Ever since they really started taking off in the video game world I've always loved watching various fan and pro made Machinimas. A Machinima in itself usually looks like an in game short film using the characters in their playable rendered setup to create non canon situations.
Two of my favourite Machinima shows can be seen below, the first being "Sanity Not Included" and the other two from "The Idiots of Garry's Mod" series. Unlike TIoGM, Sanity Not Included is a show that boasts shorts from a variety of different games making one big collaborative Machinima whereas The Idiots of Garry's Mod focuses on making collabs of only characters made by games company, VALVe.
I'm not sure why Machinimas appeal to me so much, I think one of the main reasons is because its one of the main ways of the audience watching their favourite characters do non canon things such as rag-dolling around a set or doing something humour provoking with another character from either the same game or another. In general its a way for a games fans to act out what they imagine the characters to be doing either in their spare time or otherwise.
