    Crazy to think they almost died because they got too successful. But I think this is a great opportunity to recognize how lucky we are that they stuck to it

    Its so sad watching this after the news we received today. Ill miss RT so much, ive been watching since my high school days in 2005. Big. Sad.

    I haven't been watching much Rooster Teeth content lately, but I still cannot pass up on any Mooncake video that comes out, great job as always! ^-^

      I only listen to fuckface nowadays, but I still watch content about rooster teeth for some reason.

    This is weird idea but how bout a video of how Larry joined AH. I feel like he's been part of the team for so long, it just no one realises it because he's in post team. Love if our purple wizard gets some love too

    Wonderful video.
    I remember watching the OG Red vs Blue videos for the first time way back then. I loved it. I really wanted to become a sponsor when they gave everyone the ability to do so, but I was a teen with no money to my name. I fell off RT for a while, then I came back for one of the extra life 24-hour streams. I remembered why I loved their content and fell in love with the community. I joined "First" back in 2018 and I am so happy to be a small part of this community.
    Thank goodness they were able to get over this hump and thank you to the early subscribers who made it possible for these guys to keep creating content. I don't know where I would be without it.
    And thank you, Mooncake, for making such wholesome videos reminding me why this community is so darn awesome.

    Great video, really well done. I started to tear up thinking about the amazing memories i have because they took the risk to start rooster teeth. The only thing I can say is man life would suck if rooster teeth never happened

    I think recording it like that was better just because it implied both teams were dumb to the point they each damaged their mikes in their helmet.

    @snaps_3398 Před 2 lety

    I say they did bc come back from school watching everything was great. I found them in 2008 then lost them was sad then found them again in 2012. The Minecraft video I love was the first one the button when michelle blow up everything

  • @twentyoneHz

    the budget part at 4:50 is almost accurate! the biggest issue rvb had was they almost blew up too quick! the bandwidth they needed for everybody to download each episode upon release (in those days there were no streaming, you downloaded the file to watch) and their servers kept crashing. so by the third episode they were paying $10k in server fees

    • @twentyoneHz
      @twentyoneHz Před rokem

      what’s especially amazing about this is that this was before youtube, facebook, twitter, myspace just started months prior, so by the second episode it got around that fast by WORD OF MOUTH

    • @twentyoneHz
      @twentyoneHz Před rokem

      my older sisters showed me rvb in season 2, how? not by looking it up on the internet in their phone. we went to my grandpas cabin for the weekend, they had a portable dvd player and a bootlegged burned cd with season 2 on it. that’s how stuff got around back then

    • @twentyoneHz
      @twentyoneHz Před rokem

      burnie, geoff, and had pretty high up positions at their jobs, but how they were paying for the show a few episodes in was they put a donate button on the site. while burnie was out for lunch just after setting up the donate system “cash sound every donation” , his colleagues had to unplug his computer because it was making so much noise while he was gone.

    • @twentyoneHz
      @twentyoneHz Před rokem

      donations were then changed to “sponsor” badges on the site

    It's sad the community doesn't support them as much they make a new show and not all of the community gives it a chance they just rip it apart

    • @mrblackmagic3479
      @mrblackmagic3479 Před 2 lety +3

      Ya well they are partially to blame as well seems like they don't care about fans as much anymore especially youtube fans who aren't first members

    This vid reminded me of so many old internet things, I remember when starting a patreon was something incredibly “controversial”, glad we got away from that tbh

    Man I had no idea for having millions of views from back then would cost them 10s of thousands of dollars.

    I dropped my First Membership earlier this year and I stopped watching everything except for Annual Pass and F**CK Face. But I do enjoy these videos a lot.

    You should make a video on how Rooster Teeth is dying

      @GlocknessMonster1738 Před 2 lety +1

      It’s dying because now that they all got filthy rich they don’t care about what fans want. They made way too many dumb shows while ditching the classic beloved ones and the flopped miserably. They got too big and thought anything they made people would love but they were clearly wrong.

    Not going to lie, I actually thought their company was called Cock Bite. I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't
