INTRODUCING - PushedToInsanity

Sometimes we meet people in our community that go above and beyond all expectations, And Mo from PushedToInsanity is no exception. I first discovered PushToInsanity after noticing his work appear on a friends YouTube channel, I kept a close eye on his work, which has gone from strength to strength. Now with our brand new YouKnowYoureASpartan YouTube intro i would like to introduce you to the man behind the intros, As we speak with PushedToInsanity....


Hello there, Firstly thank you for your time and dedication working on our new YouTube Intro! Would you like to introduce yourself and tell us a little about what you do, and how this all started?

My name is Mo, Also known as PushedToInsanity. I mainly make intros for youtube channels as of now, however I have plans to do tutorials and more intro giveaways in the future. When I started my youtube channel I thought its main purpose would be to store my intros so I can go back and see my progression, that was not that case. People started to gain interest in the work I was producing, so I started giveaways. Now I aim to do intros to the best of my abilities and always learn new things in motion design. 

You have worked on various intros for numerous YouTube channels, from Moreconsole to Biowolf93, And now for us here at YouKnowYoureASpartan, You seem to be turning afew heads in the process, How do you find managing everything?

Making intros is a very time consuming process due to the deadly render times. However I just manage everything according to who was first (first come first serve). 

How long have you been making such creations? And do you have any future projects in the making that you'd like to discuss?

I have been making intros for about 8 months now. At the moment I am in university and dont have as much time as I would like to make intros, however there are still a lot of intros that will be made for people. I might also start doing my first tutorial series if I find a good idea to make a tutorial about.

Can you share with us your website/websites where we can come and check out your work?

I have a website that was made by a friend of mine (www.IntroMonster.com) If you want to check out most of the intros I've done, it is best to check my YouTube channel - YouTube.com/PushedToInsanity or add me on Skype and I can show you some more intros that are not on my YouTube channel. I also have a twitter (Twitter.com/PushedToInsanit) where I tweet a bit about the newer intros I am in the process of making. 

Thank you again for your time, We wish you every success with what's to come, and we will be sure to keep an eye out for you and your future endeavors! 

No problem, glad I can help.



And here it is! Our new YouTube video intro! Created by the man himself, PushedToInsanity...

HALO MEGA BLOKS - HANDS ON WITH THE MANTIS

After announcing the great news of our new partnership with Mega Bloks we have been giving the latest Halo Mega Bloks building sets a test drive,  So today we pleased to bring you  an indepth look at the new Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Mantis.

From just a glimpse of the beautifully designed box this kicks my Spartan nerd into overdrive, being one of my ultimate favorite vehicles from the Halo Universe it certainly ticks all the right boxes, and i wasted no time in unpackaging and spilling the 443+ mega bloks pieces onto my living room floor.

What may appear as an unorganized pile of bricks to some is viewed as an exciting challenge to me, my mission was to create a perfectly formed UNSC Mantis, worthy for the battlefield. With a simple and easy to follow colorful step by step instruction guide building the Mantis wasn't difficult, but instead became alot of fun, Seeing your very own Mantis take form with impressive attention to detail was very exciting and pleasantly surprising, The 5 year evolution of Halo Mega Bloks series has always earned my applause, and just when you think they've reached top marks for detail, they go above and beyond taking you away from the console and delivering Halo in an entirely different light, Which is a real blessing for collectors and fans alike. 

Once completed the Mantis stands around 23cm tall and comes with it's very own docking station which you can adjust the Mantis to sit nicely upon, The Mantis proudly sports the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) emblem on it's rooftop hatch, and the detailing of the mech are simply applied by stickers of which the instructions indicate where they belong. You also get a new Halo 4 Warrior spartan which fits perfectly into the Mantis driving seat making the perfect pilot. The spartan packs his very own SAW machine gun, ready to tear into the opposition. Over all the UNSC Mantis playset easily takes top spot in my all time favorite Mega Bloks sets to date, It was heaps of fun to build and packs an impressive punch once completed, This set along with others from the 2013 series which we shall be featuring each week here on You Know You're A Spartan are available at Halo.Megabloks.com.
