I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

You can find a few tutos as well on http://www.blendercookie.com/ .
Hope it helps ;-)
I wish Ivo would write a tut on how he ported the "norman" rig to blender. That's the most usable rig IMO. It even uses Euler rotations which, again IMO, are easier read in the GE
Oops meant most usable in 2.5 at this time.
Well, I didn't found the video in the provided link ! Any advice ?
Smart way!
@ROUBAL: It is slightly above the comment section.
That a lot like the rig I used for Caveman Clay. I've also managed some crude muscle simulation.
