Shimmering Waters

Even if the Arbiter had yet to make it’s first on-screen appearance, these three Machinima comedy shorts from John Graham are just as hilarious (or even more!) as the more recent episodes.

Master Chief likes to spend all day playing video games (very badly), going online to lolcats.com and watch pr0n. He is also an action figure based on the famous character from the Halo series. His daily routine is disturbed by the unexpected delivery of The Arbiter, another action figure with more common sense, courtesy and spelling skills than his grammatically-challenged and homophobic roommate. Through these unexpectedly endearing characters, the author spoofs typical abusive and stupid gamer behavior and offers insightful critiques of popular video games.

Set in the Portal universe, two automatic machine-gun turrets fight boredom on the job in this hilarious comedy machinima video short.
