Ever hear of Digital Ph33r? If you have seen "Masterchief Sucks at Halo" or "Arby and the Chief" then you probably know him for his comedic take to the halo series. But not all of his movies are all comedy, there is one series that he has made that stood out above the rest. This is a halo 3 action/drama known as "Deus Ex Machina", one of the greatest series of youtube movies using halo 3 i have ever seen. There are currently 8 episodes(episode 8 is 2 parts, only one of the two came out) and they are awesome.
Story: Salvation City(Last Resort), the city that was apropriately dubbed "The Asshole of the world". This is a city full of crime and is also the biggest distributer of power-enhancing drugs in the entire world. John Brent is your average person, until him and his friend Michael Jacobs started somthing that would change their lives forever. They wanted to "Clean up" salvation city by protecting the helpless. Mike built John a set of armor that allowed him to do incredible things such as lift things up to 1 metric ton. It is not easy however, as the town is littered with people who modified their armor in the name of evil.
Review: These movies are amazing. It is a very compelling machinima that reminds me of movies like bourne identity. I was also suprised how they used halo 3 for this, as we all know halo 3 has limits but in Dues Ex Machina, they try their hardest to make it like an action movie and it works. All combat scenes are awesome and at the end of each one will leave you begging for more, just to find out what happens next. I do hate the fact that the series is only 8 episodes long, making it undeniably short but later episodes somewhat fix that due to the fact that they can last for over 20 minutes sometimes. All in all, great series, i give it an 9/10. check em' out:

not everything in Dues Ex Machina is serious, some minor chuckle parts are thrown in here and there.
For example:
John: "This armor kicks ass, i look like shredder from the ninja turtles or somthin!"
that cracked me up a bit :P

when you go to restaurant do you rate what you eat? do you rate how good your sleep was?

Dude don't even rip on the guy.  He's gotten more posts than my topic about a machinima I MADE.

I wouldn't even care if people RIPPED MINE TO SHREDS, I just think it'd be nice if people posted in it.

EDIT: Seriously, my topic's had 80 views and 1 reply.

at least yours was something you made. This guy just has a habit of posting shitty youtube memes that he didn't even make as if people are going to be interested in it IDK. First it was AMV's or something and now these.
