ReclaimerHub |OT| 1th More Unto the Breach

(Click the banner above to go to the homepage. Image headers for content types below link to their respective sections, as well.)

ReclaimerHub is a Halo content platform and community rally point designed to be an accessible, flexible and visually appealing one-stop shop for Halo fans looking to get more out of the franchise. We feature a fairly wide spectrum of media types and series, all managed by a (currently) six-man crew. While we have several satellite series at this point, our three major forms of content are as follows:

TRINITY
These content types typically see a weekly or bi-weekly release schedule when combined, providing a steady stream of Halo content to complement and supplement emerging media.



Our series dedicated to covering totally new developments within the series, with a schedule based on updates as they come.



ReclaimerHub's humble, bumbling beginnings: podcasts covering the inner machinations and external developments of the Halo franchise.



The third leg of the Trilogy content series, with articles on the most esoteric elements of Halo lore this side of the Orion Arm.

SERIES
Other content types include:

Reclaimer Recap. Our series for updates and developments on known pieces of news. Weekly recaps are generally produced either by Austin or Ian. The Recap is the second member of the Reclaimer Trilogy series - i.e. our primary mainstay forms of content, though as of late it has been succeeded by the more frequent and quicker-to-release News Flashes.

Conjecture Coda. Conjecture Coda is our speculative discussion video series where we pull from various locations in the Halo community to develop ideas concerning otherwise unknown elements of the Halo franchise, generally those at the present forefront.

Encounter. Encounter is the sister series to Gone Rampant: while our let's plays are primarily PvP, Encounters are PvE, or at least come about with the intent of a cooperative objective, such as winning a match using only melee attacks. Encounters are also occasionally used to hold interviews with guests unfamiliar with the Halo franchise.

Gone Rampant, or simply Rampant, is our Let's Play series. Rampants are almost always PvP multiplayer with anywhere from two to sixteen players in various Halo titles - sometimes more than one per episode. Tentatively speaking, our expected rate of distribution for let's plays is once a month.

Riff(s), as the iconography may suggest, are equal parts random and unrelated to the forefront of our informative Halo content; they're mixed-media anthology pieces that can't be sorted into any other category, from live-action videos to podcast dance remixes to cutscene commentaries in the style of MST3K. Due to their relative ease to produce, they're by far the most common content we'll be distributing for now, with a tentative schedule of once or twice per week.

W2T2, short for Welcome to the Terminus, is ReclaimerHub's current ongoing ARG (Alternate Reality Game) series. It's currently only text-based, but will receive short "audio log" or audio drama-style entries in the future.

THE TEAM


"343's gonna be really mad at - at all the money they paid us to be secret, stealth, uh... publicity for them."

Austin "Mix" Ford

Austin originally proposed the concept of Reclaimer Radio as well as the Reclaimer Hub upgrade to the team. Without a doubt fulfills the dedicated team leader / "protagonist" role and generally coordinates and manages the group. Typically closest to the forefront of Halo news as well, frequently attending Halo events like RTX, and as a result heads the News Flash segments. Needs to spell-check.


"It was a no-scope, I'll have you know."

Adrian "Ghazzarro" Ghazi

Ghazi has generally been a "fifth ranger" sort of type among the Hub crew, even in its original team of four. He supplements a large number of Halo discussions and is without a doubt the most frequently involved in broader gaming communities compared to the rest of the team. He likewise has pretty diverse tastes in games, including other titles such as Destiny and the Demon's Souls franchise. Extremely busy in the real world.


"The podcast is already, like, driving with the e-brake on."

Tyler "GringoSuave89" Giering

The Hub's first additional hire, being the most objectively well-read in Halo lore. Indeed, Tyler's objectivity makes him a strong complement and supplement to Wahrer, whom is similarly versed but strongly subjective and speculative. Tyler takes on a handful of research endeavors such as Writeups and covering Warzone in RR7, and typically grounds or adds a grain of salt to Wahrer's more... quantum posits.


"I like to be proactive, or, retroactive, or whichever one."

Ian "azoojoo" Kerns

Fills the role as a lancer / sidekick to Austin both on frontend and backend fronts (and backs). The two knew eachother the most properly before ReclaimerHub's foundation having originally met up at RTX together, and in discussions Ian tends to back up Austin by tempo-matching his laughter on cue, without fail, and adding copious amounts of homoeroticism to his back-and-forth with Austin. In charge of most of the (rare) live-action videos and covers the occasional Recap.


"So, for the first time in Reclaimer Radio history, we actually have confirmed facts to talk about!"

Steven "Jellycrackers" McDonald

The Hub team's second hire outside of the original four, Steven is the only commercial music producer of the group (Ghazi produces recreationally and Ian / Wahrer don't live off the income they get from their music). His knowledge in media applications makes him helpful for getting opinions on the site and fine-tuning the podcasts; serves a Ghazi-esque role on podcasts, typically supplementing or punctuating larger discussions. Also produces most of the gameplay content.


"Remember when this was a Halo podcast?"

Adrian "Sub-Zero at a Starbucks" Wahrer

The highly capricious emotional core of the team, Wahrer is a catalyst and foil in equal parts. Well-read; not the greatest player, but can give you the measurements of a CCS-class battlecruiser at the drop of a hat. While Tyler is factual, Wahrer goes full tinfoil on the lore - though given the frequency at which these conspiracies actually come true, well... (in terms of his actual role, he's the team's primary backend manager and produces Reclaimer Radio as well as most other audio-based content.)
