Ignis Solus features a lonely Pyro trying to keep himself entertained in a wide-open map, with cameos by the Scout and everyone's favorite, Heavy. I'm hoping to see a lot more from Lit Fuse using TF2, as the art style really adds a great deal of character to short films like this one. Lovely. More »

You may remember the first film, Rusty Whispers - Dennis, which I enjoyed terribly. Something of the Dennis charm is lost in this second video I fear. It features a similar character...a loner who lives in a remote place as the war is going on...but the feel is a bit off. The whole thing has an air of foreboding somehow. Very well crafted and narrated, just not Dennis. More »

Lit Fuse was behind the epic War of the Servers and That Was Dennis, which Fahey described as "one of the neatest little bits of machinima I've come across in a long time." More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=291048&view=rss&microfeed=true This is one of the neatest little bits of machinima I've come across in a long time. From Robert Stoneman, the director of the epic machinima film "War of the Servers", "Rusty Whispers - Dennis" is the oddly touching eulogy for Dennis, a lonely man who lived with birds. Thanks to the amazingly earnest and competent narration of Ben Hundley and some charming music from Aphex Twin, I was oddly touched at the end of this man's story. For a much nicer version of the video as well and to check out "The War of the Servers", visit Lit Fuse Films via the link below. Rest in peace, Dennis. More »
