    Man, I feel so bad for the people who were hired before they moved to the new office. It seems they never forgot their passion and their love for what they did.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Kerry during RTX 2016. That was a big highlight of my experience at the convention and my year as a whole. I told him that it was because of RWBY that I decided to even go into animation in the first place. 2016 was my Junior year and this show made me hard pivot from settling with a normal “successful” career into pursuing my actual dream job. So hearing him say that experiences like mine are what brought him the greatest honor really got to me. Thank you for encouraging and inspiring me Kerry. I’m gonna stay the course, til the end.

    It's sad that most people probably wont be on the lookout for this video, because I feel like Kerry pretty much encapsulated all of the hurt but also all of the lessons that can be learned from Rooster Teeth's life and its closing. Everything isn't forever. You should appreciate what you have. Don't be afraid to make some weird shit. Don't be afraid to meet your heroes.
    On a completely personal note, with Akira Toriyama passing and Rooster Teeth closing, 2 of the titans of my childhood have fallen within a week of each other. It's a little surreal lol

    Kerry is kind of an unsung hero of the company. He's a great example of what the company was like in their golden years. He got hired as a kid really and worked up to being able to work with Monty on what I still think is probably their greatest production ever. I'm so glad he gives respect to Monty whenever given the chance, but I also want him to know that he's loved too. He picked up the torch after Monty left this world unexpectedly and I'm so glad he helped immensely with giving us some of the best seasons of RWBY. Thank you Kerry for keeping Monty's dream going. I think you did the best that anyone could have done with RWBY. And if it continues you need to be a part of it along with the rest of the team. Thank you RT for hiring these people and giving us what you created over the years. You will always be remembered.

      Same. I wish I could have gone to RTX just once in my life, but sadly, I could never afford it. Not just the money, but also the time. The first few years, I was unemployed and had no income, but the last few years, I had an income, but it was very limited, and it was already earmarked for paying bills (primarily student debt). Plus, I was working at a job that would have never given me the time off to go anyway, because it was around one of the biggest holidays of the year.
