Rooster Teeth Productions

I'll just close with one other comment because I think it's worth reflecting on this.

We often talk about outstanding achievements of a few machinima creators, like, for example, Rooster Teeth.

But for me, these guys have had a much more enduring appeal and they've stuck to their origin story of being machinima rappers, basically.

And I think that's a super impressive story to be told about the impact that this stuff has on the community that they appeal to.

Like Kinect shit.

There was a period in time when there was piles of Kinects at the Rooster Teeth office.

You couldn't give them away.

And I bet now they're probably pretty fucking sought after.

Like, you know, from working with all those different companies, they all had different.

infrastructure dynamics and infrastructures and culture and all of that shit and like you know meg meg said when she went off to rooster teeth it was like completely it was like turning the light on in like a like a i don't know anything

about rooster teeth dude i don't and i know i know a lot of stuff i don't know anything about rooster teeth

i think you don't know anything about rooster teeth because there were no black people there it felt like Why didn't they have any black people there? Some Mexicans, some

Asians, some Mexicans, some Asians, something.

You

And so it's gonna be a tough sell.

I wanted to

I did it at Machinima.

I did it at Rooster Teeth.

And the thing that's interesting about this movie, not interesting, but sad, is that usually the people at the very, very top, and we're talking all the way at the top, not even like at the top of Rooster Teeth, but at the top of whatever Warner Brothers, is they prey on the creative people.

So it used to be that they like probably early on in movies, you know, how like movie studios immediately started literally taking their actors and being like, we'll pay them five dollars a movie or whatever, because they knew they could make millions off of them and pay them nothing.

They started that so long ago and it's still going.

If you want to watch this along with us, please pull it up on YouTube.

Play it with the Rooster Teeth animation or the Rooster Teeth channel playlist on season 13 or put in your DVD, whatever you do.

Pause it at zero seconds.

As soon as we say ready, set, action, go ahead and press play.

[laughs]

And I'm unsubscribing from Rooster Teeth right now.

I hope you're happy.

[laughs] When was he on...

That was, that was so long ago he was on Rooster Teeth.

Yeah.

[laughs]

...

Yeah.

So, um, after I sold ScrewAttack, went and worked for a company called Rooster Teeth for three years, and I've said this many, many times, it was the worst three years of my life.

And I learned something very, very important, I think.

I am a horrible employee.

Like, I don't follow the rules.

I think I can do it better than people, and I don't like being told no by people who don't know me, and don't know my brand, don't know the ambitions.

And that's what I saw for three years at Rooster Teeth, was people constantly telling you, "No, you can't do that.

No, you can't..." And, and I had to get seven sign-offs to do...
