• Chris Burke (media artist) — Producer, director, and host ofThis Spartan Life. Apparentlydid the sound forGame: On.Has done sound for the ILL Clan in the past.Notablechiptune artist who goes by the alias "glomag".
• Randall Glass — Yup, we've delinked him for being non-notable before. But hisWarthog Jump video was nominated for Best Editing at the2002 Machinima Film Festivall andtook home two Rockets on Prisoner awards. Paul Marinohas citedWJ as a video that could only be practically done in machinima. Rooster Teeth has citedWJ as direct inspiration and flipping the Warthog onto the Red Base in episode 9 was their direct homage toWJ. Glass also did the voice of Vic inRed vs. Blue season 1. Another video of his,A Few Good G-Men, won Best Virtual Performance at the2005 Machinima Film Festival.
