These companies are getting absurd.

>>87769178
Time Warner owns DC.
So maybe we'll see some exclusive DC shows on Machinima

>>87769138
I assumed Machinima was dead

>>87769138
OI DOES THIS MEANS THAT GODS AND MONSTERS LIVES ON ?

fucking REMEMBER MACHINIMA??

>>87769225
I haven't seen a video about vidya gaems referred to as a Machinima in years

>>87769208
machinima has been dead since like 5 years, it went to shit when sanity not included felt like it was never going to get a new episode, and then lyle left

>>87769208
Machinima worked with DC animation on those Gods and Monsters shorts, which were pretty good.
Hell, the Superhombre short was even better than the movie.

I had no goddamned clue what Machinima was even doing these days.

>>87769138
What? This is still a thing?

Didn't get its start from Halo 3 recordings or something?

>>87769178
It's not, the Warner quote doesn't even mention DC comics or cartoons.

If we had competent mods, OP might've been tempted to tie it into something like "will we get more shorts like we did for Gods and Monsters?".

For the most part, Machinima hasn't been about original vidya-based videos in a long time. The term "machinima" is now almost entirely co-opted by the company.

All that Machinima does nowadays is act as a partner service to YouTube channels and Let's Players who are too lazy to realize Machinima is gypping them out of money. Looking at you, DSP.

>>87769267
it started as Newgrounds for people who didn't know how to animate.
started with Halo 2 and Melee comedy shorts, got big, then Call of Duty became huge so they focused on gameplay commentaries and then everything went to shit

>>87769178
>Machinima currently airs several animated series including Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles, Transformers: Combiner Wars, and Mortal Kombat: Legacy.

>>87769201
Already happened, did you forget Gods and Monsters?

>>87769318
>Transformers: Combiner Wars
They shouldn't have.

Not sure if Machinima is really /co/, but I'll post my favorites: Inventing Swear Words. Pic unrelated

They're becoming monopolies. It's like watching slow moving oil droplets absorbing one another.

>>87769409
Unca Donald will save us!

>They're becoming monopolies.
>Implying they weren't already monopolies to begin with.

You do know 90% of our media is coming through only 6 media companies, right?

>>87769483
even if he stops the deal, they'll just make shady deals under the table.
all that would change is that the US will get less tax $$$

>>87769516
Damn, I didn't think it was that small.

I now want to hear all of Trump's speeches in Donald Duck's voice.

>>87769138
Isn't Machinima Hemorrhaging money at this point?

are they going to buy myspace next?

Time Warner becomes stronger

>>87769769
No, Time Inc. owns it now(as well as Justin Timberlake) after it was sold to them by News Corp. in 2011. It's not the same company as Time Warner though, Time Inc. was spun off from the Time Warner company in 2014 and is a separate company from the media giant.

Will they feature season three of Young Justice here?

>>87770864
oh shit! haven't even thought about that!
would make sense. I mean, Machinima has hosted animated shows before.

I thought they had already done this? That's why the Gods & Monsters shorts were uploaded there

>>87769884
Soon they'll acquire enough power to challenge Disney at the End of Days.

>>87770908
WB had investors in Machinima since 2001

>>87769138
But didn't Cheetoh-Skin President say he wanted to prevent this merger? He better work fast!

>>87769138
How long until Disney consumes them both?

>>87771364
2 decades at most

>>87769225
Yeah literally only RvB is around and in this day and age it's literally easier for them to straight-up animate shit.

I miss the Halo 3 era

>GEARS OF HALO THEFT AUTO 5

>>87769409
That's not how a monopoly works

>>87769516
That's an Oligopoly.

Awesome, you got all those youtube subscribers that don't even watch anything Machinima anymore, but are too lazy to unsubscribe

Goodjob Time Warner. Get those Youtube bucks!
