Achievement Hunter Post Team Family Photo

WELCOME!


This is an unofficial fansite for updates on Achievement Hunter, Rooster Teeth's video gaming subdivision. Created on July 6th, 2008, the group's primary focus is on let's plays, but they also dabble in live action content when they're not playing video games. This site was created on March 31st, 2022, mainly as a way to archive and organize as much AH-related content and information as possible so that other fans can check for updates and learn about stuff they may have missed over the years of AH's existence. For a longer, even more general overview, check out the article about them on Wikipedia!

You can find Achievement Hunter across the web on: The scrolling text in the news ticker you see at the top of the page, as well as the bigger news section at the bottom, are manually updated as often as possible. While you are able to see a live Twitter feed to the right of this introduction, any AH-related news can pop up on the accounts of those who work at AH, or on the Rooster Teeth Twitter account. Rather than bombard you with multiple feeds at once, we'll try to catch any news outside of the main account and add clickable links to the sources in both news sections for accuracy. On desktop, you can hover your cursor over the scrolling text in the ticker to pause the animation, just in case it's going a bit too fast. Alternatively, there's now a pause/play button you can use on any modern platform! Sorry it took us so long to make that functional. Coding is hard.

The Final Update

Yeah, this shouldn't be surprising, considering that a lot has happened over the weekend.

First, on October 14th, Matt Bragg made this tweet explaining that his position at Achievement Hunter had been dissolved. If you weren't around for it, this news was met with an outpour of support from the community and fellow RT/AH employees. Matt's stream the following day blew his sub goals out of the water, ending with over 15,000 Twitch subs. While the community focused on showering Matt with love, there were also questions about why Rooster Teeth dissolved the position of one of their beloved talents. Kdin Jenzen then made this tweet shortly after the community started to talk about Matt's leave, and how upset they were about it.

Kdin's account of the transphobia, wage theft, and workplace abuse she suffered while working at RT was extremely heartbreaking to read. Apologies from Michael, Gavin, and Geoff came out soon after. While Michael's tweet was met with this reply from Kdin saying she forgave him, and Gavin's got no interaction from Kdin at all. Most notably, her reply to Geoff was a direct call to action. Here is a link to that interaction.

Soon, Twitter was flooded with ex-employees, contractors, and former friends of Rooster Teeth, who all had similar things to say. Many of them talk about crunchtime, overtime that was never compensated, pay that was laughably low when compared to the industry standard, and an HR department that seemed pretty keen on keeping a lawsuit from happening, rather than helping their employees.

We won't be linking any specific threads here on the fansite because there are just so many of them. A quick search of "Rooster Teeth" on Twitter will pull up a lot, as well as Tumblr. The Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter subreddits have a lot of information, too.

The two of us started this project on March 30th, 2022 because of our mutual love for Achievement Hunter. Initially, we saw a need for a site like this, a place where general information about Achievement Hunter could be found. Our main goal was that we wanted this to be a place where the community could come and check out what's new, see any announcements they missed, and have a comprehensive list of series and descriptions. We had so many plans for this website that will now never come to fruition.

We cannot in good faith continue to produce fan content for a company that treats their employees the way Rooster Teeth does. We fully condemn their actions and stand firmly with the victims and the people who have suffered underneath them. Over the years, it has become clear that the company, despite the trials and tribulations of so many former (and current) employees, refuses to change for the better. They have cultivated a toxic culture that has come to a head this weekend, and because of that, we've made the heavy decision to archive the website.

The site will remain up, and the features of it all active, but besides some minor maintenance, we will no longer be making updates to it. We put a lot of hard work and effort into this site to just see it gone, so it will remain up as a resource, like it was always meant to be. We really wish it didn't have to end like this. It would have been nice to at least see this site turn one year old, but the people who have suffered under Rooster Teeth mean more to us, and we will always stand by them.

Finally, we want to say thank you to everyone who has visited the fansite, as well as those who have sent us words of encouragement on our personal Tumblr accounts. The fansite couldn't have gone over as well as it did without your guys' help and support. Despite everything, we're glad we can still come together as a community.

We love you,
Erlande and Mars

𝅘𝅥𝅮 Guess what's back, 𝅘𝅥𝅮
𝅘𝅥𝅮 back again? 𝅘𝅥𝅮
𝅘𝅥𝅮 Haunter's back, 𝅘𝅥𝅮
𝅘𝅥𝅮 tell a friend~ 𝅘𝅥𝅮

The Haunter logo, colored black with a transparent background.

Yeah, we can't believe it either, but it's true! Let's break it down:

The news first went out in a thread on Rooster Teeth's Twitter account yesterday, October 4th. With a month-long event dubbed "Ghostober", RT has teamed up with the Travel Channel to provide some spooky programming. Of course, there will be non-RT series like "Ghost Adventures", but for Rooster Teeth specifically, we got:

On Rooster Teeth's Instagram Live

Live on Travel Channel's TikTok

  • Oct. 17th: Achievement Hunter brings back Haunter for a one-off live ghost hunt; Location is kept as a surprise
  • Oct. 24th: For Red Web, Trevor Collins and Alfredo Diaz go to an iconic location for a ghost hunt; Said location is PennHurst Asylum in Spring City, Pennsylvania, as confirmed by Trevor in Off Topic #353
  • Oct. 31st, 8 pm Central: Trevor Collins, BlizzB3ar, Jon Risinger, and Laurel Rothamel are hosting a watch party; The special they're watching is Zak Bagans' "The Haunted Museum: 3 Ring Inferno"

Anything left out of these lists here are mentioned in the aformentioned Twitter thread. We'll be adding more relevant RT/AH-related information and links as more time passes. 👻

Happy Friday!

The Survive Block Island: Meltdown logo, colored black with a transparent background.

Today, Survive Block Island: Meltdown has premiered for FIRST members. We thought we were just getting the season premiere this week, but we were pleasantly surprised to see that not only have episode one and episode two dropped simultaneously, but we also have a supplementary post show called "Loser's Block" that has dropped mere minutes after. That's 4 videos total!

For convenience and clarity, this link is for episode 1, this link is for episode 2, this link is for Loser's Block episode 1, and this link is for Loser's Block episode 2. The best way to view this whole season is to watch the main episode first, starting with 1, then watch the matching Loser's Block episode so that everything flows better. Happy viewing!


9/1/22

The Task Force headquarters set for a new, upcoming Red Web series. The set is a private investigator-type office. It has a noire detective feel with a mystery cork board, some filing cabinets, some old wooden chairs and table, and a captured squonk. A photo of the same office, but the focus is on the captured squonk. Said squonk is trapped in a portable hand lantern, and the label towards the top of it reads "SQUONK" in a bold font with capital letters. Below that, it says "AKA "PUDDLE OF TEARS"" in the same font at a different size. To the right, some more text reads "SCP DB #73177-", but the rest of it isn't visible from the camera's angle.

Today, Red Web posted these two cool images on Twitter. The reason we're reporting this at all is because of the alt text of image 1, which says: "The Task Force headquarters set for a new, upcoming Red Web series. The set has a noire detective feel with a mystery cork board, some filing cabinets, some old wooden chairs and table, and a captured squonk."

We're so excited for this new show, and we'll be sure to update with any new information we get!

Edit 9/18/22: Hey! At the beginning of the recent Red Web episode [#108: 3 Movie Cryptids] around 2 minutes in, Trevor and Alfredo confirmed that these images are teasers for their new show titled "Case Files". The series premiere will be on September 22nd on Red Web's YouTube channel and the RT site. The duo describe it as a show where they "get hands-on with the cases that we discuss on this podcast [Red Web]. It's a variety, so every week, we do something different. Sometimes, we discuss fan theories... sometimes, we're testing out equipment that we use on the field. Other times, maybe we wanna figure out what Bigfoot would smell like! We're gonna be tackling a whole bunch of different things."

This show came to be thanks to the support of fans of Red Web. The audience wanted more content from Trevor and Alfredo, and this is what they're giving in return. They're planning an 8-week run, one episode per week, with a break after that because unlike Red Web, they're planning to keep Case Files seasonal for now. Depending on how things go, Trevor says that they "wanna keep expanding this Red Web universe. So maybe it will become weekly at some point, I don't know!" Keep your eyes peeled, task force! 🔴🕸️

News on top of news on top of news this week! Holy shit!

The most recent news this time is that Geoff and Gavin, 2 of the most busiest motherfuckers at AH, are testing a new show where they're the co-hosts. This new series is called "Does it Do?". Here is the teaser RT's official Twitter account shared:

Geoff and Gavin in a blue room, wearing matching gray collared short-sleeved shirts and tan-colored pants. Gavin's shirt is noticably a few sizes too large. Behind them is a television on a stand, displaying the "Does it Do?" logo on its screen. Said logo has both cursive and non-cursive fonts in white in front of a blue circle, which is in front of a yellow and blue background that has halftones on it.

Those who have listened to this week's F**kface may had heard the premise already, but here it is for anyone who hasn't:
Geoff pitched this idea at RT about a year ago. Basically, he and Gav are the hosts of an "infomercial docuseries reality show" where they test the ethicacy of "As Seen on TV" products to determine whether or not they're right for the audience. The linked F**kface episode above has Geoff explain more of what happened during the recordings, but we're intentionally leaving all of that out in case anyone reading this wants to go into the series as blind as possible.

For now, there will only be two episodes that are each 8-10 minutes long. This is so that RT/AH can test the waters and tweak whatever they need to after the initial audience reception. Episode 1 will air pretty soon on September 1st, with episode 2 following a week later on the 8th.

Edit 8/29/22: Okay, scratch the dates we previously said. Rooster Teeth are idiots (their words, not ours!). The premiere date for the first episode of "Does it Do?" is actually Friday, September 2nd, with episode 2 presumably coming out on the 9th. Our bad.

If you're yearning for Plan G content and have already caught up on F**kface and Annual Pass, we hope this will hold you over for a while.


8/21/22

𝅘𝅥𝅮 Well, the news start coming, and they don't stop coming... 𝅘𝅥𝅮

It's no secret that Gavin is notorious for disappearing from RT/AH content for weeks, sometimes months at a time. Most of the time, it's because he has to for something related to The Slow Mo Guys, the slow-motion YouTube channel he co-runs with Daniel Gruchy. This time around, it's much bigger than that. Today, Sky Kids, a British entertainment bundle of 8 childrens' TV channels run by Sky Group Limited, announced that they commisioned Gav and Dan to create a new, original television show titled "The Slow Mo Guys' Big Adventures." You can see the promotional image below:

A bright, colorful photo of Gavin and Dan in front of an explosion with an exploding watermelon, an arrow, and a black ball with holes, all in front of a green field outside. Gav and Dan are wearing their iconic lab coats with their names in big letters, alongside a red and blue hoodie, respectively. Gav is posing for the camera, while Dan is plugging his ears, protecting his hearing from the explosion behind them. To their left is the show's logo, "THE SLOW MO GUYS' BIG ADVENTURES" in in two different capitalized fonts.

According to the article linked above, this new show will have a focus on science and history, with a target audience of kids aged 8 and up. Each episode will be 22 minutes long, with a total of 10 episodes altogether. "All of the episodes will be available to watch from September 1, 2022, on demand on Sky Kids and NOW. The series will also be available on Sky Showcase, with one episode airing each week from September 4th at 8:05 am BST."

We want to give Gavin and Dan congratulations for this huge accomplishment. For those who don't know, the duo has made two YouTube Originals back in 2018 and 2019. The first was "The Super Slow Show", and the second was "Planet Slow Mo". This isn't their first experience with "SMG with a much bigger budget", nor is it not the first time their work has been on TV. The fact that they were commisioned to do this at all shows how popular and beloved their original YouTube channel is to this very day. We can't wait to see how this series turns out!


8/18/22

A black and white photo of Geoff, Jack, and Trevor sitting near a table in a meeting room, with Geoff sitting in the center. Behind them is a whiteboard with several things written on it, the most notable being "UNO: INFINITE" in black marker. A giant UNO playing card is right above it.

After multiple teasers, it's finally been confirmed that we're getting a sequel to Uno: The Movie! We are officially losing our shit! Confirmed during today's Off Topic, Uno: Infinite will be livestreamed on September 9th on RTTV and YouTube, with the VOD being available at a later date. We'll add more updates here as time continues to pass.

Edit 9/2/22: As promised, here are some updates!

As we've learned from this short trailer, the stream will start at 3 pm Central Time. Because the audience controls the game, there's no set end time. It can go on for 2 hours. It can go on for 10! It's up to us as an audience to decide that.

Another important thing we've learned from this trailer is that when people sign up for a FIRST subscription during the stream, the AH crew has to draw more cards, thus extending the length of the game. So, if you aren't one already, then you can either sign up for a full subscription or get the free trial to keep dragging them through hell.

Edit 9/6/22: Coming in hot with some more information!

One piece of info is that on Twitter, AH is taking suggestions for custom Uno cards they can use on Friday's stream. You can suggest an idea of your own, or click like on ideas from other community members in the replies.

The other, arguably bigger piece of news we have today is that apparently, RT made an official website for Uno: Infinite! We are not fucking with you. Here is the link to the site.

As for proof that this is legit, this was the pop-up notification one of the admins here got on the RT site earlier today:

A colorful pop-up notifaction promoting Achievement Hunter's Uno: Infinite livestream. The top half has a banner with a red, yellow, blue, and green color scheme, with UNO cardss on the left and right of the banner, and the Uno: Infinite logo in the center. The background of the banner has the same color scheme. The main text of the notification reads "Get ready for Uno Infinite! Stream for free on 9/9 at 3pm CT on Rooster Teeth and the Let's Play YouTube channel." At the bottom are two buttons: One that says "No, thanks" in green text on a white background, and the other that says "How to Participate" in white text on a green background.

But wait, there's more! LASO is fucking back, baby!!! The game? Halo 5. The crew? Michael, Gavin, Alfredo, and Joe, with Trevor as their cheerleader. They started recording earlier this week. While they haven't made much progress so far because "they were all goopy", Trevor is keeping the spirit alive by making a 'GO LASO' sign with some cardboard. At some point in the recording, he accidentally hit Joe in the head with it:

An overhead camera shot of Joe and Trevor in the Achievement Hunter office. Joe is at his desk, holding his face after getting hit by the "GO LASO" sign. Trevor is standing next to him, sympathetically putting one hand on Joe's shoulder, with the other hand holding the sign.

It's been a busy news week, and we're pretty excited for all this new content coming soon!


8/15/22

We have two pieces of news for you today! The first is that Shaun Bolen of Hang Time, previously known as Game Attack, had Trevor on his podcast to talk about how he came to run AH! You can read about Shaun and Hang Time in more detail following this link to Shaun's post on the RT subreddit. Otherwise, you can just follow this link to view it on YouTube.

This next bit of news is more of a fun community announcement. If you don't already know, there's an AU circulating around Tumblr called YDYD Obsidian. It started as a series of asks between thedeaddandy and kingpattillo (one of our dear admins), and soon turned into a small community effort. With headcanons, fanart, scenes in Mine-imator... the list goes on. Jeremy caught wind of the AU and posted this video on Twitter to shout it out! When asked by a community member if it was in reference to the Obsidian AU, Jeremy said the following:
"Basically, I see people being creative and making fun lore, I want to help. Reminds me of days with the AH King series and such."

He talked a little more about it on his Twitch stream today, reiterating what he'd said in his tweets, and mentioned that he messaged Trevor about the AU, as well! We'll just have to wait and see if anything more comes from it.

If you'd like to know more about YDYD Obsidian, or join in on the fun, you can check out Erlande's chronological tag on their account here (scroll to the bottom to see more pages), or alternatively, you can simply search "ydyd obsidian" on Tumblr!


7/28/22

Happy Birthday, Achievement Hunter!

Wow, you're 14 years old today! Thank you to everyone working hard at AH for so many years of laughs. We hope you know how much of a positive impact you've had on the fans who enjoy your content and the people who make it. We wish we could've done something bigger here on the fansite, but life has been kicking the admins' asses lately. Please take this poorly Photoshopped image as compensation:

6/30/22

Quick reminder- with RTX panels not being streamed this year, and neither of us going to RTX in person, any information here that isn't from verified RT/AH accounts on social media is from fellow community members. A massive shoutout goes out to them, because without their posts, we wouldn't have any news to share here on the fansite for weeks! With that, some panel info will be pretty scarce at first, or just straight-up missing, like the Post Team and Challenge Accepted panels, but with some of these panels eventually having VODs recorded and released in the near future, we hope that we can use those to fill in the gaps we missed. With that outta the way, let's get started!

AH Fansite RTX 2022 Masterpost Banner

Day 0 (FIRST Night)

Happy FIRST Night, everyone! Here's what's been announced so far:

The first episode premiered live tonight, and while we don't have a date yet for its release on the RT Site, Rooster Teeth tweeted it would be out for FIRST members soon™. (Welcome back, Gerki!) Edit 7/15/22: Holy shit, the first episode is dropping on July 21st. That's way sooner than we thought!

Day 1

RWBY (we know this is an AH fansite, but sshhh) [RT Site VOD]

Speaking at the RWBY panel was Eddy Rivas, Laura Yates, Kerry Shawcross, Lindsay Jones, Barbara Dunkelman, Arryn Zech, and Kara Eberle. The official RWBY Twitter made a thread that was updated throughout the panel that you can read here. Otherwise, here's a list of of all the announcements:

  • New merchandise debuted (including clothing and accessories) which won't be available for online purchase at the RT Store until August 12th, but was available at the RTX Store in person. Youtooz collectibles will be available in Fall 2022, and Q posket figures are out now! They also announced a partnership with the company Makeship, and that allow fans to decide on what custom RWBY merch to make.
  • In terms of video game news: A crossover with Paladins is available now, and a new trailer for RWBY: Arrowfell has dropped. You can watch the trailer here! As noted in said trailer, the game is expected to release in Fall 2022.
  • RWBY's first ever feature-length film was announced today! The RWBY x Justice League movie is animated and produced by the same team that created RWBY. It's a standalone original film that's separate from the crossover comic book series. We can expect it to air sometime in 2023.
  • Last, but certainly not least, a teaser trailer for Volume 9 debuted live today, and you can watch it now on YouTube! Volume 9 is expected to premiere in early 2023.

Bonus: It's been confirmed by the official RT Animation channel on YouTube that the RWBY and RvB panels from today have both been recorded, and will be uploaded sometime this July. No specific date or timeframe or anything; just July.

Edit 7/12/22: Turns out they meant today, almost all at the same time at 6 pm EST. The schedule was flooded with RTX panels. Alongside linking the respective VODs with each section we write about here, we'll also just link the RTX channel page for anyone to look for something we missed!

First Achievement Hunter Panel [RT Site VOD]

Attending the Achievement Hunter panel was Michael Jones, Jack Pattillo, Lindsay Jones, Joe Lee, BlackKrystel, Ify Nwadiwe, and Fiona Nova!

The only thing announced at this panel (as far as we know) was Egg Jeopardy, with Egg-isode 2 confirmed to be premiering this July. It looks like the audience got a teaser for the episode. To make up for that being the only news from this panel, here's a couple group pictures :)

A group photo of Matt, BK, Ify, Fiona, Joe, Michael, and Jack. A photo of the same group as the previous photo, but taken at a different angle, with Michael having a notable shocked expression on his face.

Some other highlights from this panel are:

  • Ify and Matt's pet cats pee on their things.
  • There was a drawer full of hentai in the old AH office from P.O. box packages.
  • The stink barrel was mentioned, including Trevor's protectiveness over it, and how they would hide it in RT Core's offices. One time, the core group thought they hid the stink barrel in there, but it turns out it was just a leak in their septic system!
  • Jack and Joe accidentally announced that Egg Jeopardy! 2 was happening on this panel, instead of on the second Achievement Hunter panel. They just rolled with it and showed the preview clip anyway.
  • The teaser for Survive Block Island: Meltdown was also featured on this panel!

AH Wrestling: Last Call [RT Site VOD]

This packed panel had Aaryn Porter, Matt Bragg, Fiona Nova, Trevor Collins, Ky Cooke, Lindsay Jones, Alfredo Diaz, Jeremy Dooley, Michael Jones, Eric Baudour, James Willems, and Larry Matovina! Gavin Free wasn't there in person, but his character was in the WWE 2K19 game the group watched, so he technically counts as a participant. There will be spoilers ahead, of course, so the big ones are censored. If you don't give a shit about spoilers, or have already attended the panel, just click or tap the black bars to see the full text. Some highlights from the panel (courtesy of tumblr user vanessakimbae) include:

  • According to Aaryn, the main event was supposed to be a last call brawl but, in her own words, "the game fucking broke," so it changed to a chamber match instead.
  • A four-way match between Team Nice Dynamite (Michael and Gavin) vs Chungschwa (Fiona and Gavin) vs the Dusk Boys (Trevor and Gavin) vs Team Boston Tea Party (Jeremy and Gavin). Whoever wins gets , you guessed it, Gavin as a prize.
  • Team Nice Dynamite won.
  • In the gimmick battle royale round, Larry lost against Garbo, Rimmy Tim, Ruby Rose, Gabu (Alfredo's pet corgi) and the Corpirate from X-Ray and Vav. Garbo won, of course.
  • Larry lost even faster in 2 back-to-back rounds against Ky and Joe. With this being Joe's first AHW appearance, it's important to know that in the game, he's wearing booty shorts that say "Baby Hands" across the ass.
  • In the main event, Eric won the rematch against Lindsay, James, Alfredo, Matt, and Ify, but in real life, Aaryn hit him in the face with the championship belt, and Jeremy pinned Eric after that and took the belt for himself, so it didn't count. You can see pictures of that series of events here.

Red vs. Blue: Back to Base-ics [RT Site VOD] [YouTube VOD]

This panel was hosted by Jenn Tidwell, Joshua Kazemi, Joshua Ornelas, Austin Clark, and Eddy Rivas. Some highlights from this panel include:

  • A new show with Grif and Simmons called "Q vs. A" has been confirmed! Other characters will make appearances, though there is currently no answers on who. The team has already been pulling questions from Reddit and Twitter, but they still want questions from the community that can be added to the series.
  • Future RvB content will be machinimated using Halo Infinite's engine.
  • The PSAs are back, with access to the whole cast!
  • Spanish subtitles will be added to all of the completed seasons of RvB that are out on YouTube.
  • There are plans in the works to celebrate RvB's 20th anniversary, though they can't reveal any details about what those plans are yet, so keep your eyes peeled as we get closer to that date (April 1, 2023).

Werewolves [RT Site VOD]

Several rounds of the game Werewolves included Ify Nwadiwe, Joe Lee, Alfredo Diaz, Ky Cooke, Jackie Butler, Sam Mitchell, Joshua Ornelas, Kyle Taylor, Chris Kokkinos, and Eddy Rivas. Like the list of panel highlights for AH Wrestling, the list for Werewolves will also be properly censored. Some highlights (also courtesy of tumblr user vanessakimbae) from and before the panel include:

  • Alfredo arriving 1/2 an hour before the panel properly started, hanging out and chilling with the audience, allowing the fans to ask for autographs and pictures with him.
  • During the first voting round, Joe showed his card and was immediately killed.
  • The second round had Ky and Jackie, and the town name was "Kill Alfredo". Unsurprisingly, Fredo was killed first.
  • The last round was a speedrun, and as soon as the night started, Joe pointed at Alfredo, who then woke up and showed the audience that he was the other werewolf.
  • Both Alfredo and Joe were immediately voted out, and the town won.
  • Kyle held up a framed picture of Cole Gallian in rememberance, not because he's dead, but because he recently left Rooster Teeth to study in Japan. Cole couldn't make it to RTX this year, which bummed him out, so Kyle brought that photo at the panels Cole would've been on to keep his spirit alive.

You can see some photos from the Werewolves panel here!

Day 2

Let's Roll

On this Let's Roll panel, Rules Wizard Larry Matovina is joined by Trevor Collins, Alfredo Diaz, Matt Bragg, and Jeremy Dooley. The first game they played was "Rhino Hero: Super Battle", a tower-building game where you roll dice to progress up the tower, and whoever is at the highest point when it falls down wins. The second game played was "Snake Oil", a card game where the players are snake-oil salesmen who each have to pitch a product to potential customers in only 30 seconds, using 2 random words printed on one card in a 6-card hand.

There aren't many highlights from the Rhino Hero portion, but according to Tumblr user heyheyroosterteeth, Trevor recorded his POV on Instagram, but it may be tragically lost to time, because the admins of this site cannot find the recording for the life of us.

Highlights from the Snake Oil portion include:

Here are some photos from the Let's Roll panel, and here is a video clip of Jeremy's "Virgin Raft" pitch!

Team Friendly Fire

BlackKrystel and Ky Cooke were joined by their friends KoolySmiley, RayApollo, Bloodyfaster, CriticalBard, ChelseaBytes, and MeganPlays.

While we don't know much about this panel, two things we do know are:

  1. Before the panel started, Ky asked her followers on Twitter to comment random words for the panel, but didn't specify what the words were going to be used for.
  2. Those who weren't at the panel learned from AH's Twitter that the words were used for a "musical word-matching competition"! Regardless of who won, everyone seemed to have a great time.

Face Jam [RT Site VOD] [YouTube VOD]

Michael Jones, Jordan Cwierz, Eric Baudour, and Nick "Sauce Monkey" Schwartz were on this panel to review food and fuck around. Mostly fuck around, let's be real here. With credit to Tumblr user outinthegeoffs, highlights include:

  • Eric dyed his hair black! He didn't die it himself; Michael had a hair dye spray just for this bit, but let's pretend it's Eric's dye, okay?
  • Michael "cosplayed" as Gustavo Sorola by smearing Eric's black hair dye on his face, making it appear as if he had a unibrow.
  • They reviewed the ACC (Austin Convention Center) food throughout the panel, the PB&J Crunch and Hot Dog, to be precise. We don't know Michael and Jordan's exact scores, but there's a large chance that Michael rated it higher than Jordan, just to spite him.
  • Edit 7/14/22: The scores (finally)- Michael gave the convention food a rating of 92, and Jordan gave it a rating of 33, which led to an average score of 62.5.
  • Unsurprisingly, Jordan hated the food served at the ACC.
  • Nick threw sauce packets at the audience like the little bugs they are. Where was he storing all of those packets? It's best not to ask.

Second Achievement Hunter Panel [RT Site VOD]

Attending the other Achievement Hunter panel was Trevor Collins, Alfredo Diaz, Sarah Weems, Jeremy Dooley, Ky Cooke, Lindsay Jones, and Geoff Ramsey! Matt Bragg was planned to be on this panel, but couldn't make it, which led to Lindsay taking his place. Some highlights provided by Tumblr users outinthegeoffs and vanessakimbae include:

  • The AH crew is going to make a video in VR Minecraft!
  • The second Egg Jeopardy video that was teased in the first AH panel will have Michael, Ky, and BK as contestants.
  • Ky noting that, if possible, she wants to be on the third season of Survive Block Island.
  • Geoff said that he wanted to record a video of all of the F**kface sticks (white groan tube toys) and almost fell off of a chair trying to film it.
  • Lindsay is currently working on their own podcast(!!!)
  • AH is planning a VRChat video. They've attemped a pilot before with Joe and Lindsay "being let loose", but that recording wasn't "public-friendly", whatever that means.
  • One time, Michael sent Sarah Weems a fake positive COVID test solely just to fuck with her.
  • Being a huge fan of him, Ky wants to collab with JackSepticEye at some point in the future, and Geoff said to her that he can make it happen. Note that this doesn't mean a collab is happening or confirmed, but just the idea of it made Ky freak out.

Here are some photos from the panel!

Day 3

F-ing Around with Ify and Fiona

Ify Nwadiwe and Fiona Nova are joined by their friends BadGalShay, Tinaraes, AvaGG, MunchkinDoom, and DDS618 on the Gaming Pavilion as they all played through several rounds of Fall Guys with some community members! You can see several pictures Ify took of the group here.

Everyone seemed to have fun, but one highlight is that during a round of the game, nobody in their group qualified to advance to the next round because they all fell off of a platform around the same time. Fiona was most definitely stunned.

Survive Block Island: The Reunion [RT Site VOD]

In attendance was the entire cast of season 1: Alfredo Diaz, Barbara Dunkelman, BlackKrystel, Charlotte McGrath, Chris Demarais, Gustavo Sorola, Jacob Fullerton, Jon Risinger, Joe Lee, Lindsay Jones, Matt Bragg, Trevor Collins, and Patrick Brown.

Generally, the cast answered questions sent from the audience, talked about their perspectives on the first season, shared their reactions to how the games worked out for them, and of course, aired out the spicy (jokey) drama when the cameras were rolling. Here are some of the pictures from the panel!

Edit 7/17/22: Okay, so here's the "tea" (Spoilers for both the panel and the main SBI series ahead, of course):

  • Joe aired out his dirty laundry: After admitting to Barbara and Alfredo that he liked French fries and mayonnaise, they ran to Jon to tell him how weird he is, and if they should vote him off. Joe thought that through the power of friendship™, he would be fine... this was not the case.
  • Jacob, in his short life on the show, was determined to take Patrick down, but was unfortunately struck down in his prime.
  • Gus was a wanderer, and there were multiple points when he would stumble into the other team's camp.
  • Jon would build random structures when he was anxious, leading to many people finding single columns of grass blocks and believing it was part of the game. Charlotte wanted to give him a pity vote in the finals for this.
  • BK and Patrick's argument, according to Gus, was 10 minutes long, and Trevor was lowkey rooting for BK.
  • Alfredo was worried the second time he placed a totem since he knew the votes would start coming to him, so he relied on the people around him, and it worked out in his favor.
  • Barbara considered different alliances, particularly with Charlotte and Matt, who only wanted to fish and build houses. She regrets not working with Charlotte. She also says that part of her game tactic was to be the first one to talk to people, so she knew what to expect, and what to tell Alfredo about.
  • A question that was posed was that if Joe was part of the jury vote, who would vote for him? Jacob was the only one to raise his hand.

Achievement Hunter vs RDCWorld1

This one wasn't even a panel. The battle happened at the RTX Gaming Pavilion, a huge, crowded convention floor:

A shot of RTX Austin's Gaming Pavilion. Above the crowd of people are several television screens displaying visuals of the game "PICO PARK", and above that is a banner for RTX showing several images from various RT Productions.

so this event has the least amount of information publically available. What we do know for sure is that the two groups battled against each other in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. On the AH side was Matt Bragg, Michael Jones, Ky Cooke, and BlackKrystel, and on the RDCW side was Johnathan Newton, Benjamin Skinner, Mark Phillips, and Dylan Patel. Suffice to say, Achievement Hunter got their asses beat, but they did manage to catch some Ws thanks to BK.

OT3 Goes to Superhell

Ashley Dillard, Sarah Weems, and Jarren Martinez handled the panel in person, while Steffie Hardy joined virtually because on her way to the convention, someone she was hanging out with earlier tested positive for COVID. Fortunately, Steffie's test came out negative, but she didn't want to take the risk of getting others sick during the event, just in case.

Throughout the hour, the crew went through a speed round of mini-episodes where they dish out their hot takes from as many fandoms as they can.

Annual Pass Goes to Japan

Okay, so for anyone who doesn't listen to Annual Pass, there's a long-running joke started by Jack Pattillo that he, Geoff Ramsey, Ben Ernst (their producer) and now BlackKrystel should get enough funding to travel to amusement/theme parks in Japan and be able to write that off as a business expense. Jack joked about the Twitter hashtag being #GetAnnualPasstoJapan, which was shortened to #JapannualPass because that's much quicker to say.

It turns out that the estimated amount of money needed for them to go to Japan is a whopping $5,439,110.91.

All of this context is needed because the main highlight of their RTX panel has the same energy. Basically, they set up a PowerPoint presentation that looks like something a grade schooler pulled together in 30 minutes. It detailed all the reasons they should travel to Japan. You can see some pictures of the slides here, here, and here.

As a bonus, here's a photo from the AH Instagram:

ANMA [RT Site VOD]

This panel is hard to summarize because not a lot of information about it is out there on the internet, but what we know for sure is that Gustavo Sorola, Geoff Ramsey, and Eric Baudour shot the shit for an hour, and one thing they talked about is fake convention center coffee.

Edit 7/10/22: Oh my God, they actually saved the panel. It's audio-only instead of a video like the other VODs because the room they were in didn't allow it. To get around that, they bought an H6 portable audio recorder (as shown in the video thumbnail) and recorded the panel like a bootleg, hence the "lost tapes" in the VOD's URL. Amazing. The "audio texture" is off the charts for this episode, so if you're expecting clear audio, you're not getting it here, but it's honestly better than nothing.

Onto more highlights:

  • The coffee Eric got for Gustavo and Geoff is from a place called Fat Bat Doughnuts that was right near the convention center.
  • Geoff read a lot of Bat Facts™ because of this.
  • The first main story they told was about a time before Rooster Teeth when they (Gustavo and Geoff) went to E3 2001. There, they saw "a skateboarding demo that was being put on by a 10-year-old boy and Tony Hawk." The boy, who apparently kept crying on the halfpipe to the point his mom had to comfort him, eventually grew up to become a famous skateboarder himself, but the guys don't remember what his name was. At another booth, there were some UFC fighters there signing autographs, including Frank Shamrock, Tito Ortiz, and Chuck Liddell.
  • This is also where they met the old RT community site developers for the first time, since the devs were based in California at the time. Fun fact: that site launched right around the same time as Facebook!
  • According to Geoff, they "kinda stole the idea for the community site from Broken Lizard [American comedy troupe]." They thought their website was clever, so they went to the "About" page and found who made the site and contacted them.
  • Another story is that in Los Angeles, Gustavo worked on a commercial for Call of Duty: World at War. The main company who developed the game (Treyarch) assigned them with the lead scripter to work with them for 2 weeks.
  • This is the "Director's Cut" of the NFL commercial that the duo mentioned that they had to keep re-recording because of the dumb gameplay guidelines they got.
  • One time in the middle of RTX 2015, they had to evacuate the convention center. The "bullshit story" they told the public is that someone pulled a fire alarm, but what really happened was that at the time, Gustavo was one of the planners for the event who was on the show floor, and he had a walkie-talkie. He was summoned by the convention center security, and as they sat down in a room, security said that they had some "ongoing threat". Someone called earlier that day and said that they hid a bomb in the convention center, and that they'll detonate it. On the news that same year, there was "a group of people who would extort events by calling fake bomb threats" to try and get the events to pay them money, often in the range of $30,000-$40,000, to "disarm the bomb". Convention security had a feeling the bomb threat was fake, but just to be safe, they told Gustavo that they were going to evacuate the convention center because "they would hate to be wrong about it". After this, he called Barbara (who co-directed RTX at this time) to inform her, and right after he told her that they had to evacuate, all the alarms started going off. The show floor was emptied, except for two guys with weekend passes who were walking around towards the opposite direction to their hotel. He had to tell them to "get the fuck out." The fake bomb threat people eventually got arrested by the FBI.
  • Geoff mentions that that wasn't the first time that they've had people investigated by the FBI (what a sentence). At San Diego Comic-Con 2004, somebody came up to Gustavo and Geoff, who were selling season 1 and 2 DVDs and t-shirts of RvB at the time, and the fan, as well as many other people, asked them to sign DVDs the duo didn't recognize. They spotted the fakes because they were the only people who made all of the legit merch when the company was still that small. Geoff showed one to Matt Hullum, and when Matt asked the fan where he bought that from, the fan responded that he got it from somewhere 5 aisles away, and Matt clocked it as a bootleg. Matt then gave him a real DVD, and after that, asked the fan to point to where he got the fake one from. Geoff followed the fan and Matt from behind and saw these dudes with a ton of bootleg DVDs on a table, with a few other bootleg locations at Comic-Con. Geoff called the guys out on their bootlegs, noting that he was one of the people who made RvB, and the guys kept denying that they knew what Geoff was talking about. Matt then took the DVDs, and told the bootleggers that they're not allowed to sell them anymore. With the other guys being too stubborn to give up, Matt went up to the table and flipped it, with the remaining DVDs flying everywhere. Matt then said that (this is a paraphrase) "if they sold bootlegs again, he was going to kill them." Finally, Matt walked up to a security officer and told on the guys selling bootlegs. They were comepletely gone from the convention after that, and one week later, the RT crew learned that the FBI raided and arrested them. Moral of the story: Don't fuck with Matt Hullum.

Always Open

The Always Open panel was led by Barbara Dunkelman, along with her friends Jessica Vasami, Elyse Willems, and Blizzb3ar!

While we know this isn't technically AH-related, we felt it was important to let you know that besides Barb answering questions and prompts from the audience as usual, she also announced that Always Open will be back this coming Fall! Thanks to Tumblr user heyheyroosterteeth, we know we're getting a new set, and Barbara is going to be the host! Due to a position change in the company, Mariel will not be back hosting. However, she'll be on as a guest when she can!

And of course, here are some cute photos of the crew!

Off Topic [RT Site VOD] [YouTube VOD]

Joining this panel is Fiona Nova, Ify Nwadiwe, Michael Jones, Alfredo Diaz, and Geoff Ramsey (with a bonus Jack Pattillo running on stage!)

Hoo boy. The only thing (and possibly biggest thing) we have to go off of at this panel for now is a post from Tumblr user outinthegeoffs in which Fiona apparently taught the audience so much about Ify's sex life. Based off of Twitter reactions and this ominous selfie from Ify himself, we're like, 90% sure that Ify ate somebody's ass (or someone ate HIS ass?) in the back of his Tesla car, and the result was, in a literal sense, messy as fuck. We don't even know how much more explicit we can get with this panel description once the VOD for the panel comes out. What we can say for sure is that Ify is an absolute menace.

Edit 7/9/22: So it turns out we were mostly right! The only thing we missed was that the woman whose ass was eaten by Ify was a Disney cast member, as was Ify, which is how they hooked up. Fiona found out through sheer coincidence from the woman, and as a result of that, told it to the public. We don't know if that was a blessing or a curse, but it was really funny nonetheless.

Please use these wholesome panel photos as a palette cleanser.

Anyways, other highlights include:


6/26/22

For those who've missed it, Achievement Hunter: The Musical was missing on major streaming platforms for several months since earlier this year, for reasons nobody really knows to this day. With this tweet from Jack, we at the very least know that AH didn't voluntarily take it down themselves. With all of this being said, we're happy to note that AH the Musical has successfully reappeared on Spotify as of today! With this, there have been two major changes:

The first change is that the album cover art has been updated to include Fiona:

The album cover art of Achievement Hunter: The Musical. Stylized text reading "AH The MUSICAL" is in the center, while eight boxes containing members of AH (four boxes on top, four on bottom) take up the rest of the remaining space. Top row: Fiona (Unknown Song Title), Michael (Get Sprunked), Jack and Geoff (Team OG), Gavin, Trevor, and Alfredo (Hard to Breathe). Bottom row: Gavin by himself (Gavin is a Prick), Matt (Matt's Song), Lindsay (Lindsay Wins), and Jeremy (Good at Being Bad).
Album art credit: Roger "Rogzilla" Brunke

We don't know anything about Fiona's song for the musical yet, but her being included on the updated album cover confirms that despite her leaving AH in 2021, she and the rest of AH still want to do stuff together, and we think that's really sweet :')

The other major change is that "Still in the Air" (Ryan's song) has been grayed out, meaning that people aren't able to play it from the album anymore. This was likely intentional, considering, well... everything that happened with Ryan back in 2020.

Currently, it still doesn't seem to show up on iTunes/Apple Music, but there's a chance that things are still being finalized there, considering that it took months for the musical to show up on Spotify. For the time being, check back here to see when it does pop up.

Edit 6/29/22: The musical has successfully shown up again on Apple Music! Happy listening ~𝅘𝅥𝅮


6/24/22

With RTX right around the corner (one week from today!), here are a few updates we've gathered so far:

  • Edit 6/30/22: Oh shit! The RTX schedule updated, and we didn't find out until about two days ago. We'll be updating the FAQ on this fansite as soon as possible. Sorry for the delay!
  • Edit 6/28/22: Hey! Thanks to this Reddit comment from Barbara Dunkelman, we have more insight on why the virtual panel tickets came and went so quickly. Like she said, she's not on the RTX team this year, but does has prior experience co-running the convention, so please keep that in mind. The basic summary is that setting up streaming services is crazy expensive, and they can't afford it this year because of a smaller budget (presumably because of the pandemic negatively impacting them). With that, they needed a extremely high demand of tickets to justify the costs for the tech needed to stream. Of course, the demand wasn't high enough, and now the fans at home don't get any livestreams at all.
  • Edit 6/26/22: Rooster Teeth has updated the RTX app for both iOS and Android devices! For some reason, they didn't make an announcement about it as of the time of writing this edit, but regardless, here are the links: [Apple App Store] [Google Play Store]
  • The full schedule is up on RT's socials, as well as in the FAQ page of the fansite. You can follow up with specifics, like panel descriptions, on the RTX Event Twitter page, or go directly to the RTX site to find out more.
  • Virtual tickets are no longer available due to low demand, according to this tweet from RT Support. This means that RTX panels are only accessible to those who are attending the event in person. Some VODs will be available during and after RTX, but at this time, it is unknown which panels will be recorded for later release.
  • Due to this, we unfortunately will not be able to update the fansite with news from RTX until the information comes out after the event ends, and even then, we want to be sure all of our sources are reliable. Meaning, we probably won't say anything until AH/RT announces something on their social media accounts themselves.

This really isn't how we hoped to get news out about RTX, but we hope you'll be patient with us while we gather all the information. For those going to RTX this year, have fun and stay safe! For those unable to go for whatever reason, we hope that next year, RT will give the audience better alternates for enjoying the convention to everyone. ♡

Oh hey, new doc just dropped.

Seven people on a stage during a live event. From left to right: Charlotte and Patrick from Funhaus, Joe, Fiona, Jeremy, Michael, and Alfredo.

Today, part 1 of Achievement Hunter's AH Live 2022 documentary went up on the RT site, exclusively for FIRST members. As mentioned on Twitter, part 2 will be out next week (June 21st).

This part is similar to the full Let's Play Live doc from 2015, back when Ray was still an AH member. If you enjoyed that, then this one will certainly be a treat!

6/21/22

Update: Hey, part 2 just dropped.

Nine people on a stage (with eight of them having their their faces shown clearly) during a live event. From left to right: Lindsay, Gavin, Jack, Alfredo, Geoff, Jeremy, Michael, and Ky.

The second part of Achievement Hunter's AH Live 2022 documentary is now up on the RT site, exclusively for FIRST members. This one's a real tearjerker (in a good way, we promise).


6/9/22

Trevor spent some time answering community questions in both the Achievement Hunter and Rooster Teeth subreddits yesterday. He touched on the changes the team has been making and how it's an ever evolving process, that they have seen positive change as far as the algorithm is concerned- although, he also pointed out it will take time to truly know if what they are doing will stick. Trevor has noted that they are working with trusted consultants on this and feel confident they're moving in the right direction. He's also mentioned a change in how the team approaches streaming, citing Twitch activity and the State Farm Gamerhood streams specifically, with hopefully more to come!

There were a couple instances in which he mentioned this, and we have mentioned it ourselves here on this site, but he hopes the community stays engaged (and most importantly patient) with these changes! Trevor cares a whole lot about AH and the community as a whole, so please trust him! You can read his full comments by following this link to his user profile on Reddit.


6/7/22

So like, what's up with all the eggs lately?

"Egg Jeopardy!" is a passion project Trevor has been teasing for the past month or so. As the title suggests, it's like the popular American TV game show "Jeopardy!", but themed entirely around eggs. No huge spoilers, but the concept is as weird as it sounds. Trevor's in a bald cap. The buzzers are eggs. There are egg puns. Hell, the profile picture on AH's Twitter was just changed to this: The egg-themed profile image from Achievement Hunter's Twitter account. The iconic green is changed to yellow, and Trevor's silly little bald head replaces the star and joystick in the center.

It's absolutely surreal. If you haven't experienced the video yet, you can watch it now on the RT site and on YouTube.


5/31/22

Hey, guess what? Best of Achievement Hunter is back! For those who missed the series when it was updating consistently, AH made video compilations that highlighted their best or funniest bits and jokes from the past month, once a month. (e.g., A video for the best of March 2017 was uploaded on the 1st of April that same year.) Today, May 31st, we saw that a new compilation for May 2022 is scheduled to release on June 1st at 12 pm CST/1 pm EST, as shown below: A screenshot of the schedule from the RT site, showing the 1 pm CST slot for the series "Best of Achievement Hunter" for May 2022.

We don't know why they decided to bring the series back from the dead with no fanfare (yet), but we're excited nonetheless! Everyone can watch it now on the RT site or on YouTube!


5/13/22

You may have noticed that Achievement Hunter's editing style has shifted with the newest season of YDYD. Trevor shared a longer explanation as to why it's happening on Off Topic #334 (which you can see here, in case you missed it). To make a 5 minute discussion short, AH will be testing out different forms of video styles in order to better cater to YouTube's algorithm while still staying true to AH's core values. Trevor emphasized that he wants to be open and honest with the community during this transition, and that feedback is appreciated.

6/1/22

Update: Trevor released a statement on Tumblr today addressing the harsh criticism the cast and crew have been subjected to since the release of the newest season of YDYD. In this, he explains that while they test out new directions with their content and work towards necessary change, it is difficult when the community lashes out in the scale that it has. You can read the full statement here on his Tumblr account.

Since this is a community site, we feel it's worth mentioning that there is a difference between constructive criticism and outright hurtful words. Achievement Hunter has been transparent in that YouTube's algorithm is a hard beast to tackle, and that it requires evolution and change to be successful. As a community, it's as much our duty to uplift things that we like, by commenting, liking videos, and interacting within your community spaces, no matter what platform you're on. Please remember that AH are people too, whose lives rely on this, so any changes they make are never half-hearted. Basically: don't be an asshole about it.
