Everybody Has it. U2 is taking over our itunes accounts. Be ready

Ah well lets see, where should I start. Well to begin, AH has six main members, these are the people who are mainly featured in all the videos released. Those members are Geoff Ramsey(co-founder of both Rooster Teeth and AH), Michael Jones(host of ‘Rage Quit’, a small on-going series released weekly from RT), Ryan Haywood(manager of ‘Fail’, another on-going series released via RT), Jack Pattillo(the first member of AH), Gavin Free(host of Slo-Mo Guys and director of RvB season 7) and Ray Narvaez Jr.(Community Hunter who became a full-time employee). More members would be Kdin(he edits most of the Lets Plays), Lindsay Jones(married to Michael, voice actor of Ruby from RWBY and editor), Caleb Denecour(host of Achievement Hunter Community) and Kerry Shawcross(also a director for RvB and a part of the RWBY writing team).

AH is basically a bunch of friends who get paid for being hilarious and playing video games while they do it. Most of their videos contain vulgar language, penis jokes, and inappropriate situations, so I wouldn’t recommend AH to anyone under 13(though I doubt they’d heed this warning). If you find humor with the following then AH is for you. But that’s not where the comedy stops, they equally mess with each other and peeve each other off, the reactions will make you laugh until you cry. Beside that, they sometimes comment on the latest news(around the time they recorded that video) and give their opinions. AH is a wonderful ‘place’ to come when you have a rough day and just want to laugh at something, guaranteed to make your day 10x better.

One of my favorite parts about AH is the variety. Not everyone in the office has the same humor settings and plays games the same, everyone’s different and unique. Whether it’s Mad King Ryan trapping cows in holes or Rose Ray yelling yolo as he lunges into battle. Gavin usually plays the role of the dimwit, despite him being intelligent though he has his moments(don’t we all). Geoff is the laid back tired one who probably spent all night mapping out the Let’s Play just for everyone to talk over him. Michael yells and is the most vulgar of the bunch, though it just adds to the comedy. Then there’s Jack, who’s “the ball of sunshine with a beard.” Lindsay also adds to the chaos, though most viewers dislike her for being, well a girl. Yes, sexism is alive and it’s in the comment section. But to be honest, without Lindsay to add more variety then AH just wouldn’t be as great.

As a newcomer, I recommend starting with the Minecraft Let’s Plays. One of AH’s first and longest going Let’s Play. It started early on so it lets the viewer begin to learn more and more about them as the series progresses, from learning how they play to their individual personalities. It’s also where most of the inside jokes and running gags come from, so if you start watching anything else you may not get most of the references. Once you get near the 90’s then you can start to branch out to the other Let’s Plays like the ones in GTA: V, Watch Dogs, and Worms(with other misc Let’s Plays the exception, they contain less old references but instead create new ones). Here’s the basic rundown of what you can watch and what that show contains(you can check the AH or RT YouTube ‘about me’ section for the schedule):

Rage Quit, hosted by Michael Jones, consists of Michael playing games requested by the audience until he has a stroke and, well, rage quits.

Achievement HUNT, everyone plays against each other in a vs. The first to 4 victories wins.

GO!, here Geoff comes up with all sorts of weird tasks for the boys to complete, first one who completes all of them wins that round and places a sticker on the board. The first to 5 wins a pizza party.

Fails of the Weak, punny, usually hosted by Geoff and Jack. This shows features Jack and Geoff viewing and commenting on fails sent in by community members from the game Halo.

AHWU, a great time to see everyone’s face(besides Go!) and to get a weekly update on what games will be released that week and game related news.

Let’s Build, here you can watch the Let’s Play stadiums in Minecraft come to life as Geoff and Gavin plan and execute ideas for new episodes. Even if it doesn’t sound interesting to watch, you can listen to Gavin and Geoff talk about the latest rumors and ask each other insane ‘would you rathers’.

Let’s Fail, usually a failed documentary of the boys attempting a ‘Things to do in..’.

Things to do in…, this is when the boys come up with insane trials for gamers to try when they beat the game and become bored with it.
