Arby 'n' the Chief - Season 3 (2008)

Chief attempts to buy Cold Storage with Jon's money, unaware that it's free.

While playing a game of grifball online Arbiter and Chief are invited to the Halo in-game wedding of a grating player couple.

Chief introduces Arbiter to a new friend he met over Xbox Live who claims to be a professional major league gamer.

Arbiter confronts Craig after he and his friends insult Master Chief.

It's on; handing Chief beer after beer to help psyche him up, Arbiter stands alongside him during his showdown against Craig, a cocky MLG player. However, Arbiter has a plan to tip the scales in Chief's favor.

Xbox Live has fallen into a chasm of utter chaos; an intermittent game glitch is causing players' Katana body pieces and Security shoulders to vanish, as well as denying players the ability to unlock certain achievements, and Master Chief has now fallen victim to it. Master Chief throws the Arbiter, who couldn't care less about the situation, into the middle of the chaos in the hopes that he'll realize just how big of a deal it is, and somehow put a stop to the madness.

With Master Chief at his side on the sofa, the Arbiter is taking refuge within Snowbound's underground cave to avoid the masses of raging rioters everywhere across Xbox Live in response to the in-game glitches causing their katana body pieces and Security shoulders to disappear. However, he is not alone; three other players are taking refuge with him, one of them obviously on the brink of insanity, but can any of them be trusted?

Master Chief resorts to watching game strategy videos on the Xbox Live dashboard to increase his Halo 3 skills and after that plan fails miserably, a hacker takes advantage of Master Chief's emotional instability and makes him an offer he can't refuse.

In hopes to balance the uneven ratio of bad machinima to good, Master Chief pitches the idea to the Arbiter of founding their own machinima production company.

The Arbiter wakes up hung over the morning after the day of the Mythic Map Pack's release. With a non-existent memory of last night and Master Chief nowhere to be found, he must retrace his steps and trigger flashbacks in order to piece together the events of the previous night and find the Chief.

The foundations of Master Chief and the Arbiter's machinima production company have been constructed as well as the script for Master Chief's film, but tempers flare when Master Chief begins to prioritize his own power and status over the important things about the filmmaking that attracted Arbiter to the project in the first place.

During a game of matchmaking on Halo 3, the Arbiter comes across a couple of players protesting against the release of Resident Evil 5 claiming that the game is "racist and insensitive", and to his surprise, discovers that Master Chief stands alongside the protesters despite him playing the game with the Arbiter not even a half hour earlier.

A matchmaking game of King of the Hill on Guardian mysteriously breaks down due to an unknown error, and as Master Chief, the Arbiter and six other players refuse to leave because of fear of losing experience points or other personal reasons, they are forced to mingle with one another. Tempers shortly flare though as each player has a different favorite machinima director and ends up designating a portion of the level to himself, and it's up to the Arbiter to put everything right.

Things are heading downhill at the apartment. During a game of Halo 3, the Arbiter discovers he's falling to pieces and begins suffering from a mid-life crisis, and he along with Master Chief, they begin examining their lives. On top of that, Jon's failure to pay rent has forced him to rent out his spare room to another tenant, specifically Scott, a disgusting man with a giant black afro to match the blackness of his heart who, unbeknownst to Master Chief or The Arbiter at first, is wanted for hacking on online games in addition to smuggling cocaine between Canada and Russia for sixteen years, and is also being pursued by a Russian agent of the KGB determined to settle a personal score with him.
