Are you the Halo Machinima guy?

Nope, that would be Burnie Burns, I suspect.

I'm the guy who came up with the word in the first place and founded Machinima.com (amongst other things).

Well, he's one of them, though there were 3 guys who were all in on the genesis: Burnie, Geoff, and Gus. <bragging> I used to work with them (Burnie actually stepped down as CEO of a tech company to pursue RvsB while I was still working there). All very cool people. </bragging>

Pretty sweet though that you invented the term, I always wondered how that came about...

Ah, yes, of course. I know Burnie better than the rest of the RvB team, so I tend to think of him first, but that's unfair to Geoff and Gus.
