There have been several "download everything you can because it's so getting deleted" posts wrt to RT being shut down next month so I would like to draw your attention to the Archive of Pimps. People have been working very hard to archive the entire Rooster Teeth catalogue (including First content) and while most of it has been backed up the to Internet Archive they could use help with organizing it. Instead of a bunch of people individually downloading different videos sporadically to their own machines, check to see if the videos you want are already on the archive and you can download them from there and if you might like to help organize.

quick everyone rush to fill the void i want 10+ new halo machinemas of varying poor quality made by nerds on my desk by next month

Watched the RT livestream. Cried a lot.

The TLDR:

- All news and information regarding the RT closure will be posted on their website as and when decisions are made.

- RT will continue operations for the next 60 days. The time will be used to wind operations down appropriately.

- New Camp Camp and Red vs Blue will air as planned.

- The same RWBY discussions around partnerships to continue making the show have not ceased.

- Content that is currently available via official channels on YouTube is slated to stay there.

There was other stuff, I'm too brain dead to add anything else. Someone else feel free to expand.

Fyi, a bunch of Redditors are working to archive RT and AH content. Find more info and a link to the discord here, and here’s the site where they’re uploading everything.

Another Redditor has a torrent for every AH video across all YouTube channels, linked here, though no one can confirm how good the video quality is.

Personally, I’m also gonna be nabbing a good chunk of content to store locally. All the Minecraft Let’s Plays, Hardcore Minigolf, TTT if I can get adequate storage, various videos here and there that made me laugh over the years.

If any of you have First accounts, I would suggest downloading any First-exclusive content you want to retain access to. It’s unclear if First content will be nuked once the company shuts down, and the archivers are currently not uploading it anywhere due to it technically being piracy.

Okay. So.

On Twitter, Jason Weight, head writer of season 17, tweeted out that he was going to share his unmade scripts, as well as sharing a link to a Grimmons scene and the reveal that he intended for Grimmons to be canon, were he to have written season 18:

Then, the Tumblr account @riproosterteeth shared a post with a Google Drive of Jason’s unused 17 scripts and concepts for 18:

This is not Jason, but I do have confirmation that he is okay with these scripts getting leaked.

The contents of the drive include two episodes of season 17 and many concepts and short scenes for 18, including things like a focus on Wash’s recovery, the return of Junior, Grif and Simmons being “unhappy to learn that they’re gay,” an action heavy Locus B-plot, and the intention to introduce a team of 4 new characters and a “well-liked public figure” to act as the protagonist and antagonist, respectively, for season 19. Along with many more concepts you should read for yourself!

I know rooster teeth had a whole fucking host of problems and haven't watched their stuff in years but I still shed a tear for another day another internet group getting bought out by big media companies because "they're successful" and then being shut down because they don't make enough profit for wall street. let things stay small. not everything needs to be contract deals and billboards the beauty of the internet should be that there's thousands of little things for people to find the niche they like, not that anything that becomes popular is obviously the next big franchise and we need to throw millions of dollars at it. We live in an era where big companies are taking everything small from us. Heardle getting bought out by Spotify and then shut down bc they realized it cost more than it made. capitalism and the Internet are not built for each other.

some of these scripts are kind of rough (“sarge is bisexual” is really bad i think lol) but these are definitely like. very spec first draft i don’t think they should be judged too harshly here

guys let’s pool our money together to buy rvb. how much could it be like. 25 dollars max

[lightishred]

I hope Rooster Teeth immediately crumbles and shuts down the moment season 19 drops so the company starts and ends with rvb like a cursed amulet that drains your life force and corrupts your mind

now i know people like to say red vs. blue sucks or whatever but i would be lying if i said i didn't think it was a fantastically written series that changed how i approach dialogue and humor on a fundamental level. also, i have the deepest respect for machinima as an art form.
