemans mind would work on tv. Its funny, but its really just a guy playing videogames while talking over it, not exactly tv material.
Anyone remember that short-lived comedy show featuring various characters from video game genres and they lived together in one big happy family?
I don't know if this would work. Machinima is much like modding. It stops being machinima when you do something completely original. It's based in copyright infringement and repurposing of popular game elements.
Whoever made the "Meet the" series could make a machinima series.
That would be Valve (how could you not know this?) And they have been thinking about maybe making a TF2 movie of some kind.
i am a HUGE fan of machinima and their work on MW2, especially with hutch. if this was a tv show, i would watch EVERY episode even if it had to do with a different game. :ghost:
