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

[The Internet Dick]

I saw the last installment of RvB, Burnie's attempt to give his brainchild machinima a proper sendoff, and it was frankly terrible. I loved that show, btw. At its best, RvB was the funniest thing going.

So one of two things is going on with rebooted Rooster Teeth:

1. Burnie just can't let it die for sentimental reasons. This is bound to fail. Business is business and sentiment has no place in it; or
2. Burnie has a great idea for a fresh, new, and exciting web-based series or film project and he wants to use his creative reputation and Rooster Teeth's name recognition as the means by which he can make and promote it.

If Burnie doesn't have a great, non-Woke idea driving this, then it won't work and Rooster Teeth dies again.

EDIT: Corrected misspelled name.

Fingers crossed we can get the dunkleman crew back and bring back the roosterteeth everyone loved with such favourites as Krystal Meth, and black lesbian #7 and even black gay man,

 

[Pecano]

Not saying it will succeed, but if there isn't:

- a million stupid podcasts
- 50 black gay people
- random fucks no one gives a fuck about
- trevor
- geoff crying every five fucking minutes
- slop content with slop adhd editing

Then it might have some chance of success. I'm very much intrigued, ngl.

Burnie should hire Joel and Ryan.

They've also probably put cancerous shit in Camp Camp to make up for its "problematic" elements too

They did that actually in its last season, IIRC (since I had no hope that season will be good) a lot of the va’s got replaced, they had dolf’s design change that only a tumblr user could love (believe me I know his old design was controversial but god the new one isn’t better), had an episode where someone questions their gender.

While I do agree that the previous seasons of camp camp wouldn’t fly at all today but they lowkey removed what appealed to people in the first place.

In a big fuck you all to the haters, Rooster Teeth is back.

Spoiler: Letter from Burnie

Hiya.

Almost one year ago, we were all saddened to learn that Rooster Teeth would be shutting its doors. Today, I am very happy to say that I have completed an acquisition of the Rooster Teeth brand and many of its remaining properties.

The details of all this would be too much to communicate in a letter on a website, so please tune in to the February 5 episode of the Morning Somewhere podcast below if you want to find out more. Or you can check out the press release.

There is a lot of work to do around here before our re-launch. In the meantime, I hope that you will join me in welcoming back a brand that has been so important to so many people for so many years.

Stay tuned. More to come.

Christ, they can't even be original in their comeback announcement OR discret as to how much they're putting money into this. Even if they're getting a "fresh" start on this, were they just oblivious to how tainted the name has become?

 

[TowinKarz]

What made Rooster Teeth worthwhile were the personalities involved, and nearly all of them have turned into obnoxious assholes. Unless Burnie finds suitable replacements (extremely unlikely), then I expect this to go the route of the G4 revival and die after a year.

Also, how strong is the appetite for just watching other people play video games?

It may be a thing that kinda came and went, is anyone out there really clamoring for it?

I have no idea because I'm not much of a gamer, but, was what worked in 2015 going to work today?

Everything has a lifetime, even media formats....

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

Burnie fucking Burns. You couldn't come up with a more villainous name if you tried.

I believe he's going by Mr. Burns these days.

 

[Evil Peter Griffin]

I believe in Burnie the Necromancer.

Unless you are Chuggaaconroy—though his views had been declining long before Bigfoot Transgender Ginger canceled him for roleplaying dumb shit on edgy-era internet with a girl who has already been doxxed on this site—you should be playing indie horror games. Playing family-only games is completely dead in the water.

They dont have a good idea and they dont even have nostalgia, they just dont have anything else. I feel like this is going to be a speedrun of the G4 "Revival"

 

[verymuchawful]

Burnie needs to get married to a Ms. Gores.

 

[Pat Fried Rice]

Can we get a new poll on how long this thing goes before the plug gets pulled?

I want it to be great, like early 2010's RT, but I'm just not that confident unless Burnie does some major tard wrangling with the incoming staff

 

[Mac Monster]

I believe in Burnie the Necromancer.

I'd say he's more of a necrophiliac than a necromancer.

 

[John Constantine]

Gen:LOCK was already hated and memed on for being garbage even during the trannyloving peak. And Camp Camp's relevance got strangled when they forced it behind a paywall. They've also probably put cancerous shit in Camp Camp to make up for its "problematic" elements too (one kid's whole purpose is to be a walking Hitler joke, another kid's real name is Gaylord, there's an episode dedicated to David dating a hoodrat and facing the consequences, etc).

Max would 100% call the remaining RT fanbase niggers and faggots.

The best thing about the latter seasons of CC were the outro-raps. I ain't Bossman or Ralph, but I enjoy some black people tunes from time to time. But yea, that series would have to be tuned down.
Also, wasn't there that Nomad series as well or am I mixing up e-celeb channels?

Which of the gamer girls would be the one to nuke it day one by going off-script to whine about the male gaze?

I'm trying to figure out how to make a new pole but a lot of tools used to modify an OP are for some reason not visible to me. It's also why @Null went and changed the title to "the company is now dead".

If you see this, Null, call me a tard and feel free to point out where to access the editing tools.

 

[Cave Fisher]

What's the plan? Most of their old shows have no interest left, are too expensive to make, and/or don't even belong to them anymore. What, are they just gonna make RvB again after its been shit for years and had a subpar ending?

 

[Zalvert]

Is Burnie man enough to ignore the cancer that previously killed RT like Trevor and all the Shaniquas or will he let everyone come in and ruin everything again?

 

[Computer Guardian]

They don't even have the nostalgia factor G4 had and most people were turned off with how eagar the people working at RT were willing to hindenberg the whole thing, what's the fucking point?
