Main Works
- Master Chief Sucks at Halo, a comedy series featuring a Master Chief action figure voiced by Microsoft Sam (as featured in Windows 2000 and XP) that supposedly plays Halo 3 in Jon's absence. The series portrays 3 installments having Master Chief possess the intelligence and characteristics of the typical noob people often encounter whilst playing Halo, including (but not limited to): constant swearing, immaturity, lack of skill or strategy, hacking accusations, etc. This series was succeeded by Arby 'n' the Chief, which continues development on Master Chief's character as well as introductions to new ones.
- Arby 'n' the Chief, a standalone spinoff of Master Chief Sucks at Halo a new action figure of The Arbiter (Microsoft Mike) arrives at the home of Master Chief (Microsoft Sam). Other characters introduced to the series include Cortana (Microsoft Mary) and Greg, as well as other toys Todd and Travis. After bad reception of introducing Todd and Travis, Jon CJG made a "Live or Die?" poll in which people voted whether to keep Todd & Travis in the series. The vote was about 60 - 40 in favor of them to die and they were subsequently cast-out from the show.
- Hard Justice, a comedy drama series about the police officers part of E.R.E.C.T. that originally ran from 2008 until 2010 before being rebooted by Jon in 2024.
Other Works
- Deus Ex Machina, an action drama series created in the world of Halo 3 and set in the same time period. In the last surviving city on earth known as Salvation City, a man named John Brent and his best friend Michael build a high tech suit of armor. John dons the armor and assumes the identity "Deus Ex Machina" to keep crime in the city under control. This series was left on a cliffhanger due to Jon Graham's desire to work on other projects.
- One Life Remaining
- Abnormality, one of Jon's first attempts at a dramatic machinima, made years ago using the Halo 2 engine. The series follows a genetically altered human named Adrian, who has been dangerously augmented by military personnel to forge a formidable opponent to the Covenant. It bears a striking resemblance to his later series Deus Ex Machina.
- Abnormality 2, the direct sequel to the previous Abnormality. Beginning with this installment, Jon's machinimas are now completely acted, voiced, directed, and produced by himself.
Trivia
