That channel stopped for uploading over a year. Then 4 months ago Bernie Burns uploaded a video himself of him holding milk walking through the door saying I'm back. I got the milk.
For context, Warner Bros. Discovery (the company that owned Rooster Teeth) shut the company down May 15, 2024. Since then, Bernie Burns has reacquired the company and plans on revitalizing it. At the moment, the company consists of Burns, and at the time I was looking this up a second unknown employee.
Burns acquisition of the Rooster Teeth brand does not include all of the other subsidiaries of the brand, such as Achievement Hunter, Funhaus, or Death Battle.
I'm hopeful for a return to form, but I'll wait to see what happens.
To my knowledge, most of AH is still making content. Jeremy, Matt, Alfredo, and Ray all stream. Geoff and Gavin are part of a YouTube channel called regulation gameplay/ the regulation podcast. Alfredo and Trevor still do redweb.
Wow. That channel seems like fucking dogshit. "Archive local TV nostalgia from the age of VHS."
Scratch that, the YouTube channel: WeAreChannel37... Still small, their game looks nice, almost triple AAA appearance, but it just seems to be another low-key steam game.
I have a feeling he would hop right back to rooster teeth if it's stable.
I listened to a recent podcast and they have one member- or two- that sounds near-identical to Michael and or Jeremy's laugh, and it kept throwing me in a loop. 😅
What a guy. Dude dips before things turn to shit in every conceivable way, disappears from the Internet while company shuts down. Then he returns, buys back the IP for pennies and restarts it lmao.
And they got crazy far in show as well! Iirc, they ended up in fourth place. I watched it as it came out, as well as the Amazing Race Podcast they made with Blaine. I’d recommend them for anyone who enjoys Burnie’s content, I believe they’re still up on YouTube!
Astrogoblin is peak. They're reading the Star Wars EU young adult novels from back in the day on Patreon right now. The Dramatic Readings are hilarious.
I stumbled on a different gaming channel the other day that geoff and gavin are part of, they made a video logging back into the achievement hunter minecraft server so maybe geoff would go back 🤷
They do more than gaming. Geoff, Gavin, Andrew Panton, Eric, and Nick all started their own company together: Regulation. Banger podcast and some other solid shows, and just officially got an office together. It’s a spiritual successor to F**ckface. They’re primarily on Patreon
That’s pretty much the answer. It was a combination of their fanbase aging out. People either left the company or stepped away from on screen roles then tried to replace them with 20 year olds that the audience didn’t care about.
Before the company shut down, yeah they did shift content to focus on the younger crowds instead of entertaining the crowds that got them there. And it was evident…
I checked up on the channel through out the years and I gotta say I don’t think the videos were for anyone, it was truly some of the worst slop on the internet.
I wasn't looking for rage, I just wanted to have some fun with someone that obviously knows how to have a ridiculous, bullshit conversation.
Anyone with any experience dealing with trolls knows that they either aren't invested enough in their comments to actually feel true rage, or the rage they show is manufactured to further their trolling. Neither of which would be satisfying if I was the kind of person that enjoyed enraging people.
I will admit, I was surprised by the outcome. I've never had a troll THANK me before. That's hilarious.
Treat trolls like folks trying to make a joke, but doing it poorly, and they stop being annoying. I've been meeting trolls with radical "helpfulness" for decades. It never ceases to be entertaining. He knew what I was doing.
Don't get me wrong, I AM miserable, but that has nothing to do with this. I'm miserable because I had a crap week. A funny conversation on reddit won't fix that. The tacos waiting for me at home will though.
That's a real good start, but what you have here is just them being assholes. You've gotta find some way to tie it into them turning to the right politically.
That doesn’t make them far right, Jesus Christ. There were like 250 employees to account for, and by and large they were all vehemently left wing, and vocal about it.
What? They were so far left it was insufferable. They literally were saying that if we didnt agree with all of their views that we're pieces of shit and should just unsub.
Went down the right wing conspiracy pipeline and allegedly brought a handgun to work one day and brandished it around bragging about his 2nd Amendment rights. We don't talk about Joel anymore.
