The series has eight 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.

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."
