Rooster Teeth / Achievement Hunter / Let's Play / Funhaus / Inside Gaming - The company was resurrected.

[Chilson]

And as a capstone, Jack bitched to Burnie for weeks on the podcast that the company needed to find storage room for it, because he didn't want to destroy/recycle it or let it rot in his own backyard.

And for weeks it was explained to him in excruciating detail that it was a fire hazard, general waste of space and just fucking stupid to get so worked up about it.

But its Jack, a literal man child who loses his shit at even the slightest indication he won't get his way because he has had no real conflict in his bitch made easy life.

 

[LecherousGranolaBar]

Trying to understand where the rage would come from regarding a signature. Because it was something special being treated as a joke?

The Tower of Pimps is considered special? It was a random joke that snowballed into a trophy. Even when I loved AH, that's all it was to me.

In all fairness, it was something stupid that they'd made when LPs were just fucking around with no expectation that became an icon of them being catapulted into being a very large player in the YT space at the time. I can imagine it would be have personal relevance. Add in the personal touch of a family member recreating it at such a scale and I can understand having a connection to it.

But all Jack had to do was just... not react. If he had gone "very funny Joel" over and over and not reacted, Joel would have had no power. And if he wanted it to last that bad why the fuck couldn't he have taken care of it himself?

Not an attempt to defend jack, but joels argument for wanting to sign the tower was that he owned the company and thus it was his property and he could do what he wanted with it. So I can understand jacks frustration but I don't agree with his cry baby attitude over it.

Man if one of my employees built this giant fuck off fire hazard of a thing and then whined to me for weeks about wanting to store it in my building after I never once asked for the damned thing and after I repeatedly told him that I did not want it I would also make an outrageous demand in hopes that my employee would either take care of it himself like I want him to or capitulate to my outrageous demand. Fuck that guy, I don't want to be saddled with that employee's garbage, especially when it's both gigantic and highly flammable.

Bit late on this, but I definitely agree what Geoff seems a lot more genuine and kind compared to Jack. Unfortunately, I think it’s the fact that Geoff is as genuine as he is as to why the company’s keeps throwing him out to be lambasted for being white and everything. I don’t doubt they pressure him to “stick up for and protect” their employees when they get mocked on Twitter or something. I specifically remember when he came out to speak about the layoffs back when, and he actually looked like he felt horrible that the company fired so many people.

Dude cares a bit too much and gets taken advantage of because of it, essentially.

But as for people marking things Jack made with his dad…

So did Jack react to his desk being scratched like that?
You know all this AH deep lore and drama makes me think if there's similar stories about FH. All I know is that Lawrence first marriage ended in a divorce, James and Elyse can't have kids, Adam's father left him and his family at a young age, Joel is jewish, and yet they all live with that and joke about it.

I still remember, Galacticraft Part 1 or 2, Ray joking about Michael being an electrician and he told him to "stop saying that" when they were talking about the copper wire items and Ohms. Electrician is a tough job, atleast in EU, but if you've worked into it for a few years you get a nice paycheck and benefits.

I don't think they filmed the reaction. They might have talked about it on Off Topic but I can't remember if they did and fuck going looking for it.

I'd say FH doesn't have as much lore because they didn't powerlevel as much, but also because their stuff was more trimmed down than what AH did.

Sure, but Funhaus definitely was more comedy centered and less chaotic. They didn't have a Gavin that midway through their videos just detonates their entire Minecraft city to spice up the video. I miss them.

So James and Elise can't have kids? I thought it was a career/expense choice.

 

[Fools Idol]

I wrote a long post about what's going wrong at RT and how I would fix it but frankly it was completely redundant. Everyone with a brain knows how they've got to this sorry state and everyone knows that they need to cut the unfunny and talentless fat that make up the company as a whole now.

Focus on the product that makes money, the talent you have left. Give them the breathing room to do what they want and give the view the ability to chose who the watch, if that means breaking up AH or whatever the so be it. Drop all RT production including the animation dept and completely downsize, I know streaming services are in desperate need of content but the shit that dept squeezing out is completely lacking in any quality and they aren't going to pay top dollar for it. It isn't 2010 anymore, your competition is shit like Netflix's Arcane and maybe that isn't fair but it's just reality.

Downsize and become a multi channel network operating out of a small office and let the talent move into full time streaming.

The problem is that then the talent has no reason to be associated with RT. RT's biggest competition is actually full time streaming since its something all their talent can do and, as Ray demonstrated, something far more profitable for them.

The fact that only Jeremy is really double dipping by solo streaming and appearing once in a blue moon for AH is actually a miracle for RT because its something the rest of them should be doing far more.

The only things RT has going for them that I'd put stock into are RWBY and Death Battle at this point, except one has well lost its flavor and charm and is only getting more and more rotten with every year, and one will be taking the first lifeboat possible to a place where they'll be provided the means and creative freedom once they see the ship taking on water.

RT's worse off than that. Death battle may be popular but when you look at it, there's nothing there for them to take advantage of. There's four "characters" and the rest are all tied to IPs that they don't own (except maybe the rvb episodes but the question there would be how much does 343 and MS claim ownership of that IP since all the assets are from halo). Not even including Ben's involvement in the wet fart that was rvb zero. Ironically the only thing the DB crew can do is DB.

And RWBY is being overshadowed by amateurish rewrites by degenerates for the "fan's" attention. Nothing they have is passable and original. And that which might've had a chance gets canned because they have no form of forethought or planning for their productions anymore.

Was it? Cause if it is like you said, good on them.

 

[Owls Owls Owls]

I think James and Elyse simply don't want kids. I remember her saying in a video that she never felt anything close to maternal, and while she does enjoy playing with kids (she has mentioned playing with Alvin, Joe's oldest, and Elyse's nieces and nephews) she never felt the need to have one of her own.

And because they are James and Elyse they constantly joke about her miscarrying or being infertile.

Cross posting from Happenings

So, Funimation is dying as a brand:
Todd Spangler of Variety reported that Sony has restructured its subsidiary, Funimation Group, LLC, into Crunchyroll, LLC. Furthermore, all the titles streamed by Funimation (as well as Wakanim and VRV) are being transferred to Crunchyroll.
According to Spangler, "future new series will be exclusive to Crunchyroll starting April 1, and Funimation will only continue to add new episodes of current series":

Crunchyroll Is Adding All Funimation Anime Content, Sony Starts to Phase Out Funimation Brand

Sony is effectively merging its two anime streaming services, announcing that Crunchyroll subscribers will have access to library and simulcast content previously available exclusively on Funimatio…

I have no idea how this will affect Funimation's physical distribution (DVDs & Blu-Rays), but its streaming services are in hospice.

Eat shit Funamations, Monica, and Ron.

For a while before Lindsay got pregnant, Michael joked that his dick didn't work regularly.

I agree with that, that's why i think Geoff needs to step away and find something else.

But as for people marking things Jack made with his dad…

On the one hand it's shitty to vandalize someone else's property, on the other hand turnabout is fair play. Jack has no right to vandalize someone else's desk and then get angry if it happens to him in turn, and I assume he got very angry when he found out about this. Although I treat this as further proof of Geoff being a decent guy, "I don't think it's cool that Jack fucked up Jeremy's desk so I'm gonna fuck with him a bit where he can't see it easily."

Sure, but Funhaus definitely was more comedy centered and less chaotic. They didn't have a Gavin that midway through their videos just detonates their entire Minecraft city to spice up the video. I miss them.

Funhause wasn't a lifestyle in the same way AH was. FH treated FH more as a job and mostly kept their personal lives separate.

 

[Dumpster dived waifu]

I assume he got very angry when he found out about this.

Considering there's no video of him reacting to it, and I don't think he said anything on the podcasts, safe to say he was filled with impotent rage and probably cried to HR that he was being bullied.
