In light of the news that the RT website and apps will shut down on May 15, I'm starting a record of what I've got saved locally + what I'm planning to save. I am not trying to get a comprehensive archive of all AH/LP content; that's what the Archive of Pimps is for. Instead, this is a personal library that prioritizes content that I enjoyed and want to rewatch down the road.

If you think I'm missing anything, let me know. If you have requests for specific videos, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Also, if anyone has a FIRST account they don't mind sharing, I'd love to get into the RT website and get local saves of FIRST content, like Hardcore Tabletop. RT has disabled the ability to purchase a FIRST membership, and has not shared what will be happening to FIRST content once the website shutters.

Finally, I'm currently on pace to fill up a 2TB hard drive (Minecraft alone is almost 1TB), and I'll need another 2/4TB hard drive to continue nabbing local saves of things. If anyone feels inclined to throw a few bucks my way to subsidize the second hard drive, I'd be mighty appreciative, and would be happy to nab some downloads for you in return. ko-fi.com/asmolbirb

AH content I've finished saving locally:

All Fall Guys videos

All Minecraft Let's Play, Let's Build, and Things to Do videos, as far as I can tell

All Overcooked videos

The Shenanigans playlist, plus the RT microwave heist video

The Trivia Games playlist

Axe Kicking Gavin's desk

AH Musical

All Jackbox videos

All Fore Honor, Golf It, Hardcore Minigolf, and 3D Ultra Minigolf videos

GTA heists

AH content I've got queued up to save locally:

AH Rap Battles + Jeremy's Hap Battle

All GMod videos, including all Trouble in Terrorist Town videos

The Ultimate Chicken Horse series

All GTA videos

AH content I plan to save locally, once I get another 2/4TB hard drive:

All GTA videos (but especially the heists)

The Fiona/Gavin ACNH video

Some of my favorite Let's Roll videos, like But Wait There's More and Muffin Time

The Cloudberry Kingdom series

Nomad of Nowhere (download from Internet Archive)

Once I finish getting things that are in playlists, I'll go through the AH and LP channels to get single videos too. I'll make a list for that once I get there.

All lists are current as of 4/22/24. I'll update the list as downloads are completed.

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.

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

#rt shutdown #lmfao holy shit

[powerbottomjeremy]

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.

I’m coping in an extremely healthy manner by rewatching the Minecraft playlist and god….. it was a simpler sillier time back then. I miss the jokes and fandom and camaraderie more than I can articulate. It’s lovely to be back in that era and remember all the fun I had with my fandom friends and the AH guys and everything

Ok actually ya know what, who here has an up to date google drive of Camp Camp, RVB, and/or Nomad of Nowhere

#rt shutdown #oh let me know if anyone responds please #I’d like to have NoN on hand

[powerbottomjeremy]

If you don’t wanna see my posts abt the RT news, blacklist #rt shutdown

I haven't watched any RT and related content in a very long time, but the company going down is still jarring.

AH was the first gaming YT I ever actually intentionally followed and was the only one for a long time. I didn't really get into the community for it until Jeremy started streaming on Twitch back in 2016. It's been a ride ever since. I have made and lost so many friends since then and I couldn't be happier than where I am at right now.

RT created a butterfly effect in so many people's lives that will never be forgotten.

Here's hoping all the people who just found out today that they won't have a job in a month or so are able to find a new one swiftly.

the thing about variety describing warner bros discovery making "unsuccessful attempts to sell the unprofitable fandom" is that this shifts all the blame on the audience. how are you gonna try that with a fandom that crowdfunded films on a record-breaking scale, raised millions for extra life for years and years, and spawned their own fucking convention because RT was so goddamn popular?? insane that poor business restructuring and shitty company practices from WBD is being spun into "our audience didn't give us enough money so unfortunately, we have to sell RWBY (a western show that enjoys enormous popularity in japan despite not being a homegrown anime) and RvB (a show which pioneered machinima as both a genre and medium)"

Achievement Hunter is changing and we're taking you with us

As you may have noticed, Achievement Hunter has gone through a number of changes this year. We’ve grown a bit smaller as our cast has moved on to work on exciting new ventures, including Inside Gaming and VTubing. Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of Dogbark, a new content group featuring Michael Jones, Alfredo Diaz, Trevor Collins, and Joe Lee. 

Rooster Teeth is at its best when employees have been given the opportunity to pursue new creative passions. Fifteen years ago, this meant giving Geoff the ability to create Achievement Hunter. And today, this means letting the Achievement Hunter cast move on to new creative projects.

Over the last few years, this has allowed our cast to put time into creating F**kface, ANMA, Red Web, Face Jam, and more. More recently, Jack and BK have put their efforts into streaming at Inside Gaming, Lindsay has begun exploring Vtubing as Ruby, and Ky is producing multiple projects, including some of those listed above.

With all of our new focuses, this means we will not be actively creating content for the Achievement Hunter channel. Let’s Play will also look a little bit different moving forward, but we can assure you that it’s not going anywhere, and it’s in great hands.

But why Dogbark, and not just new shows under the Achievement Hunter banner? At this point in our creative careers, we have grown as both people and as entertainers. Much like how early Achievement Hunter evolved from video game guides to Let’s Plays, we’re looking to take Dogbark in a bold new direction that is more heavily focused on improv and sketch comedy. It’s new. It’s fun. It’s weird. And it’s such a departure from what Achievement Hunter has been that we feel Dogbark is truly its own thing.

We’re very excited to share these projects with all of you, and we really do hope you’ll enjoy all the new content we have in store. Through the years, we’ve reached heights we never thought possible–from Haunter to the Hardcore series, from RTX Panels to AH Live Tours. Whether you joined us back in 2008 or 2023, we couldn’t have done this without you. We have been met with so much support as we’ve grown and changed over the years, and we can’t thank you enough for that.

We know this news might be shocking and saddening for you. It’s bittersweet. On one hand, we’re saying “See you later” to a truly indescribable brand. On the other, we’re getting to pursue new passions, explore, test ourselves as creators, and that’s an incredibly exciting experience. It’s hard to do the same thing for our whole lives, and we shouldn’t have to. But, just because we’re not a part of AH anymore doesn’t mean that we didn’t appreciate the time spent there, or with you.

It’s okay to be sad; it’s okay to take time to process. After, when you’re ready, come join us over at Inside Gaming, F**kface, RWBY’s Twitch, Dogbark, Red Web, Face Jam, ANMA, and So…Alright. We’ll be waiting for you.

Love, 

-AH

We’ve anticipated your questions and have created an FAQ below that will hopefully provide answers.

Where are [insert the AH person you are looking for] going?

Honestly, nowhere. They’re still here at Rooster Teeth, but are jumping into new exciting opportunities that bring them joy and passion.Geoff and Gavin are focusing on F**kface, Jack and BK are streaming over with Inside Gaming, Lindsay is launching a RWBY Vtubing Twitch, and Ky is producing these projects. Michael, Trevor, Alfredo, and Joe are excited to announce their new project, Dogbark, which launches 10/2.

Does this mean AH content is going away?

Nope. It’ll exist in perpetuity online. Both on Rooster Teeth Site and Apps as well as the AH YouTube channel.

Will AH ever return?

Think of it like your favorite band going on hiatus. We don’t want to close the door completely and turn off all the lights. There’s always the chance that One Direction will come back.

Is Let’s Play content and channel going away?

Also nope! But stay tuned, you might recognize who will start showing up (and reshowing up) there.

#I’m definitely feeling some type of way about it but #can’t deny that this makes sense #and in some sense I’ve been waiting for this since haywoodgate #when the brand is so intertwined with the personalities within it and then those personalities leave… #…you end up asking how much of the brand is really left #and it’s never been fair to the new personalities to ask them to shoulder the mantle of a brand like that
