Epic Default Productions

So, as you can tell if you have been following us for a while, we barely know what we are doing here. Read: Barely Update the site.

So here’s the deal, I’m throwing open the door to EDP. You don’t have to worry about breaking your foot. There’s a lot of things going on in the core of the staff’s lives, either currently, or possibly upcoming, that will even further hinder updating regularly. So if you ever wanted to have your voice heard, let your design skills flow, or just generally have fun making fun of geeky things, now is your opportunity.

Now realize this. Currently, we do not make money off of what we do. This is a labor of love. We are looking at Avenues in order to get some income coming, but more than likely, all that is going to do is pay the basic costs of keeping the site running. If we happen to become profitable, well then pay will be discussed. Just don’t come into this expecting money, more than likely…you will be disappointed.

Here is what our plan for the site is. We want to do blog posts that are news related, but isn’t necessarily news. It’s more editorial than anything. If we happen to stumble upon a tip, or a connection, or someone giving us an exclusive, we definitely will report on it, but mainly we’ll just be giving our take on what is going on in the news. We’d like to get it to at least a post per day, but maybe even up to Kotaku, Joystiq, Destructoid, Sarcastic Gamer standards (Read: multiple posts per day.) The podcasts are trying to get to a point where we can get an episode out at least every other week (currently, that is not happening…sorry). Video skits and content is trying to get out at least once a month. We want to have a store where we can sell shirts, stickers, buttons, mouse pads, mugs, bobble heads, vibrators, you know, typical merchandise. We also want to get a forum community up, and a site that is both good looking, but not confusing.

The thing is…the 5 people on staff currently are all learning as we go, which is cause for most of the delay. The writing is the only thing that updates regularly because hey, we are some literate motherfuckers, but we’re flying by the seat of our pants on everything else. So we need help.

He’s what we need:

Article Writers — People to write editorials about geeky culture

Video Content Writers–funny people who can come up with jokes or funny stories that can be filmed

Podcast Panelists–Opinionated people who would like their voice to be heard…literally

Article Editors–People who have a keen eye for typos, grammatical, and train of thought errors

Video Editors–People who like to sit in front of a computer for hours on end watching hacks try to be funny

Podcast Editors–People who like to sit in front of a computer for hours on end listening to hacks try to be funny, and have a good pod safe music collection. Or at least can find good pod safe music

Web Gurus–People who would like to design and upkeep our site. It’s currently WordPress which works fine, except for a few code things that we can’t decipher, but you are welcome to design a site from the ground up if you would like.

Designers–People who can be funny with photoshop, design logos and merchandise for us.

Video Actors–People who think they can be funny on camera. Note: If you are not located in or around Houston, you must have your own camera as well.

The cool thing is that you don’t have to take on one job. Lets say you’d like to be apart of the videos, be a podcast panelist, edit said podcast, and write for the site. You can do that. Say you’d like to design the site, create post photos, write scripts, and be a part of the podcast. You can do that as well.

The one thing we pride ourselves upon at EDP is that it is a community effort. Everyone’s voice is heard, everyone’s ideas are welcome.

If you are interested or would like more information, please leave a comment here with an email address or send us one at epicdefault@gmail.com.

We look forward to hearing from you.
