Walshy's Halo History: Episode 2 - Featuring Roy from Evil Geniuses

[@MagicButWhole]

Whose here in 2022? Bring these back @walshy! We need strongside Halo History

[@Sikdomeshot]

Man, I miss the days of being a kid and playing Halo with my buds. Such a good time of my life.

[@Shadykraig]

These conversations are some of my favorite videos on KZbin. I am 30 now. I started halo online in 2005 when I was a young teenager. Trying to get good at H2 was everything to me at that time haha. The few games I got to play with pro players stick with me to this day. It was that memorable and important to me. It’s amazing getting to hear the inside scoop from one of the biggest legends from one of my favorite teams ever. Thank you for these Walsh.

[@TitiusBodeVids]

Walshy's always my halo hero

[@MJ-iq9hv]

Titius Bode DUH

[@FBWalshyFTW]

So much nostalgia. Also, Redemption was Fonzi, Killer N, Captain Anarchy, and Foulacy if I remember correctly. I thought that team was gonna crush. I was wrong. :(

[@instinctmlbb757]

Bring back this series please Walshy.. I have binge watched the series for 5 years now it’s becoming unhealthy I need more🙄

[@Reppucci24]

Whats up Walshy remember me? I got a sponsor for AGP Philly. the guy ruynning AGP Jack Swayze The Digital Realm sponsored us for 3 events, 1 AGP and 2 MLG Hotel AIrfaire. Boston gamers, you might remember McGavin he had a big team in H2 IGS, made alot of 1v1 in H CE

[@b4onEY]

Man halo is the best game franchise, thanks for talking about your experiences playing it!

[@duds2544]

Fascinating. Thanks for doing this series. It's great to hear about these stories that happen outside of the game. Adds more depth, emotion, and insight to watching the pros play - then and now.

[@TheirSavior]

I met up with you at pax a couple weeks ago and I brought up how much I enjoyed the previous halo history video with Puckett . Glad to see you're back at it. I'm sure I can speak for a lot of people when I say we really enjoy hearing about how pros became passionate about the game. Thanks for everything dude

[@Metalheadspartan]

Woah 51 minutes of Walshy? Hell yeah!

[@ScottCastle]

Funny seeing you here :)

[@peggymoexd]

It's funny that the people Roy and Walshy played during this conversation are probably thinking "OMG I JUST KILLED ROY AND WALSHY" when in reality they're just half playing and don't really care.

[@xIPsychox]

true, everytime i kill a halo pro online, i record it :D

[@carloszavala6627]

So many memories, Roy the best BR ever.

[@friendofthelowly]

I'm so pissed my parents didn't let us go to MLG. I had a clan with my 3 older brothers. Back in 2004, we showed up at two local Houston tournaments. AP (Amazing Pickles), formerly JF (Jesus Freaks) showed up. They were the number 2 team to you and the Ogres. Killer N's squad. We beat them and won both tournies. We weren't allowed to travel cross-country for the big events. But we never lost a tournament. Killer N even told us we were the best team he's ever played. But we never got to compete. Would have been amazing to go head to head against you and your squad man. I'm the only one that kept going once H2 came out. I was #2 in head to head right behind Karma, then known as K 2 the Arma (before all the standbying and modding came out). What could have been. What could have been your biggest opposition on a team with two twins, and Walshy? How about a team of four brothers. Would have been an epic series. Mad love for ya man and always enjoy rewatching the old MLGs from time to time.

[@SlurpyAndExuvia]

You should have Gandhi on the show.

[@callmebern]

^^^

[@imaginaryoxygen]

Love watching these, so excited for Gandhi and Strongside next. Thanks so much for making these Walshy!

[@rhcpguitarar]

It's so weird to see Walshy not be the best H2. It feels like just yesterday he was destroying everybody. I know he's older and the reflexes slowly go, but damn. Time sure flies :/

[@oldboychano]

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth havent watched the vid yet but if he plays bad this game its because hes focusing on the stories, i remember he played shit in episode 1 aswell

[@TheTerrestrials]

Upperrcut For real, i bet its hard playing live and doing a interview at the same time

[@oldboychano]

absolutely.

[@cdv1qa]

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth He's really not trying very hard dude. Listen to the interview - he never stops talking.

[@normmacdonaldrules4602]

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth Older? Are you fucking kidding? F.Y.I.....reflexes and hand eye coordination don't peak until age 35. The problem isn't reflexes for any of these guys....the problem is being motivated to play in the same league as annoying teens and early 20 somethings that don't know shit about shit but pretend they do. Suddenly you wake up an adult and realize the children around you have nothing to offer.

[@Dagger_323]

51 minutes of awesomeness! Love this type of content, Walshy!!!

[@tb9514]

The greatest mystery for the past 7 years of my life was what truly happened to create the final boss schism... I feel like I finally have closure. I can be at peace.

[@caseyblack8192]

This video is fantastic. I'm so glad to hear these stories. I truly feel like I should have been there with you. I've always held the same view towards the game as you and Lunchbox (according to Roy). Roy is wrong though, there WERE spectators out there that watched the game and said "OMG did you see Lunchbox shoot 2 guys and touch flag!?" - that was me. I love you guys, and I love these stories. - Casedude

[@osirisfps]

I dont normally watch videos this long straight, but damn Walshy. Always fun to hear about the legendary MLG Pros and backstories! Great content David

[@MurrayMurr]

Walsh glad your back and playing again you were a legend bro good to see the man the myth the legend back in action

[@josephdemille6590]

This is an awesome vid! Me and my team actually placed 5th out of 24 teams in our first tournament and we had two subs! That was back in Halo 4 and we haven't competed since then but we're starting to find players who work well with us as a team so we might get into HCS eventually.

[@scacegod]

Love this series!

[@LoganSkylarCox]

Please keep KZbining Dave your small community loves you.

[@Gleevac]

This was great. Loved the long video.

[@user-ld3si9iy6s]

Wow, the fact that you were loyal to soviet like that was insane especially since that was basically your job. Much respect.

[@Lukehedrick90]

Awesome! I can't wait to watch the next halo history! Would be really cool if he could get Fonzi or one of those HCE/ early H2 guys that we haven't heard from in a while in a future episode.

[@zefie14]

You should definitely write a book, theres a lot of interesting stories everyone needs to know about, not just halo fans, but e-sports fans in general.

[@inosc0pei]

Gandhi would be a great guest to have on the next episode. But, and hopefully everyone can back me up here, it would be really cool to have one of the Ogres or Strongside on here. It would be awesome to see you guys talking like back in the old times, because right now everyone is missing H2 and H3 days, and miss the old teams and intense mainstage moments. I know I do :/

[@V4Velius]

Would love to see one of these with T2, given his recent retirement! Love these :)

[@bosomofvictory]

Active Camo always on, shotguns, no shields, on longest.

[@theplimfactor8838]

when the giggles make you miss an afk on a box :') 40:44 These are the best, Walsh

[@sketch3744]

24:05 It was Snipedown, fearitself, sk and hysteria. Ola was on ambush for All but the first tournament of the season.

[@deliverence999]

Walshy has had those Red Bull Astros forever! I swear I saw him use them in Reach.

[@DejitaruGhost]

Thanks for doing these Walshy, they're awesome!

[@ky333333333]

Walshy, man I can watch this for hours. When you interview them, can you maybe ask them what their sensitivity is, controller layout, any specialties they have. Also how do Teams work exactly, it seems players come and go, who is the Team leader and if the original team isn't involved, why keep the same name?

[@JanusDuo]

This was so much fun! Like everybody I miss the good old days of Halo 2 MLG VoD. By the time Halo 3 came out I'd moved on to EVE Online but it's very interesting to hear how things went. I can't wait for Episode 3!

[@RealStickyBusiness]

Walshy History + Gandhi Thoughts = Pure Magic.

[@Tdogg447]

Roy's a great story teller

[@stonedcity]

This really brought a nostalgic tear to my eye.

[@pur3gre3k254]

I just love how hes got this room with a computer a chair, and then in the background just a couch haha, only a couch, I wonder what's stashed in there ;p

[@sintherebel5756]

one with Ogre 2 next time would be cool if you guys are still cool...

[@aj2563]

Sinister Seth true

[@LegitOn3]

Awesome Walsh, love the content! Please keep it coming

[@hardway4475]

I know this is old af but I love these and I’d love if you started doing them again. The more informal and casual the better.

[@snoopj8013]

Boots the team player! That was awesome, probably a great memory to have

[@skinnydubz]

Pretty cool history upload Mr. Walsh!!!

[@crazymudman123]

Keep doing these man I loved this

[@mrpanchy9050]

Hahaha true brother story, breaking his Halo disc in his face. Had me rolling lol

[@hellowill]

Now this video is older than the Halo scene they were talking about. Wtf man.

[@GhostPraetor]

51 whole minutes of nostalgia? I'm in~

[@dkjfajdfjlkdkafkjdfk]

I really enjoyed this series, you should've just let Roy keep talking a bit more.

[@Gnurklesquimp]

As a big support player, I can relate to the stat screen dilemma at the end haha. I don't really understand why the spectators don't see the effort that actually led to the one guy they do praise getting the cleanups. It doesn't really matter for me, but I reckon the amount of fans you have has quite an impact on your succes within MLG (like you also touched on here, with the example of sponsorship)

[@Gnurklesquimp]

What I personally love seeing the most in MLG, is seeing pros perfectly manipulate their offensive and defensive angles. I've got a pretty good grasp of how the concept of ''angles'' branches off into loads of other strategical concepts, but I can never really seem to put it into practise properly.. Then again I'm inexperienced as a player and never REALLY tried to find the right spots and how they interact with your teammates'/enemies' locations. I'd love to see your perspective on what are the most important aspects of managing angles! I've asked some other youtubers and most were up for it, but some found it was a bit intimidating of a subject to cover haha. For every answer you get you get 2 more questions

[@robhamill293]

The "bickers" bit was hilarious - I used to play with ich1ban in Halo 2! haha

[@vendiblefish]

bring on ghandi next time

[@callmebern]

^^^

[@niksmokehouse]

That would be a fun convo, you should seriously bring Gandhi on.

[@aj2563]

yes

[@timpatrick83]

Gandhi would be sick

[@silverbackbacon5]

vendiblefish YES

[@TroyChewning]

That shockwave voice was hilariously realistic

[@jonesz95]

Love it, was long but enjoyed it very much.

[@gapastro]

Hey Walshy, if you ever decide to make another episode I would be very interested into getting to know your perspective of MLG as tournament organizers, like stuff happening behind the scenes, how close was your personal relationship with them, and how eventually things went downhill and died.

[@856polo]

The tony hawk of halo

[@nperalta117]

Ghandi would be great for the next Halo History!

[@iPlayiOS]

God dammit. The feels...

[@Chocolatedabest]

Great video! Would love to see you do an episode with Ogre 2

[@akangelvs7751]

Walshy, please make more videos.

[@RyanArthurWalker]

The "Mackeo face" will always be one of my favorite parts of the broadcasts back in the day. Whatever happened to good old Mackeo?

[@jasonking6052]

That redbull headset is sick!

[@jmagley2]

Awesome episode so many memories

[@3nderoX]

lmao the real reason he was dropped was because when he made the full house reference he called them the olsen twins xD

[@jmarth523]

I started playing claw back in Halo 2 because of you, cant hold a controller any other way.

[@iMsoRidiKulous]

my favorite gameplay of all time is roy when he was on instinct. most dominant player on the most dominant team they did not lose

[@jonathanslone8747]

That team consisted of cpt anarchy killerN fonzi and ramby

[@orielsy]

Should have let Roy talk a bit more. I think he had more to say. Maybe could have discussed what it felt like getting 1st place etc.

[@Stillrickyd]

He never lets his guests talk..

[@Mist3rRyn0]

love the series!

[@RealStickyBusiness]

It would also be cool to get Pistola on.

[@catachresis]

I'm finding a lot of weird connections between the Halo pro scene and Michigan lol

[@100_mph]

Yes

[@zyronn]

Write a book?

[@tehhaldiniho]

this was awesome literally awesome. the history of mlg. both seem such genuinely nice guys. they deserve their fame BTW what happened with walshy when/why did he leave instinct? how long did they stay together.

[@ABRAsylum]

He was dropped from Instinct back in '09 and he went to play for Carbon.

[@4shotter]

thanks for the video :) enjoyed it

[@shovv8958]

I don't give a shit about the rules. I'm watching this at work right now!

[@westonvos8693]

More vids walshy!

[@pro2col446]

Anyone have a link to that 5k vs. Redemption Midship CTF game? I remember the crowd going crazy and would like to re-watch if possible :)

[@HAvOKn255andtoxic]

More of this! Get strong side

[@renatox321]

Woooow dude you changed alot since the time you was playing mlg with Instinct! Because i recently find your'e channel

[@Buttfinckle]

Do you happen to know what platform he's playing the game on?

[@rssir5689]

2 of my fav players

[@Mjot101]

You should definitely do one with Gandhi and Pistola, an Ogre 2 one would be amazing as well

[@peppylafew116]

Come back where you at??

I know this old but will you ever make more Walsh

What kind of headset is that and how did you get the paint job

[@XxLowellxX]

Can you talk about Gun Shot?

[@Monvayne]

Bring Lil' Poison

[@ThatGuy-Official]

I went to high school with soviet. He was kind of a weird guy. one time i joined his group in halo 2, mlg ffa midship. I came through and won at the end with a come back from behind to take it 50 to 48 or something like that. We get back to the lobby and then the next thing I know I'm kicked. I hung out with him a few times he never seemed to like me, I think because of that game, cuz we had a few 1v1s near the end and i double shot yy double shot him so hard he probably shit his pants. Talk about a sore loser.

[@KRLAs]

You really are that guy, aren't you?

[@xneutralgodx]

Whats soviet doing now days?

[@snoopj8013]

Rebuilding the Soviet Union lol jk
