Thoughts on Roosterteeth?
To me they were okay in the early 2000s but from what I can tell the company has become a cash grab since about '08.
Movie was shit, just a fan circle jerk.
RWBY game is another shit-tier greenlit game.
Content got so dry they used cosplayer Meg Turner to draw horny teens into fan base.
Is the only thing keeping them going the conserved momentum of the huge fan circle jerk?

I don't get what people like about it. The animation isn't very good and the jokes are lame. There wasn't much of a plot or anything like that.

Not trying to be contrary, I just don't know why people love this stuff so much.

>>343419037
Yeah agreed honestly. RT used to be okay when it was a tight-nit group but now it's too big and way too unfocused. Their early podcasts used to be really enjoyable.

Fun Haus is like a better RT when RT was in their prime. Also, Elyse is better than any of the girls on RT, she's genuinely really funny without having to use some a fucking stupid shtick like the RT girls. She's also got a political science degree and chose to work in the field of video games instead of pursing a career path with her degree, she genuinely enjoys what she does.

The whole group pull their weight very evenly though, all funny and interesting while feeling sincere and unforced.

gonna add my 2cents on fun haus from this post.fun haus might shill now and again but they (usually) have good taste and will voice their opinions on a game without bias. and when they do payed lets plays they straight up tell their viewers at the very beginning of their videos.
when i was watching their e3 stream they each had differing opinions on games and didn't favor a certain company, they even shit all over the xbox portion of the show, unlike roosterteeth where they tried their hardest to be optimistic and feign excitement.
i might not be into roosterteeth or fun haus like my brother but i really do respect the FH crew over the RT crew ten fold.
>>
>>343413285
Did she add anything? I really mean that question, did she add anything at all to the whole of RT?
If she and Ashley were replaced by random titty streamers on twitch then there would be absolutely no difference in quality or impact. They are each the most bland people of RT, compensating with "bubbliness" doesn't give you a fucking personality or humor.

Most of Gavin's life has been defined by Roosterteeth. He became a major part of their fanbase the moment he hit his teens and has only grown with them since. He's the creative director for Roosterteeth.

Roosterteeth have had a fairly interesting existence so far. All of their content has been hit or miss, but the hits have been huge. I remember when RvB blood gulch Chronicles were still coming out. Even back then, they had two other machima projects that were pretty bad, but rvb was a big enough success to propel them into the spotlight. And its really impressive what they were able to do with it, from early rvb DvD being sold at gamestop to getting bungies support and everything. Its a perfect analogue to their company as a whole. Their failures have been small and their successes huge.

Its kinda crazy that theyve gone from a one-hit wonder to having their own con, multiple youtube channels, multiple series, investors, the whole nine yards. They are definitely one of the early video content creator success stories, and I dont honestly know how i feel about it. Its almost like the tripped and somehow found themselves in this position, and are just running with it. I kinda love it, kinda hate it.

But not as much as i hate what they did to RvB. The BGCs had a perfect, cyclical ending and it shouldve stayed that way.

I haven't paid attention to Rooster Teeth proper since Blood Gulch Chronicles ended, but I'm subscribed to Slow-Mo Guys.

I watched their first season of the halo videogame show.

Didn't know they were anything past that until they tried to disrupt Giant Bombs eternal comfy chill with their fallout 4 shit.

Saw the one clip of them talking shit about The Gerstmann and got that instant vibe of trying to sell me on shit I'm not buying and why I generally don't fuck with the rest of gaming community outside of Giant Bomb.

Couldn't tell them apart from a polygon, ign, or kotaku like brand if you had a gun to my head.

I kinda like rwby. It's so retarded and all over the place but it's charming for some reason. The dumb overly long anime fights get real tiring real quick but the character interactions are interesting enough.

It's so bizarre seeing where they are going and I guess I'll stick with it for some reason.
>>
Only watched them for RvB. I watched up to Season 8 and found it to be mediocre. Everything else is sort standard but uninteresting.

Arby N' Chief still stands up to RvB despite having a lower budget.
