  • RT: Eight is great

    Hello! As you may have heard on the amazingly popular Drunk Tank podcast or from our convenient and well-written staff blog, Rooster Teeth kicks off its eighth anniversary celebration next week with the release of the Red vs Blue Season 9 trailer. This time around, we’re kicking it old school by going back to our traditional release method (and by using phrases like “old school”) — which means that Sponsors will be able to watch the trailer at Noon tomorrow and registered members of the site will get it on Sunday. Then, it goes out to the public on Monday and the entire world dies of an awesome overdose. We suggest that you start building up an awesome tolerance now by wearing tuxedos in public and saving orphans from burning buildings.

    Also, this week we will be having a Halo:Reach playdate on Tuesday, so bust out your gamertags and join us for some matches of Grifball and CTF on Blood Gulch. On Friday, we will be selling tickets for our first official gathering — Rooster Texas (RTX). There’s been some questions about age limits and other logistics, we’ll have a post about that later. Due to venue restrictions, anyone under 18 must also be accompanied by an adult.

    Or if Texas is too far away you can see Geoff and Griffon RIGHT NOW in Florida at MegaCon. They’re lonely and waiting for your call.

    And if you want to help out the people of Japan, be sure to check out 343’s awesome Ultimate Halo Experience to benefit quake victims. It’s an incredible package for a great cause.

  • AH: Brunt time!

    Geoff may be in Florida, but we would never miss out on a Fails of the Weak! Enjoy!

  • RT: Drunk Tank #106 and RTX info

    If you guys haven’t checked out our latest podcast you should totally go listen to it. You can stream it on that page, download it, or get it via iTunes. This week we have Michael from Achievement Hunter’s Rage Quit series sit in with us.

    I also wanted to take the time to flesh out some more details about our first ever community event, RTX, which will be taking place May 27th through 29th. This will be a small gathering of only 200 people who will spend the weekend bumming around Austin with us. I’m not ready to get too specific yet, but we have a kick off event planned for Friday evening, we rented out a couple screens Alamo Drafthouse for a few hours of screening and big screen gaming on Saturday, a studio tour and partying at the studio after the Drafthouse, and finally on Sunday you’ll have a chance to take part in a Rooster Teeth Production. To take part in the Sunday event you will have to fill out a release waiver for insurance purposes (its that awesome). We will be wrapped up by dusk on Sunday. We are working on securing a deal with a hotel and also securing transportation to haul everyone around Austin to the various events in case you need a ride. Tickets will be going on sale next Friday April 1st at 2PM Central time. Tickets will first be available to sponsors for an hour. If any tickets remain at 3PM we will open them up to everyone else. We will continue to update you guys with details as the date draws closer, but rest assured, we’re doing our best to fill the weekend with awesome events. We’ll keep you posted.
