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. | ||

''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. | ||
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. | ||

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."

*In the second episode of the series, the Arbiter wrote Bungie a letter asking to give the Chief Recon armor, which was granted by the beginning of Episode 3. Bungie, of course, actually did give Jon Graham the Recon armor; many viewers of the video thought that Jon was given the armor because of the email that the Arbiter wrote, leading many of them to write their own emails to Bungie asking for the armor themselves. Jon, however, has revealed that he did not actually send the email that he wrote for Episode 2, and that Bungie gave him the Recon purely because they admired his videos. | *In the second episode of the series, the Arbiter wrote Bungie a letter asking to give the Chief Recon armor, which was granted by the beginning of Episode 3.
