Top Gamers Go ‘AFK’ In Machinima’s Newest Series

Briefly: Machinima is at it again, this time with a hilarious unscripted series called AFK.

According to the show’s description, “Pulling the world’s greatest gamers away from the keyboard to find out how they will fare in a real-life demolition derby or roller derby bootcamp is no easy task. That is exactly what Machinima, in association with GEICO, has done in the first-ever original travel competition starring some of the biggest YouTube gaming influencers”

Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Hosted by Bruce Greene, host and producer of Machinima’s INSIDE GAMING, one of YouTube’s most popular daily gaming news shows, the first season of AFK brings the Minecraft Universe center stage as YouTube Minecraft Legends MINECRAFTUNIVERSE and Jerome ASF battle each other in a wide range of events including competing in a real-life demolition derby in Dallas, TX, battling it out for Supremacy in a GTA 5 flash-gaming challenge, a Trials Evolution flash-gaming challenge, and a real-life roller derby bootcamp in Austin, TX.

There are three seasons of AFK currently in the works, so if you like what you see here, there’s plenty more coming down the pipeline. Take a look at the series’ first episode below, and let us know what you think!
