Halo Diehards Spotlight: Team Epiphany

If you’ve ever tried to find Halo content on YouTube, you know what a plethora of sub-par entertainment and insight there is to be found. In fact, one of the driving forces that helped bring Halo Diehards into existence was the realization that if you multiplied the total of hours of crap that each person watched on YouTube in search of quality Halo content, you could probably build an entire Halo Array and spend a lifetime vacationing at one of the tropical island paradises found on one of the inner rings.

To maximize on Diehards’ time spent mucking through the masses, it’s our pleasure to introduce to you: Team Epiphany. Self described as “…a group of guys recording ourselves playing halo reach with all the fun antics that come with it”, Team Epiphany is “Diehard Approved” in producing a variety of quality Halo content. From their their Forge Tutorials, to their ‘Halo Reach Epic Maps’ playlist that showcases custom forge maps, to their ‘Things You Don’t See on Halo’ machinima series, Team Epiphany educates and entertains.

That is why we’ve chosen Team Epiphany for this Spotlight. Just be warned: Some language is NSFW.

 

10 Questions with Vp Snipes From Team Epiphany

1. Approximately how many hours of Halo do you play a week?
I will typically play 4-5 casual hours of Halo but in total around 10 if you include producing videos.

 

2. Where did you get the idea for:  “Epic Forge Tutorials”
I got the idea for Epic Forge Tutorials by seeing some of the awesome things that can be built utilizing Halo Reach’s Forge. I decided I would attempt to push forge to its limits to see what can be built, all while recording it in an easy tutorial for people to follow and do the same.

 

3. How do you go about coming up with your ideas?
For Epic Forge Tutorials I try to come up with things that are both unique and cool. I will start by thinking of something that would make a map more interesting, such as a deployable bridge, and then go into forge and figure out how to build it. I like to think, “There’s always a way”.

 

4. What’s the most memorable thing that happened while you were playing Halo on LIVE?
That would have to be staying up till 5 in the morning with three other friends, attempting to get the Halo:ODST Firefight Vidmaster achievement as part of the Road to Recon. After over 8 hours of attempts we finally got it and ran outside celebrating and waking up the neighbors.
