Question

How can one go about doing that. I am betting it has something to do with the routing engine. Not sure though. I will continue to browse the interwebs…

You’re right, you will want to change your default route. It is in the Global.asax.cs file (by default).

The default one looks like this:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default", // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);

This line:

new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }

Is the defaults. The default controller name is Home and the default action is Index. Change them to what you desire.
