'''Arby 'n' the Chief''' is a Live-Action Machinima Hybrid series created by Jon Graham, credited as Jon CJG, about the lives of figurine versions of the [[John-117|Master Chief]] and [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]]. It is primarily based around the two playing ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'', and doing things related to ''[[Halo universe|Halo]]'', but also will occasionally focus on the duo pulling off various shenanigans. In the first four seasons, episodes usually revolve around the duo. By the fifth season, there is a central plot that develops throughout the season, while episodes that address current events are more rare than before. By the sixth and seventh seasons, each episode is mostly devoted to the overall plot.

==Background==
''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 phenomena 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 eight complete seasons.

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 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 way to try those games, though his performance is terrible, and the time he devotes to playing 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.
