What is Rooster Teeth?

Rooster Teeth is a production company located on Austin, TX, that is especialized on video games content. It became famous after the success of the machinima series Red vs Blue, which uses the game Halo in order to create a whole new story. It's also focused on live action shorts, gaming content with the branch Achievement Hunter, and animated shows like RWBY.

What can I find on Rooster Teeth?

Rooster Teeth is branched in four channels:

-RoosterTeeth, where the main content is posted. Here you'll find the RT Podcast, the RT Animated Adventures (based on the podcast), Red vs Blue, RWBY, Achievement Guides for some of the latest games, This is... (with introductions of the latest games), How to (where Adam and Joel play games), Achievement Hunt (similar to the game HORSE), AHWU (fans saying numbers and on the middle an update on the news of the week), Fails of the Weak (covering bugs on the Halo Series), Immersion (Michael and Gavin try videogame elements in real life), etc.

-Let's Play, where the Achievement Hunter crew plays games on a weekdaily basis. Their most famous series are Let's Play Minecraft (that just reached the 100th episode!), GTA V and the shows Vs (where one member challenges another to a game) and GO! where the crew compete to be the first to complete the task designated by the leader Geoff)

-Gamefails, with glitches, fails... not that important.

- The Know, with daily segments with the latest news of the gaming industry.

I know there's already a Rooster Teeth thread on here, but it's been dead for a few months, and with the latest 2BFP thread, I thought RT deserved his own OT. If it's missing something, tell me and I'll add it.

Plus, I've "hid" a wrong information, let's see if you can find it :p

Well, I found your mistake:
Jack and Ryan are switched.


Anyway, the latest Minecraft lets play was really good. Looking forward to the next 100.

The waiter at Lunchbox Laboratory yesterday was wearing a RWBY bracelet. I almost asked him about it. But then I ate some fries off someone else's plate instead.

I'm surprised it took this long to get a Rooster Teeth thread.

I first heard of them from RvB, but nowadays I mostly watch their podcast and real life short stuff. Also love their Immersion series.

I remember these guys used to do Achievement videos on YouTube, didn't know they had a podcast. Subscribed. Also wasn't aware these were the Red vs Blue guys, but that was a million years ago!

I only watch them for Rage Quit and Achievement Hunter. Some of that Rage Quit stuff is pure gold. Had no idea they acquired Monty Oum as well, wow.
Might subscribe.

The RT crew are some of the nicest people I've ever met!

I was briefly in season 10 and got to tour the old studio and eat BBQ with Burnie. Easily one of the most fun days of my life!!!

I was super into Red Versus Blue around season 8, but then 9 went overboard on the plot and they brought in new people to handle the live action production that I wasn't super into. And Geoff stopped being on the podcast.

Has it gotten better since then?

Is anybody here a subscriber? I've been thinking about trying it out but it rather feels like the content associated with it just isn't as worth it as say a Premium subscription to Giant Bomb.

I'm usually not around at the times they do their live podcast streams, so those would essentially be wasted on me. But are there any other worthwhile benefits or are they planning on doing more for subscribers?

I loved RvB and have been a sponsor since I can remember but I kinda fell out of watching their stuff as they expanded. I don't really watch the AH stuff or any RT stuff the does not have any of the original crew I there. I still sponsor though cus I enjoyed what I have seen and I tend to remember RvB once a year and catch up + buy the blu-ray and listen to the commentary.

Damn, its taken us way to long to make a Rooster Teeth thread.

Looking forward to PS4 update 1.7 just because it means AH will start doing some PS4 lets plays.

Been a fan of Rooster Teeth for a long time now. I haven't watched Red vs. Blue in a long time, I'll try to catch up some day. The first 5 seasons are fantastic, but I wasn't a big fan of the later, more serious seasons with CGI. Their Minecraft Lets Plays are the best lets plays on YouTube, I always enjoy them. Podcast is great too, though I preferred the old format.


I'm still holding out hope for Strangerhood Season 2

I started to watch RT videos about a year ago or so and I'm subscribed to all of their Youtube channels now. I enjoy the content a lot, it keeps me entertained. I'm going to RTX this year and I'm stoked for it! Never been to Texas at all and Austin sounds like a fun place to visit!

In my opinion, this is some of the best free entertainment around. I knew about RvB a very long time ago but I never really got into it. Then a couple years ago, maybe less, I found Michael's Rage Quit series and fell in love. I watched all of them and then caught a couple of let's play with him and Gavin in which I couldn't stop laughing. Just by looking at more and more videos, I found Achievement Hunter which I quickly noticed was a part of Rooster Teeth. I thought to myself, I know that name. Cool. Well let me check out all this shit. Now I'm subbed to all of their channels and I watch some of their content almost every day. Usually when I'm riding my exercise bike after work. Call me easily entertained, but I cannot get enough of the AH Let's Plays. Oh, and RWBY is great too. Love that soundtrack.

I have to admit, when I first starting watching the large, 6 man AH Let's Plays, I could not tell Ryan and Jack apart at all. This actually bothered me because I couldn't pin down one or the other's personality, haha. Now that I've watched all 100 episodes of the Minecraft LPs and a bunch of others, I have no problem telling them apart but I was confused for a while there.

Also, no Lindsay in the OP? She's the voice of Ruby Rose and a regular on VS now! And engaged to Michael!

"Mad King" Ryan Haywood, member of Achievement Hunter and serial killer.

Lol.

I love Achievement Hunter's stuff so much, it's basically replaced TV for me now. I just stick a let's play on instead.

Mouse Trap was ridiculous. Geoff's delivery of, "Thrilling" had me laughing pretty hard.

Michael drives me nuts. He's like nails on a chalkboard.

Michael is the guy who got me into RT in the first place so he and Gavin, aka Team Nice Dynamite, are my favorites. I'm also very familiar with Michael's style since I was born and raised in New Jersey. He reminds me a lot of the guys that I used to hang out with regularly. Yes, we were loud and obnoxious so I can see where the hate comes from, but to me, it's music to my ears, haha.

There is just something about these guys that makes me constantly flip flop my opinions about them. I keep going back and forth thinking they are either annoying as hell or incredibly entertaining. Maybe it's because I originally followed them back when they just did Red Vs Blue and am still in shock at just how huge they've become since then.

The first Achievement Hunter video I watched was Mari0, and I was completely sold and that started my addiction. Their Let's Plays of Minecraft made me get the game, too. I watched about 30-40 of them over one weekend non-stop. I absolutely love the AH gang and wish my job was as fun as theirs.

Best is Mad King Ryan, though. Never fails to entertain.

I love Rage Quit, it seems so stereotypical "guy angry at games" but there are some really hilarious moments and quips amongst all the yelling.
