what happened
RvB went on past season 2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udo2IQXsGV8
RT is now so lazy that they want you to pay to watch them watch movies
faggots
Ray left.
Gavin Free
Michael Jones
Ray Narves Jr
Not actually them, but the females falling in love with lets players that followed.
Also, Meg. Meg is human garbage.
You've got like three or four stand out smart and funny females in the RT crew and then theres Meg who can hardly read a script, has shit opinions, cant write her own shit and when she did she released one she did it got the highest dislike rating of any RT Video and equated to "wow u fuckin nerds wanting vr girls who dont run their shitty fucking mouth instead of me u fuckin creeps brb let me pose in underwere so you can oogle at me instead so its not creepy" and only has a job for shagging Gavin.
there are too many series going on at the same time and as a result you have too many videos being released each day. it just becomes so overwhelming to the point where you stop watching it.
>latest off-topic podcast
>brandon comes in and starts vomiting words 20 decibels higher than everyone else
>>334682124
Burnie decided that RvB needed a serious storyline
Someone thought that RvB needed terrible animation
RWBY
They found out that they can release just about anything and their fans will eat it up
Annoying employees keep ending up on camera when they should be kept behind the scenes
money
>>334682124
they became corporate.
Rooster Teeth was always trash so nothing happened.
Monty dying should have been taken as a sign from God to stop putting edgelord cgi in their machinima.
They became microsoft's media pets.
They're the first big form of viral marketing and it wasn't even intentional.
>>334682124
What started as a series of loosely related Halo jokes somehow became a company.
Nobody had a clue what the company should do.
So now it tries to do everything.
Burnie sold the company to Fullscreen.
Fullscreen changed everything.
Working at RT turned into a retirement job.
Most important of all.......... Monty Oum died.
>>334684485
That dude's death was eerie.
He had an intense, carpe diem "sieze the day" philosophy and said he never wasted a moment.
Then he died for a completely absurd and unpredictable reason.
>>334684584
Standard procedure allergy tests and he fucking kicks it. He's accomplished more than I could hope to in the next 5 years (when I'll be his age).
>>334684119
>Burnie decided that RvB needed a serious storyline
Yeah, what the fuck is up with that? I still got some laughs out of the later seasons, but I preferred the first five seasons where the only story they had still wasn't too serious.
I don't even know what happened, my knowledge of Rooster Teeth doesn't extend past 2008 (and even then, it's pretty thin).
>>334684859
343i made RvB canon.
>>334682203
I'll agree with this because I'm pretty sure that's when I bailed. Might've been earlier though. I dimly remember the move to Halo 2 and then I quit watching because they started going up their own asses instead of making dumb game jokes.
>>334682867
>haven't watched Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter in 2 years now
>this is the kind of shit they're doing now
They're really set on having a finger in every pie aren't they?
the only thing i watched from these guys were the animated adventures and even i stopped watching them after i realized most of their stories are probably made up
>>334682124
RWBY
>>334685345
Funhaus is where its at
>NYE
>My girlfriend and I come back to our house but forgot our keys because we were drunk
>Have to cut open the flyscreen on a window
>Neighbor spots us and invites us over
>Go over to his house
>A bunch of people there
>Find out the neighbor works for Roosterteeth in Australia organizing conventions or some shit
>Talk about gaming for ages
Was an okay night, I was surprised that Rooster Teeth are still around.. I always thought Red V Blue were cringey as fuck.
>>334684485
Monty Oums death was the only good thing to happen to that company in years.
Man I hate Meg so much but Ashley is waifu tier. Good on Bernie, I don't watch RT anymore but he deserves someone cool like her.
Can we all just say fuck RT and talk about funhaus?
>>334686412
doesnt rooster teeth own funhaus?
im still salty elyse left to go there instead of staying at gametrailers
her boyfriend is so loud and obnoxious
she never gets any screen time, and if she does, he just steals the spotlight from her immediately by saying something loud and obnoxious again
>>334684328
>>334684485
This. Of course they were founded on a web series made out of a game from Microsoft, selling out shouldn't have been a shock.
It's still plenty entertaining if you find the shows on the channel you like, no one's going to like every show when they pump out so many.
>>334684230
This.
It was already on its proverbial death bed. That was the nail in the coffin.
Reminder that Funhaus shills their shit channel on /v/ all the time and are probably in this thread RIGHT NOW
>>334686636
This is true but funhaus is still good. Elyse is funnier than ever and james can be pretty gud even though hes an attention whore. Lawrence and Bruce are best replacement friends though
>>334687484
Elyse is genuinely funnier than the blokes (except maybe bruce)
>>334682124
>hundreds of minecraft videos
>they still scream when they're falling from a high height or when getting hit
I've never understood this. Why has screaming vowels become the new form of commentary? They're no better than the other cancer that breeds on YT.
>>334687907
because silence is bad in videos, you want to have a constant stream of conscious so that the viewers remain entertained.
no one is watching it anymore because they like minecraft, they are just watching it because they like the people playing for whatever reason.
>>334682124
Idk but xray and vav is fucking shit. So is rwby.
>>334687907
>hundreds of minecraft videos
>they still invite jack to participate
>>334688126
Jack makes me feel uncomfortable. I watched some video with him and Gavin and he was getting so mad. Was fucking sad to watch
>>334688126
The only reason Jack is still in videos is because he was there from the beginning.
>>334688125
>xray and vav
they really should have just left that as a casual passing joke and let it fizzle out naturally, but then they forced a show out of it. and of course the fans eat it up
>>334688023
You can do this without resorting to screaming. You could, for instance, talk normally like a normal human being.
I've lived with a diehard RT fan. I know how much of their videos are spent screeching like apes, and it pisses me off.
>>334688191
gavin really pushes his buttons and he knows it (at least he used to, i stopped watching about 100 episodes ago). jack getting mad is pretty entertaining to be fair
>>334687484
>yfw you will never have a wife who is funnier than you
>>334682124
They just couldn't compete with Mega64
>>334688207
it seems like every shitty joke they make gets turned into a show, or more likely a shirt.
I only watch their podcast
I recall RvB from original halo times, like maybe 2002? 2003? Don't know but anyway, I found out a year ago that those guys became rooster teeth or some faggot group and tried to listen their podcasts for a few episodes, but they were so full of SJW shit I had to stop and remove the files from my devices not to encounter that retarded shit ever again.
And I wanted to like their podcast, I really did. Too bad they turned out to be bunch of beta sjw's.
>it's a screwattack episode
Have you guys listened to The Know? It's the best source of out-dated news you can find!
>Know basically NOTHING about RoosterTeeth
>Going to RTX this year solely to meet a girl who I know also attends
They... have things that aren't strictly RoosterTeeth... right? Like, i'm gonna meet Mega64 and Behemoth but otherwise I have no idea why the fuck i'm attending this.
>>334688935
RTX has a surprising amount of YouTube guests. It's a pretty decent convention for gaming and Internet culture.
>>334682124
Ray lost his smile and Jack stopped being a cool bachelor, now everyone takes the business too seriously and the only cool people are Geoff and Ryan, and even they just go through the motions most of the time.
>>334688902
>The Know
>those godawful 'jokes' told with dead eyes by two women staring at the script in front of themI don't feel sorry for them, they asked for this
>>334682203
I honestly can't believe I watched up to season 12.
I seem to remember though it was mostly good until season 6.
Has any one seen that fucking awful movie they released a few months back?
>>334689229
Started watching it and had to turn it off... it's just.... not needed at all.
>>334684119
>Burnie decided that RvB needed a serious storyline
This is the only answer.
WHAT
WERE
THEY
THINKING?
>>334687218
To be fair, it took them 12 years.
Ashley is best RT girl
>>334689229
>mfw i backed it
First and last time I use one of those crowdfunding services.
Movie was okay.
>>334687484
Elyse is funnier then all of them
But theyre all so loud
>>334689341
>>334689867
I saw it in a cinema cause my friend worked there so we got drunk and watched it.
I think it is so much worse watching it with other people and realising that they found it funny.
>>334688902
>Dead eyes
>Im a nerd and a girl attire
>Just reading a script
>News is always late, and usually not news, just some thread from neogaf
>>334689964
Drunk Elyse is best Elyse.
>>334688902
I stopped bothering watching after the whole fallout 4 giant bomb debacle
I used to frequent Achievement hunter when they were making a bunch of videos like the lets play minecrafts, Go and VS but the difference between them then and them now is that they used to be excited to play these games, now it feels like they don't care what happens and nobody really cares who wins. It used to be interesting but now they're going through the motions and it's just not even worth watching.
The chemistry between them where they used to mess around feels like it's gone and they're doing a job instead of playing games with each other. Listen to any of the victories in any of the series I named above from 2 or 3 years ago, then compare the recent ones. They were excited and a bit competitive in a friendly environment, now somebody wins and it's almost sarcastic weak "yay" and everybody sort of just stops.
Also there were too many shows made every week. I'm not going to keep up to date with all that shit.
Also the minecraft lets builds were great because it was just Gav and Geoff talking about nothing and was great to listen to.
i havent watched RVB since 2014, and even then it was shit.
what the fuck happened to these people.
>>334690083
james a lucky man
>>334688902
I just watch the ones with the funhaus crew.
>>334690697
I'll miss the blurred out screaming Joel.
Did something happen?
I'm watching their mini golf stuff and it's comfy as shit.
>>334684584
>Hey honey, can we get a cat?
>But I'm deathly allergic to cats.
>Just get some shots, nothing could go wrong!
It's like the perfect murder.
>>334690951
is that what happened?
>>334690815
Take your pick:
-Bought out by corporate moguls
-Ray left
-Jack stayed
-Promoted a manlet to the main team
-Gavin got made creative director
-They exhausted all the funny options in Minecraft and GTA, but didn't have the balls to kill off their cash cows
-Sponsored videos
-Celebrity cameos
-We got jaded
>>334691064
Yup. Wife wanted a cat, he went in for allergy shots, reacted badly, went into a coma, she pulled the plug.
>>334691064
Another CuntCrime(tm) that will go unpunished.
Suck it, male choads. WE own you.
>>334688713
>It's a anyone but AH episode
Seriously, if you're gonna shill another aspect of your company you put yourself in THEIR videos; not put them in yours.
brehs...
>>334682867
I wish funhaus was doing this instead. I also hope they don't zoom in on reaction like in the trailer. It just looks tacky.
The funhaus crew did the right thing leaving machinima but god damn losing two members in such a short time is not good.
>>334691128
Ray turned to shit though, that company killed him.
>>334690951
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V2sBURgUBI
>>334691128
>Promoted a manlet to the main team
hey, most of those are genuine complaints but Lil J is way funnier than Ray "Put the memes in the bag" narvaez ever was
If off topics' shown anything, its that Michael is such a dickhead
Is On the Spot the only funny thing they do now days?
>>334691150
that's pretty funny
>>334691290
He still had his moments, even if they were more and more infrequent. Like when he spent an entire video playing San Andreas instead of GTA V.
What in the fuck happened to the Let's Play channel?
every video is a collaboration now
>>334691128
Jeremy is probably the best choice for people to promote to the main cast. The rest of them are pretty bad.
>>334691128
If i have to see another Feating: iJustine, i am going to be kill
>>334691371
the only funny episode was Geoff's first and last appearance.
Joel is the funniest motherfucker in the whole company I swear
>>334691602
The acceptance that there was no controlling that train wreck was amazing.
>>334691448
It's shilling. Probably some higher ups are trying to get the lets play audience to start watching the other channels.
>>334686346
3dpds cant be waifs normie
Funhaus are just so much better in every way
RIP Spoole
RIP Joel even though I just can't accept you're straight
>>334691152
Fucking kill yourself.
>>334691229
what the fuck am i looking at?
>>334683408
What was the video with the dislike ratio? I'd like to see it.
I used to watch them a lot, but just gradually stopped.
I wanted to punch Michael every time his stupid fucking face came up on screen.
He's the epitome of the totally unashamed, arrogant American kid who never learned not to be a complete fucking idiot.
The terrible bucket haircuts, the tatoos that don't fit onto his pasty noodle body and being an MLP faggot ontop of it all, like most of them.
I literally had to stop listening to the podcast because of Meg's grating voice switching between 5 tonal registers like a violin being tuned
>>334682124
Same thing that happened to every channel/website that become popular and tried to expand.
>>334690208
Roosterteeth is a corporation. Not one person.
Get it right.
>>334687907
they know what kind of people watch them and they cater to it
>>334691940
Micheal's gotten much tamer. He's still all of those things but to a much lesser extent. Aside from Ryan, he's the most mature one of the group.
it was good to see Ray with the Funhaus crew. I always thought he was the funniest one at RT and he did the right thing by bailing
>>334682124
no video games.
All their employees are married to each other or fuck each other.
>>334691878
bodyfat and not so bodyfat
>>334682867
aren't all reaction vids copyrighted now?
Anyone watching Amazing Race this season?
>>334692080
RT just abused AH's fanbase of 9 year olds that would buy any T-shirt that had something that Ray said on it that was only funny in the context it was said in. RT tried to force memes way too often and he got sick of it. Good on him for leaving and I know it won't happen but I want him to join FH
>>334692335
I caught a few episodes but I don't make a point to watch. Is Burns still in it?
>>334692370
>Ray got sick of memes
>he talks non-stop about how much he loves memes on his Twitch stream
>>334692404
Yeah they're one of the better teams
>>334692370
>RT tried to force memes way too often and he got sick of it
Are you joking? Ray literally got a Shiba because of memes. The only thing he got sick of was minecraft.
>>334691275
it doesn't affect them as a group, they will keep in contact with their gone friends if they want to.
>>334682124
these faggots joined them
>>334692467
They don't win
>>334683735
God, Brandon is so fucking annoying screaming for no reason.
>>334692701
obviously
>>334692631
literally who
>>334688023
>you want to have a constant stream of conscious
ALMOST constant. Just recently there was a video on the game "You don't know Jack" involving Jack, Matt, Lindsay and Jeremy where they just wouldn't shut the fuck up at appropriate moments such as when the game was explaining the rules, etc. First time I've seen so many comments on a video telling them to shut up.
I'll explain this so no one ever has to again.
Before
>Ray, Geoff, Gavin, Jack, Ryan, Micheal - same 6 characters consistently appearing
>Let's Plays, Podcast, Rage Quit, Minecraft, 5 Things, Achievement Hunter, Drunk Times with Gav and Geoff, and ocassional behind the scenes stuff were the only things posted
>Those things were posted on the same day each week on the same day, never overwhelmed with content and easy to remember what comes out when
>Very few videos with behind the scenes characters like Blaine and that other guy
After
>Ray Quit
>Ray was replaced with fucking Lindsey
>30 plus onscreen 'personalities' completely diluting the original six cast, plenty of new people are just wives and girlfriends and friends and shit who aren't entertaining
>Multitudes of different content, lots of which featuring side people like that one with Blaine and his friend where they do embarassing stuff - not entertaining
>Too much content released - non stop uploading means if you leave it a day or two you're overwhelmed with stuff to watch and can't possibly catch it all
>Anything with Meg
>Shitty Thumbnails for videos
>Moving away from games to try everything - anime, films, rip-off MST2k, gameshows etc
>>334689024
>Ryan
>cool
Mr. i dont drink because i dont want to mess with my brain. Also the most pussywhipped person on the planet
>>334692631
>that faggot on the left that's always wearing "smart" clothes
I tried watching a few of their videos when they joined Let's Play. They're aimed at the younger audience (obviously), a couple of their videos are "okay", like the bath bomb video and the stink bomb video, but they really are insufferable for the most part. I guess that's what happens when a 25 year old watches videos designed to entertain 12 year olds. As long as they don't pop up too often I don't see them being that bad though.
Funhaus is the best addition they've made and they are amazing. They have shit opinions but they are comedy gold. Don't know anything about Kinda Funny so I can't say anything there.
>>334691275
They lost 2 of their worst members though.
Now if only Lawrence would leave as well
>>334693139
they keep making those sounds "BRAAAP" "HOOOUP"
>>334692998
>Also the most pussywhipped person on the planet
Fuck off Geoff.
>>334693139
Hey Lawrence should stay. He's one of us.
>>334693037
>They have shit opinions but they are comedy gold
I agree. Whenever their podcast gets into the corporate side of game development I skip it.
>Don't know anything about Kinda Funny so I can't say anything there.
I only saw them in one video and they were pretty boring.
>>334693221
Yeah they seem to reuse jokes a ton now like Omar Cam. Random sound effects and even the retarded dubstep thing straight out of 2012
>>334693269
Sorry dear, love you dear. Hope you have a great day dear
>>334693139
Lawerence is our weeb though friend. He also does most of the writing for the episodes of "The Know" that they do. He is cringe worthy sometimes but thats fine.
>>334693729
>>334693312
Nah man, he's a pretentious smug prick
>>334693591
>Ryan is fucking both his wife and Meg
>Geoff isn't fucking anyone
Go away Geoff
>>334690136
>"How dare they give Fallout 4 an average score, they must be doing it just for attention and to look cool!"
>say this while wearing the promotional Pip-Boys on a Fallout sponsored podcast
>insult one of the most respected and knowledgeable game journos in the industry
Fuck Rooster Teeth.
>>334693816
Who'd they insult?
>>334692631
They pretty much had the same situation, one of their best people left and it all pretty much went downhill from there.
They introduced and kept people that nobody likes and it's gotten so bad that the two most entertaining people of the group are starting up their separate thing
>>334693771
how the hell is Lawrence pretentious or smug. He's the most self-hating person on there
>>334682124
sjws
>>334692775
>geoff snaps and tells him how annoying he's been for the past 7 years
>>334693997
what the fuck. Was this animated with 2007 Flash?
>>334694039
is he the one who always tries to talk about how much pussy he's gotten over the years?
>>334694119
he's the one who never contributes anything valuable to any conversation
>>334693771
Lol what mate? He hates himself immensely.
>>334693882
Jeff Gerstmann of Giant Bomb. He gave the console versions of Fallout 4 a 3/5 because of the glaring performance issues and bugs. The RT guys accused him of just doing it "to be contrarian" on one of their podcasts, and basically insinuated that anyone who disliked Fallout 4 was only saying that to look cool.
>>334694069
they lost their asian, so its all shit now.
i don't know, i've never watched it, all i know is the fucking asian guy who KILLED HIMSELF BY WORKING ON THIS STUPID SHIT TOO FUCKING HARD!
LIKE, HOLY FUCK, JUST GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK!
>>334694309
Monty? He died because of an allergic reaction
>>334694306
but, i thought this in about 4 days, ya know, when i beat the fucking game.
its just that i don't have a platform to tell the truth.
>>334694309
It wasn't overwork. It was a conspiracy from his bitch of a wife to kill him.
Poor Monty was foolish enough to go along with it.
>>334694069
No.
It was animated in a 1999 posing program.
>all these channels joining
>going to collapse in on itself
>becoming more corporate everyday and becoming less of a group of friends and more a collective of colleagues
>>334693729
He gets so excited during the Drunk plays too. Not to mention all the anime videos.
Lawrence is the best one on that channel.
>>334694309
The animation was garbage when he made it though. Just like all the animation is RvB was terrible also.
>>334694462
I am part of the cult of peake so Ill have to disagree that he is the best but the drunk videos are the best. Elise is such a funny drunk. James is even more over the top and RIP joel just got immensely salty right away.
>>334694728
>Elise is such a funny drunk
It's the only time she's funny. She needs to be quiet and do work in the background if she's not plastered.
>>334694864
No way, she and Joel were fucking great together
And her and Spoole
Fuck
>>334690815
Those minigolf lets plays are the best thing they ever made, I still watch them from time to time.
Shame they'll probably never make anything as good as those again
>>334694469
you mean, when it wasn't basic in game shit, instead of having long drawn out BS stuff that just BREAKS EVERYTHING?
glad i stopped at season 5
ya know, when it ended.
>>334691128
Hey man, Jeremy has that fresh feeling about him, and he seems like a gy you'd want to hang with
>>334691329
gee the autistic brony who forces tantrum mode for 'comedy' as a dickhead? That's shocking.
really though he's always been a dickhead. his early plays with gavin SCREAMS dickhead and jealousy
>people like jeremy
>RWBY has a race of minorities called Faunus
>One of the main four characters is a Faunus and an activist for their rights
>She's the "black one", literally it's her color and her name
>They make a huge deal about being oppressed by the government and protest it constantly
>Even though they have complete equal rights based on what's in the show
>Can own buisinesses, no shops refuse them service based on race, attend huge public gatherings without any segrigation, and can attend the most prestigious academies in the world without discrimination
>The only time a Faunus was ever put down in the show was by a literal school bully who also fucked with the main male character, a blonde haired blue eyed human
>Literally all Faunus introduced are either thieves, thugs, delinquents, or outright terrorists
>Dozens and dozens of them join up with a cult off the streets to try and kill humans for the hell of it
>The main Faunus girl was outted as both a Faunus AND an ex-terrorist because she couldn't help but argue with one of the other main girls (Whose color and name is WHITE) that #NotAllFaunus even though the white girl was FUCKING VICTIM OF TERRORISM BY THE FAUNUS
>said black chick also gets her teammate maimed - By a Faunus - and abandons everyone the second things go bad in the story
Maybe RT isn't so bad after all.
>>334694864
Nah. I like her stupid jokes.
>>334694969
RIP Spoole. RIP Joel.
>haven't watched anything from them in like 4/5 years
>click on a random vid to see what they're like now
>some bitch (i think she's burnie's wife) talking about equality and how it's about time they had more female characters in vidya games
>check /v/
>some anon posts a webm of gus, ryan and some other bitch getting mad at people who give AAA titles less than 7/10
This kind of shit breaks my heart.
>>334695536
Willy Wonka just installed wifi.
>>334682124
What happened was they were never funny and you got older and realized that. Good for you anon.
They stopped being a group of drunk idiot friends and became a business. Don't kid yourselves, they were always shills with terrible fucking opinions, but it was in an endearing bar argument sort of way. Even a few "additions" weren't bad. I've always like Gav, Ryan, and Jeremy.
But holy shit, it really started going downhill once it became all about "personalities" and they hired that talentless hack Oum. Not just a group of idiots anymore, now they're a goddamn corporate meme factory with a fanbase that desperately sucks them off to protect the feeling that these people are their friends
What happened? They found a fanbase that is easy to please and rip-off. Over-priced shirts, ads, sponsorships, decline in content quality, etc, it goes on and on. No wonder they keep saying they have the best fans in the world; they're making them so rich.
Hi i liek funhouse
>>334682124
Business bud. They became more about making money and having a massive group of people work for them instead of keeping it small and making shit videos on the internet.
>>334684485
his blood sacrifice turned RWBY into a good show at least.
>>334698273
Volume 3 was easily the worst out of them all. The show suffered from immense quality issues since Monty's death, especially during fighting sequences.
>>334698508
Nothing can be worse than volume 2.
>>334696065
It's one of those rare cases where it isn't just nostalgiafaggotry, they were genuinely funny and interesting and now they're soulless sellouts.
>>334698508
It was iffy during the first half but picked up in the second.
