Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter

In  Austin, Texas. There lies the production studios known as Rooster Teeth. They are well known for the animated internet series Red vs Blue series that is based off the Halo games and the newest popular series RWBY that is created by Monty Oum. They are one of the most popular youtube channels for gaming and animation but also have RT shorts, RT life,Rooster Teeth podcasts, immersion and much more that are also increasingly popular.

Achievement Hunter is part of Rooster Teeth, created by Geoff Ramsay and Jack Patillo who noticed that there wasn't any achievement based communities on the internet and so... achievement hunter was born. Achievement Hunter focused on the gaming achievements or easter eggs you get for xbox 360 but has now expanded into let's plays that have become increasingly popular.
Current Achievement Hunter hosts are:

Team Gents:
- Geoff Ramsay, known for his infectious laugh and is host of most of the games and worlds like Achievement City, their minecraft world and base of operations. Minecraft skin: Master Chief
- Jack Patillo, known for his beard, playing a female avatar in games(except minecraft) and also for having either really good luck or really bad luck in games. Minecraft skin: Trials biker
- Ryan Heywood, known for being rather smart with technology and despite seeming mild mannered in life. He is extremely creepy to his employees when it comes to gaming. One incident being on minecraft involving a cow. Minecraft skin: Scottish man

Team Lads:
- Gavin Free, known for the slow mo guys and being smart when it comes to planning but not so smart when it comes to putting a plan into motion which often gets him yelled at or makes him lose in a game. He's kind of like a loveable idiot. Minecraft skin: Creeper
- Michael Jones, known for his rage quit videos that got him hired by Geoff. He tends to yell at Gavin when they work together in games but they're best friends, their fanfiction pairing is mavin. Minecraft skin: Banjo the bear.
- Ray Narvaez Jr. He is the best gamer in Achievement Hunter, known for his high gamer score and being known as the Black ops guy since that is the game he has the highest score in and is also unbeatable in the game. He is also known for being X-Ray in the X-Ray and Vav. Minecraft skin: Tuxedo Steve but he calls himself Tuxedo Mask due to his love of roses.

Now Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter are one of the rare things that give me lots of amusement. Mainly because it's really funny. It's why one of my life dreams is to go to their RTX conventions in Austin. On a side note, RTX doesn't stand for anything. They mentioned this on one of their podcast because people kept saying it stands for Rooster Teeth Expo.

Either way, Rooster Teeth have done well for themselves and are bound to do bigger things in the future. And a big congratulations to Achievement Hunter who this year have been around for five years. Hopefully they continue to be the great production studios they are and continue to surprise us in the gaming world.

Next post is going to involve the gaming world with a famous gamer known for amnesia maps and indie games.
