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

[Vaping Autist]

If I am not mistaken, somebody hacked his youtube account and deleted a bunch of his videos. Don't know if he was ever able to recover the deleted stuff.

If I'm remembering correctly, I think this happened early on and when he got his channel back, Sly actually helped him re-grow his brand on Youtube.

Also, still Creatures related but... the legendary Road to E3 videos I still go back and watch to this day sometimes. Jordan/Kootra still had his shitty humour but Aleks and James really made both series work so damn well.

 

[Dustlord]

Jordan sinking the creatures is still one of the dumbest business decisions i've ever seen. It is very funny now though. Dude destroyed what could have been a decade long meal ticket. All he had to do was listen to James and not fuck the intern. James had the right idea of maturing the content with the viewer. Jordan wanted to be a child's group for some fucking reason. Interesting the group declined as he started making choices for everyone. His dumb decisions burned what was a massive viewer base for the time.

Sad. I assume Aleks is embarrassed about the immortalhd days because he was still young. James is unfortunate because snorting fun dip and his prank calls are some of the best internet stupidity.

I still laugh at some of the dumb shit that happened to the creatures. Like how their forums got classified by google as a porn site because of all the gay erotica posted.

Unfortunate there is no summary of the creatures history. I know someone on the farms mentioned making one but it would be a massive effort for a defunct group. They were an interesting part of earlier youtube. Surprised none of them ever devolved into cows. I know @Dustlord posted how James is probably the best example of how not to become a cow. I always thought Sly would get caught in some groomer shit but he seems clean to this day. The worst part was their lunatic twitch mods but I remember none of their names.

Edit: I remembered Jordan (Kootra) was mentioned in the Adam Kovic Ryan Heywood leaks. His name fell into the background because of the Heywood stuff. That is probably why he left the Internet.

I'm guessing Jordan thought he could continue bringing in new fans in the same demographic, but by the time of the cow chop split, videos like theirs were barely promoted on YouTube.
I would be willing to contribute to a thread about them, I was following Kootra and James before the creatures were even a thing, and continued until a while after the cow chop split.
However it does seem kinda pointless since none of them have become lolcows or been in any major controversy. I always figured sly would be the creep if there was one too, as he consistently had younger fans and just seemed like a weird guy in general. I hope the silence on the subject can be taken as confirmation that he didn't do anything.

Do you recall what Kootra was accused of? I always assumed he left the internet because he got a better job and didn't want to deal with the angry underage fans blaming him for the death of the creatures.

After the Creatures ended he got that job at IllFonic Games but apparently doesn't work there anymore? and him and Stef broke up. Around the time of the Ryan Haywood leaks Jordan also had some pictures leaked, but nothing full nude and AFAIK no grooming allegations or anything of that sort. Considering the old fanbase is still mad at him for how the Creatures turned out, it's safe to say that's why he left the Internet.

I would be willing to contribute to a thread about them, I was following Kootra and James before the creatures were even a thing, and continued until a while after the cow chop split.
However it does seem kinda pointless since none of them have become lolcows or been in any major controversy.

Of course, it wouldn't be too much of an active thread, more of a nostalgic thing and posts to kinda document the Creature's history, and for any potential future lolcow moments from the former members should that happen.

Also, still Creatures related but... the legendary Road to E3 videos I still go back and watch to this day sometimes. Jordan/Kootra still had his shitty humour but Aleks and James really made both series work so damn well.

Those videos are what I make sure to rewatch twice yearly, they're really great and nostalgic. Jordan wasn't too bad in them, but it was mainly Dan that was the unfunny one, along with Spencer in the 2015 Road Trip (I feel like they had too many people along for that trip). I feel it would have been perfect if it was just James, Aleks, Aron, and Dex for the trip (and Joe if he wasn't being made to do his fake persona).

A thread really seems unnecessary TBH. The death of the creatures was down to shitty management by a (if I remember correctly) high school dropout, Jordan. The dude didn't have the social skills, business knowledge, common sense, or genuine talent to run a business. He was not a DSP, someone who is genuinely malicious. He did mean for the best, but lacked the experience to actually know what was the best.

He was blessed with the good fortune to get on the YT train early and attract people so popular and funny, but all lacking in proper business acumen that he could latch onto them and take the role of leader for their group. Mix that with YT massively overpaying its content creators and no matter how awful with money Jordan was on a business level he still had plenty more to make this shit show work. Only when YT corrected its shit (the adpocalypses are merely corrections in overinflated marketing budgets, not genuine attempts to hurt creators BTW) and started paying out more reasonable amounts of money did this thing start to crash and burn.

Just to provide a few examples, they rented a hyper expense fucking mansion together rather immediately go the much more fiscally responsible (and less drama inducing) route of renting an office. Instead of just forcing Gassy to get a license and rent him a car, they just cut him out of the group. I could go on and on, but its all just due to poor management, a lack of knowledge, and not being able to read the market rather than genuine spite.

-Alfredo likes private movie screenings

-Alfredo thinks that going to the farmer's market is bad because muh covid

-Michael walked off set earlier off camera, when he returns (with beer) he is not wearing a mask

[Chilson]

-"Who gives a shit about this show?" -Michael Jones

According to this podcasts recent viewer numbers, very few people.

Trouble in paradise? Is Michael becoming repulsed by his fat ass wife?

-There is an ad read for HBO max

So, the previous mentions should just be discarded as shilling faggotry. Not surprised.

I really wanted more Haunter. Geoff was really having a lot of fun with it and it felt a lot like the early days of the Let’s Play channel.

Yeah, I think if I were working there I'd honestly have an easier time putting up with Fiona or really anyone else, than I would with Lindsay.

Everything I hear about Lindsay that isn’t “voice of Ruby Rose” makes me feel like she’s trying to be some quirky character from a show that’s come to life.

Jesus imagine that happening, you're watching a movie with your kdis and then a bunch of grown ass men start dancing beacuse Captain America punched a purple man or some shit?

Lindsay's annoying as fuck but after reading this and last week's recap I feel a little bad for her. Seems like Michael's just not interested in her anymore.

She is an annoying landwhale who has seemingly dived hard into Social justice. Would you honestly want to be married to that? I don't feel bad for Michael, he is feeling the exact way he should be feeling.

The only problem seems to be that he has not told Lindsey to shut up and hit a treadmill (maybe in a nicer way, but still).

What the fuck? These people have completely lost the ability to function in society. Consoomerism. Not even once.

I think Michael can't be as mean to Lindsey as he used to be, which really seemed to be a foundation of their relationship, due to the nature of RT and their fans. I used to hear people whine about the way he spoke to her but she used to seem to be into it.
Now she's just spiralling out of control and is being constantly validated by retards on the internet, that's why we get shit like fat Lindsey, non-gender-specific Lindsey and 'chaotic' boring as fuck Lindsey.

It's a bit sad that AH stagnated instead of maturing their sense of humour alongside their growing audience, they decided to keep bringing in new people (fair enough) that appealed to teenagers, even the youngest early AH fans are now in their twenties and they still put out content that's more suitable to mid-teens. At least Funhaus were honest about their ages and made jokes and references that people in their 20's through early 30's would appreciate. I think a lot of prior AH fans migrated to FH, then jumped ship on FH when they were mis-managed out of relevance by RT.

I doubt Fiona and Michael are a thing, but I wouldn't be surprised if after being stuck in a house with her for a year and a half, Michael is getting sick of Lindsey. Will a divorce happen? Probably not but they might secretly do a trial separation while pretending everything is still peachy and then either announcing a divorce or deciding to get back together after some time apart. Lindsay will probably be stuck with the kids.

Also, considering what a sperg he is, Alfredo doing that does not surprise me. Hell, he once did a victory lap after winning a single GTA race.

It was the bad french accent, maybe I do hate Fiona.

It's all rat shit, speculation, and projection. Nobody's actually sleeping around in AH other than their own partners. Except Jack who can't even have sex with his own wife.

Alfredo's victory lap in GTA was because he's awful at anything that isn't an FPS, he was touted (By AH) as the next Ray but he just sucks at everything else. He does have the late Ray disinterest in everything he doesn't like though. He'll wake up when they're playing Apex or Call of Duty but he's otherwise docile.
