I was a huge fan of Rooster Teeth ever since the first season of red vs blue. I loved their sponsorship model and was a proud supporter. When they did a kickstarter to fund their Laser team movie I dug down deep and gave everything I could comfortably give. And then months later they sold to Full Screen and I felt so betrayed. When LRR got recommended to me 4 years ago I got so nostalgic watching the archives for that early 2000’s new media era and was so happy to see someone still carrying the torch. Love everything you do and I’m excited for the future
A few years after starting following LRR, I wondered why y'all never ended up getting even bigger and kept your growth so small in comparison to places like RT. Then they stopped getting so weird and toned down while LRR kept getting more fun and weird. I for one think you definitely made a good decision by not going the infinite growth attempt route.
Note on 1:45 - Gotham Knights was not a live-service. It's very geared toward online co-op and there is a 'loot' system, but none of it was monetized beyond what you pay upfront and none of the post-launch updates retroactively turned the game into a live-service. Played through it recently with my partner and had a lovely time, anyway.
Well that’s awkward, my apologies. Typically try not to err like that. It *was* poorly reviewed and still looks odd with WB’s comments, but fair point. Glad you enjoyed it!

Graham, question on Rooster Teeth actually - they've been doing a yearly charity thing with Extra Life for a long time now. I believe creative people there have expressed a hope in continuing the charity part - any chance Desert Bus's restructuring could mean a chance to connect there and help organize / figure something out?
Its not surprising that Rooster Teeth was shut down as they had been on the downturn for years and things just kept getting more and more corporate and less what made them engaging in the early years. That being said it really is between them and you (yes you LRR) that I got into the film industry and actually believe that working in visual media to be a valid career so thank you for inspiring me to do that
Still have my Vic-20 and Colecovision, fellow gen-Xer! Happy to be overlooked by marketers for Boomers, then Millennials, and now Zennial (or whatever).
I still have my Atari 5200 and Odyssey^2. NES was so incredible when it came out, such a huge upgrade, and not just because the gamepads were better than the awful joysticks of those two systems. Can't remember the first computer we had, but it was an early DOS machine, while the school had Apple IIe and later Macintoshes.
If watching a bunch of commercials in languages I don't understand for products I cant purchase taught me anything, it's that commercials not aimed at you are great. Because you can just experience the trap beat monster trying to sell you dino nuggets in peace.
As someone who's been following your content for I guess nearly 15 years at this point, I'm grateful that you've continued to do things your way. Just the other day I looked for the snakeoil skit to share as a video for a joke someone was making about marketing being invented. At this point I wonder how often people remember or think about strip search (about finding an artist). During Desert Bus a very long time ago there was a 2-3 minute shoutfest of Naruto and Sasuke that starts out angry and morphs into sassy love that still sticks with me as the most perfect abridged version of the series. Somewhere I have a desert bus 07 poster that I think was made during the event with the memes as they happen and still think about the lyric, 'And I where my grand dad's clothes, they feel incredible' that was a big feature eof the event. And these days I mostly catch CheckPoint and I wasn't ever following all the content you all make, but just want to highlight the impact it has over years, even casually watching it, and probably how many people online who still think about, have memories of, or think to share some skit they loved from years ago. Your work has definitely had tremendous impact on spreading joy to a lot oof people and thank you for all you do!

So I finally got to meet some of you lovely folks at Magic Con Chicago, and you were all just as awesome as I could have ever hoped. I fully intend to keep watching and supporting for another 20 years, so I hope you are all up to it :D
I found the Japanese commercial Kathleen is speaking of by searching on youtube 'Nintendo Switch CM 2024' even leaving out the japanese character in the title, rather than using the former bird hellsite if you don't want to. It's very sweet, but honestly a lot of the Japanese Nintendo commercials with people in them are. The last thing I would think about any of it is that they're calling the 3DS retro. I always think, I wish American commercials felt more genuine like these.
I am looking forward to next year when the run ads showing someone having childhood memories of the Wii U, and wanting to re-connect to the old games that used to play as a 5-year like Xenoblade Chronicles X and Bayonetta 2.
I wouldn't trade LRR for some bastardized corpo version of it even if you offered me ownership of Amazon for that to happen. I love the work y'all do for what makes it truly great - your effort, dedication, and love for it. Plus, corporations are poison. I'll take the small group of weirdos from Canada having fun that is LRR over the corporate nonsense, rampant worker abuse, and repeated proof of rampant racism, sexism, homophobia, & transphobia that was Rooster Teeth in its later years. I had good memories with RT, don't get me wrong (there's a reason I plan to archive the seasons of RvB I liked from when I was younger onto a hard drive to watch at my leisure, and I grew up watching Achievement Hunter), but y'all have kept true to yourselves - and made it work - in a way few people who got their start in the early days of the internet can claim. Keep being yourselves, I'll buy merch when I can, and one day - if I ever get to have the joy of being financially stable - I'll gladly support you on Patreon, Twitch, and/or UA-cam.
Re: end discussion; A friend showed me the episode where Beej started talking about Destiny 2, and sounded off the names of exotic weapons during the second half of the story. Been following you ever since. I didn't realize just how old loading ready run is by contrast. It's kind of neat, and especially nice to do what little support I can for independent creators. I followed The Escapist video team to Second Wind, and Ricky and Eliot from Machinina's ETC Show to Internet Today when both of those events happened.

If you haven’t, you should check out the LRR 20th anniversary podcasts. You might get a kick out of the years where LRR were part of the previous Escapist video stable.
As a former wb games employee, every decision they make is so much easier to understand when you realize just how little executives internalize literally anything that isn't positive profit margins. Plus, their statement regarding the future of live service stuff is more about the stuff they already probably have in development and a sunk cost fallacy than anything else

Fair, that was what I intended by my air quotes. People are *calling* it sideloading, but it’s actually the second thing I said. I didn’t want to distract from the story by sidetracking myself.
Fun fact about the Star Trek thing: Star Trek TOS was actually broadcast on the PBS station WVIA in the 80's, so like, turns out, your government subscription totally does (or did) come with Star Trek!
Nintendo switch online retro games are not only run on emulation software, there is evidence that Nintendo didn't even develop the emulator. They scraped code from an open source project. And then they go and say that all emulators are piracy and should be illegal. The whole thing just gives me a headache.
Yeah, I remember being introduced to RT circa 2005 and I stopped watching their content a few years ago when it became... really not for me. Anything I heard after that showed them falling further.
For context on the Pokemon Switch ad, I still have my Pokemon yellow strategy guide that I bought new with the game at Sam's Club. The 3ds is not THAT old, nor is is it Shantae old, which just became drinking age last year for the original Color carts.
I can't believe Warner Bros owns the patent to the nemesis system and the game rights for fucking Batman and haven't put two and two together. That patent which shouldn't even be legal, has likely set the industry back 15 years. Imagine if minecraft had patented crafting/survival systems in the early 2010s and how different the games industry would be today as a result. EDIT: I wonder if Warner Bros is indulging in some kind of fraud. They're clearly trying to manipulate stuff for financial gain. I guess it just depends on whether thats for the gain of shareholders or the executives specifically. Which is horrifying.
Yeah, as someone that’s broadly on Epic’s side of things because I find the iOS Walled Garden rather concerning, my main stance is basically just “For fucks sake, Tim, please shut the fuck up…”
I don't know much about how things are run and how the finances work, but I am very happy that Loading Ready Run is where it is and has the people that it does. I lost interest in rooster teeth content a long time ago, and I didn't realize WB owned them and now I'm wondering if the two happened to coincide.
Epic taking the classic ban victim stance. To paraphrase commedian Ron White: "It turns out they were busting everyone maliciously breaking that particular system, and that's profiling... and profiling is wrong."
It's sad nostalgically but the writing has been on the wall for a long time there. the only part of that story that surprised me was that warner bros. somehow ended up owning rooster teeth.
I've been watching you wierdo's for a looong time now and it's great to see how you've been able to evolve with the times. No doubt, you were offered oodles of moola to become part of some corporate behemoth but again, no doubt, you thought that owning your own content and having the freedom to make want you wanted was more important for your own happiness. Long may that continue. Sincerely, a wierdo :)
3ds laucnched in 2011? And DS is only 2004?! Gosh i feel like time is slow again, and feel the essense of youth flow back into my...well...back!! I thought the DS was a '93 or something :D
ngl, you guys filled the void in my media consumption as my interest in RT waned. but hearing that is was more of corporate being unpleasant, makes a lot of sense when compared to OLD RT and AH stuff. any whosit, keep doing you and we'll be here
@7:23 Yeah, a settlement isn't a setting of legal precedent because it never even got to trial. Also, nothing in this case would indicate that even if it did go to trial that any of its matters were in some here-to-fore unexplored area of infringement. So not only is this settlement not "technically" a precedent, there's no expectation that it could have set one, settlements cannot be cited as a legal argument, so therefore this has absolutely no legal bearing on any future litigation involving emulators. tl;dr Yuzu's settlement has no legal bearing on future lawsuits, that's not how precedents are set.
By "precedent" in this context Kathleen (or whoever wrote the piece) contrasts the concept of a legal precedent, with the colloquial meaning of a precedent (something that has happened before) that can be used to try to predict Nintendo's future actions regarding other emulation projects.

Yeah, apparently WB is getting ready to delist all of the Adult Swim games (of which there are a LOT), presumably for the same reason.
@7:23 Yeah, a settlement isn't a setting of legal precedent because it never even got to trial. Also, nothing in this case would indicate that even if it did go to trial that any of its matters were in some here-to-fore unexplored area of infringement. So not only is this settlement not "technically" a precedent, there's no expectation that it could have set one, settlements cannot be cited as a legal argument, so therefore this has absolutely no legal bearing on any future litigation involving emulators.
tl;dr Yuzu's settlement has no legal bearing on future lawsuits, that's not how precedents are set.
By "precedent" in this context Kathleen (or whoever wrote the piece) contrasts the concept of a legal precedent, with the colloquial meaning of a precedent (something that has happened before) that can be used to try to predict Nintendo's future actions regarding other emulation projects.

And now Discovery (as far as I can tell their corporate team took over WB so I blame them specifically) is delisting ALL Adult Swim published games
Hilarious and informative 👍🏻
Been watching since you were filming in a closet (it seemed), and ended each vid with Grahm wearing a different hat. Not stopping now!
Let them fight!
