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

And the views go tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling dooooooown.

Don't the "hardcore fans" actually realize that RT is losing views? Like holy fuck, how retarded must you be.

I'd just like to put some info out into public space as I see a few people commenting the same things over and over. In the latest Play Pal episodes Gavin and Michael reveal while chatting to each other that there is no AH office. I really think its becoming more clear that when AH left the office to work from home because of COVID, the powers that be that control them had no intention of letting them return.

A lot of people make comments and statements about how "AH Person" is acting stupid or woke or whatever. I honestly don't think any one at AH has any control over how they act, what they say, who they hire. They are a small department in a large corporate blob and they are martinets for some smooth brains who don't understand internet content. As a company each AH employee is more of an contractor "actor" each individual is an independent operator who fronts the cost of their own "studio" and setup and "remotes" into a broadcast network. They are booked into time slots and told when and what they will be acting in.

Start watching the content trying to pickup on context clues on how they act and speak with this thought in mind. "Who here is dependent on their paycheck".

Jack has drank the corporate cool aid and is trying to keep the company or brand or whatever he has loved alive, but he is the wrong person to do so. He has had good ideas in the past but hes not the one to keep AH together, he is not a Geoff. He is pushing the coporate agenda given to him and looks like a idiot doing so.

Gavin's finances come from his slow mo business not AH, he has only worked at AH for a very long time because he loves to do so. Over a long time period you can find the cast complaining that Gavin is never onsite to film. Many podcasts where Gavin talks about how much travel he does. He does not need to work at AH and you will now notice he doesn't show up in videos. Because he doesn't have too, he only does it if its fun for him.

Jeremy made him self less dependent on his AH paycheck. He moved to Texas to work for AH and his wife moved with him and she had to change her job in doing so. He has moved back home where I assume the cost of living is lower and his wife can work in the field she is trained for, I am going to assume worse case worse he and his wife could survive on one paycheck if they have too. Smart man he is has built up his own community and twitch following so he could walk out the door any time and would have minimal financial impact.

Matt prob just goes along with the flow and doesn't plan for shit.

Michael and Lindsey are dependent on AH for an income and Michael knows outside of AH he is useless. He has stated this many times in videos and is very well aware of the situation he lives in and how lucky he is. These two I think are the ones that give every thing away. I don't think they are Woke New Age Trans Sport whatever ect they present them self's as. I think they want to keep their paychecks and that's why Lindsey sucks up to Ky so much, its the agenda that's pushed on top of them.

A good contrast is to watch current AH content then watch the indevidual doing streams on their own personal twitch account, you will start to see them as too different people. On twitch they let their guard down and their filter relax and you start to see the orignal person you once enjoyed watching back when Rooster Teeth wasn't being driven by cooperation smooth brains.

They all hide being the fact that video statistics on RT's website aren't visible. "Views are down" is always met with "Maybe on YouTube, but RT says views are up on their platform".

There is a reason why I want those stats.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

I 'm pretty sure. And Cib and Sami Jo got divorced. I don't really follow them all that much these days, so I don't know any specifics

They did?! Wow, nobody saw that coming. Lol.

I actually saw someone wearing a SP7 shirt the other day, it was weird.

I can't really tell if this is sarcasm or not. I saw it the minute I heard they had only dated 4 months. Seemed pretty obvious to me that Cib needed her to get citizenship.

I thought AH were supposed to be moving into that Bungalow/trailer that Squad Team Force used to be in. Did they just totally nix that idea after showing up to work once?

AH in-office shenanigan's were part of the charm. Without an office they're just glorified twitch streamers

If I remember correctly from early RT shit, Michael was an electrician or an electrician's apprentice, so if it came down to it and he was out on his ass he could at least do that to support his family. In fact I recall him mentioning at one point he was in line to inherit an electrician business before he threw it all away to play video games for a living, but I may be misremembering.

Could be that corporate got tired of them breaking shit and disrupting the other teams with their antics. Problem is that that sort of thing was a huge part of their appeal. Granted, with their plummeting views, the financial cost of letting them tear up the offices may no longer be covered by the money brought in by them recording said destruction.

Should we feel bad for him if the house of cards comes falling down?

After trying to get Jeremy to drink himself to death? No.

I forgot about the drinking stuff. Thanks for reminding me about the now father trying to act like a frat boy.

Man, I miss Shenanigans. Them making Jeremy’s desk like two stories tall was hilarious.

Yes, but they've proven they can still put out content without sharing an office, so corporate probably doesn't want to bother paying for office spare for them.

Yeah, but that was a decade ago. Basically Michael practically dropped out of high school to go be an electrician until AH hired him. The guy who owned the company trained him from the start and there was a plan that one day it would be turned over to Michael when the guy retired since, as I understood it, the company was just the pair of them. There might have been another guy but I can't remember.

He could, in theory, go back to it, but it's been ten years since he did it and anyone who hired him would probably have to include retraining just to make sure he still knew how to do the job. If that was the case, why would they hire a guy in his mid-thirties when they could just get someone in their late teens/early twenties?

 

[AuxPersonality]

To sum up the skill level of Michael's electrical skills, I can only reference it as he had the skill level of a 2nd year (maybe 3rd) electrical apprentice in Australian standards, for context that is a 5 year apprentice. I think at year 2 all your are doing is replacing fluorescent tubes. At 3rd you might be on a construction site learning. I could be very wrong about this, do fact check it. Also I have no idea the Electrical standards in America.


There's something about Michael's personality that I came to learn or personally believe that felt very off beat or left of field. It only happens in 2 videos, a pod cast and maybe some lets play and this part of his life and personality he keeps off camera in his own life. Michael is a very family oriented man, he and Lindsay had discussed and planed out their family before their engagement. He talked about his own family and spoke in terms of that ideology of "I want to do the job my parents never did". He wanted to have two children born close together so they could grow up with each other and be the siblings that he never had. He is an actual sensible man who understand budgets and the cost of living and I've come to believe all the money he has earned has gone towards building a safe life for his children. He spoke passionately about his family, not of his parents but of him being a parent and wanting to take care of his children and was excited and enthralled to be a father. He does not bring this passion onto content very often, if at all.

Michael has been very good at having an AH Michael and a Real life Michael and some times you can see them cross over. His entire rage quit persona was just that a persona and not a representation of who he is and how he lives his life.

With all that said, I can 100% believe AH Michael would say and do whatever he is told to continue the financial support of his children. It seems stupid to say this about a person who plays video games for a living but I believe the Simpsons Meme of "Do it for her" sums up all his decisions at this point in time. Which is work sucks, but I do it for my family.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Adding to the missing Shenanigans episodes, I REALLY miss Haunter. It was something made late into the company’s life, but it had a real “early RT” feel to it. It was mainly the original AH group, just fucking around famous haunted places and seeing if they find anything. And most importantly of all, they all seems like they were having a ton of fun with it.

And then RT canceled it because of course.

I'd imagine as well that Michael knows no other job will pay as well as RT. Voice acting is a cliquey industry that him and Lindsay barely hava a toe-hold in, other than that they have zero skills that would net them the same income as half-assing their job at AH which makes it more frustrating when you think if this is their only financial lifeline, why don't they push for better quality when even the usually docile audience are waking up to the amount of shit that AH are putting out.

 

[batigol]

Nobody at AH is qualified to do anything else, at best they could go sideways and be in-house streamers/video producers for some studio. Other than that it’s selling AMWAY products, used cars, or something similar.

They are going to cling on to the flaming turd comet that is Rooster Teeth for dear life.

 

[Pig Boss]

I thought Michael had two brothers, I remember one of them stole his Capri Sun in a classic LtMKilla video

They canceled it because it got too expensive (They outright said they were trying to sell it to a TV Network which is why the name got changed from Achievement Haunter to just Haunter, as if there's not enough ghost hunting shows out there). Show was really good though, had pretty high production but still kept the AH "Friends fucking around" vibe to it.

He does, but they're both so much older that I think one was already out of the house by the time he was born and the other was a teenager so he more or less grew up as an only child
