''Arby 'n' the Chief'' is a live action internet video series created by [[Jon Graham]], also known as Jon CJG (who was in turn known as DigitalPh33r when the series began production), about the lives of figurine versions of [[John-117|Master Chief]] and the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]].

Originally, it was about the two playing video games and encountering common phenomenons such as hackers or DLC releases in the Xbox LIVE community, but by the fifth season, each season has its own plot. The series has seven complete seasons. | ||
Usually, the duo plays ''Halo 3'', or ''Halo: Reach'' as of Season 4, on Xbox LIVE although Arbiter also enjoys playing other games such as ''Grand Theft Auto IV'', ''Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare'', and ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' on Wii. Chief is typically seen expressing scorn and dissent whenever someone chooses to play any game that is not ''Halo'' related, and as such, Chief stays away from such games. However, he does venture out of his normal way to try those games, though his performance is terrible, and what time he does devote to the playing of different games always results in an increase in Chief's hatred for that game. Later on in the series, however, Chief becomes more tolerant of non-''Halo'' games, such as ''Resident Evil 5'', despite later on joining a protest against the game itself because of its alleged racism. | Usually, the duo plays ''Halo 3'', or ''Halo: Reach'' as of Season 4, on Xbox LIVE although Arbiter also enjoys playing other games such as ''Grand Theft Auto IV'', ''Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare'', and ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' on Wii.

A new segment to season six is a show known as "Hypermail," (formerly known as "Hypernews" from season five.) A fanmail show that will rotate weekly between season 6 and it until the season's end. The segment is non-canon and displays the characters in their usual attitude, as well as addresses more real-life and/or pop culture events from the perspective of The Arbiter | A new segment to season six is a show known as "Hypermail," (formerly known as "Hypernews" from season five.)

Because of bad fan reception for the first two episodes, on November 24, 2009, much to his dismay, Jon Graham stated on his blog that he was asked by Machinima to fly to L.A. and help them with the third episode to "give the new crew a running start." However, he was detained by US Homeland Security as a Canadian citizen and was denied entrance to the United States; the new arrangement is for Jon to simply write the scripts and manage the voices, while a film crew in LA does all the actual production. Jon stated on his blog that he still doesn't consider the series his anymore.[http://joncjg.blogspot.com/2009/11/news-helping-produce-next-episode-of.html] | Because of bad fan reception for the first two episodes, on November 24, 2009, much to his dismay, Jon Graham stated on his blog that he was asked by Machinima to fly to L.A. and help them with the third episode to "give the new crew a running start."
