Early 2000's Machinimas... anything modern to scratch that nostalgic itch? (lemmy.world)

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!

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?

Holy shit, Freeman's Mind!! Those started dropping when I was in HS, but there were only like 5 of them then. Looks like almost 100 now??

I recall getting a good laugh out of the ones I saw. Completely forgot about those! Definitely on the list now!

Don't so much care about old vs new; I'm more about the quality of presentation. Idr how I stumbled across the Neebs Subnautica series - diving sims weren't really on my radar, so it's not something I'd normally have had any desire to click on, but it sucked me in quick cuz their voice acting paired with the game environment was pretty great.
