    Goodbye Rooster Teeth.

      It's so hard to believe even now that he's dead, especially the way he went out. I wonder how he'd think of the current RWBY and what he would've created after RoosterTeeth ended.
      I miss him a lot and hope his family is okay.

    What a touching and befitting name "Why we were here". That's epic when you really think about it. 21 years ago, a rvb character asked the question "why are we here". And the answer was more epic, complex, funny and even profound than could have ever fit in 1 sentence. The answer was a journey that effected many peoples lives over 21 years. That's why they were there. They just didn't know it yet.

    I will admit I have moved away from RT/AH over the years, there's just so much content out there anymore that it's hard to keep up with everything. I just turned 27 the other day, and I STILL remember the first time my friend introduced me to RvB. I was probably like 8 at the time, way too young to be watching it, and most of the jokes went way over my head, but god damn if I didn't love it.
    I won't say goodbye, but I will say thank you. Thank you for undoubtedly helping shape me in the person I am today.

    @SpartanK72 Před 20 dny +2

    I don't think it's possible to say how much Rooster Teeth means to so many of us. I, along with many others in this chat have been watching throughout my childhood, my teenage years, and well into adulthood. Red vs. Blue and then Achievement Hunter and then all the other amazing teams/shows/movies/creations have filled my after school evenings, forged friendships, and left ever lasting memories that I hold dear with friends I may no longer even talk to (but will never forget). You've all brought bits of cheer to sad times, and boisterous laughter to the good times.
    I know I'm not alone in making it a habit re-watching old videos of RTShorts to Let's Play's, from Drunk Tanks to RT Podcasts, Gavin or Googles to RTX content, and so much more. Rooster Teeth will always have a place in my heart, and whether you all want to hear it or not, you helped (in some way or another) form me into the adult I am today, or at least the kid I'll never not be. My relationship with RT has spanned cities, provinces (Canada), and even countries as I've consumed your content, bringing a sense of familiarity and comfort to places new and uncertain. You belong alongside the greatest hits for me, as your impact has been enormous (I'm talking original Star Wars and Lord of the Rings levels of importance here).
    Thank you isn't enough.
    I wish you all the best wherever life takes you, but know you will always be here for so many of us.

    Rooster Teeth especially the sense of humor is part of who I define myself as. I have been watching since I was 14 and I just graduated from college for game development. Rooster Teeth may be shutting down but I'll always remember Burnies' advice, "You don't want to work at Rooster Teeth, you want to make your own Rooster Teeth."
    Rooster Teeth may be shutting down but it will live on in those like myself who were inspired by it.

    -Bursting out laughing in a silent classroom after hearing the Dolphin/LSD experiment story from Gus and Geoff.
    -Ordering my first RvB shirt
    -Listening to "Tex" for the first time
    -Plan "G" premiering

I dont remember why I stopped watching, but seeing that it was ending brought back a flood of memories. Since the announcement of the shutdown, I saw I missed so much. Wish I had been there for the last few years. It was a relationship where I could always come back to you guys.
    In rewatching RvB, you really have some amazing quotes about saying goodbye, moving on, and more stories to tell. Encouraging fans to go on and make their own. It was a wild 15 year ride for me. I feel like i remember the 10th anniversary like yesterday.
    But I won't say goodbye, I hate goodbyes.
