Bungie’s CJ Cowan will be the keynote speaker at this year’s Game Developers eXchange, a conference held at the Savannah College of Art and Design (a school CJ graduated from in 1998). There’s no information about what he’s going to talk about on the GDX website, but given CJ’s recent work history (Cinematic Designer on Halo 2, Cinematic Director on Halo 3, ODST, Reach), it’s a good bet Halo will play a role. If you’re in Georgia in mid-May, put this on your calendar!(Louis Wu 14:49:23 UTC)

I woke up this morning to a whole passel of videos announced on our forum – they were ALL good, so watch the lot!

• Blinding announced Firelight Studios’ newest short, ‘Welcome to New Mombasa‘. Filmed in ODST, it’s a tribute to Helljumpers everywhere.
• AlphaGamma told us about the first episode of Frostbite, by Blood Chain Productions. Interesting premise, fine cinematography; this one shows promise!
• CrazedOne1988 was discussing his recently-released Spartan Support Unit 254, a machinima based on a conversation first published at Dorkly.com. Definitely has a few smile triggers.

It’s a machinima morning!(Louis Wu 14:20:33 UTC)

Look for the post labeled ‘Latest Entries’ for full details on how to get in on this one. And thanks to Shana, who won the LAST giveaway but chose not to take a bunch of the prizes, leading to this ridiculous package. Marissa heads in for surgery on Friday the 18th – so that’s when this giveaway ends… get your entries in before that! (And hey – if you think this sort of thing is cool, why not toss a few bucks into Marissa’s pot? There’s a donate link on the right side of the page.)(Louis Wu 14:08:46 UTC)
