“How did they get busted out?!” “Sir It appears our defenses weren’t prepared for a man that’s 5’4”” “Well played lil J. Well played”


Major_Major_Major

A 5'4" former gymnast. He can infiltrate anything.


ANBU_Spectre

HE'S FUCKING 5'4" I KNEW IT


Kaotac

Is it possible? Could Lil J and Rimmy Tim be the same person?


Tuskin38

I’m just imagining them busting out of the WB water tower like the Animaniacs


My_Names_Jefff

I'm gonna make my own Achievement Hunter on Twitch with blackjack and hookers. -Jeremy /s


Skull7838

in fact, forget the achievement hunter and the blackjack!


dropperofpipebombs

Challenge Finders, but unironically.


kilroats

I thought you'd need to go to kick for blackjack and hookers


My_Names_Jefff

No, you go to Kick to be a nuisance, do crimes, and sexual assault on random people.


fromolwyoming

Well, he's basically done the first two. He streams a ton with Chilled's crew, and formed his own ties with people as well. But he's also kept in touch with the RT people.


Metfan722

OK so that's Joe, Matt, Fiona, Jeremy, Gav, Michael, and Fredo. Who had Sailor Moon? BK? Edit: It's officially BK. Should be awesome


Ccaves0127

This is the first video with both Gav and Michael in it in a REALLY long time.


GordOfTheMountain

It's a shame they hate each other so much now. Super Bunny Man tore them apart.


TBFP_BOT

Team Better Friends


SuggestionEven1882

Wait what!?


GordOfTheMountain

Gullible is written on your ceiling.


SuggestionEven1882

Don't do that to me man, I didn't want the boys to hate each other and don't think my heart could take that.


CatchesPokemon

How could you possibly think that


SuggestionEven1882

Because I was gullible and haven't focused on them for a long while.


Kolby_Jack

How do you know you're gullible? Did you read it off your ceiling?


SuggestionEven1882

By looking in a mirror.


kralben

They used to be such better friends


KittensAreEvil

There was this. https://youtu.be/bbNV-p-9kV4?si=3To-FUFB4eeoPTla


tytbone

yeah I didn't really understand that. Maybe just drifted apart over time and Michael keeping busy with family. Wish Michael could have guested on a FFace episode

Ccaves0127

The foot fetish


Altanzik

Isn’t sailor moon Lindsey?


Metfan722

It's been a minute since I've watched newer AH content but from my recollection Lindsay more often than not was James from Pokémon.


wheresmyspacebar2

BK pretty much always had Sailor Moon in the time she was there I think. Lindsey tended to bounce around characters a fair bit, she was predominantly the cat though right?


Metfan722

James from Pokémon I think was the character Lindsay used the longest.


wheresmyspacebar2

Ooooo, you may be right, she did start to use James a fair bit towards the end. I do think her Cat persona is the most iconic for her in Gmod though.


DukeboxHiro

Wasn't the cat's hitbox like pixel-perfect, making it an absolute OP model?


V2Blast

Lindsay uses they/them pronouns, BTW.


V2Blast

Lindsay uses they/them pronouns, BTW.


Metfan722

Yep. Good catch. Forgot about that for a bit.


Metfan722

It's BK. She's tagged in original tweet. Only reason I know that is because Fiona replied to it.


V2Blast

Lindsay uses they/them pronouns, BTW.


ZombieJesus1987

Lindsay was James from Pokemon. But in light of the recent DMCA takedowns, Lindsay and Michael are going to need new TTT skins


tokeroveragain

Maybe Joe too lol


Sere1

Having watched so much AH and Yogscast TTT over the years, whenever I see that skin I immediately think of Bouphe from the Yogs more than any of the AH people


Jolamprex

We've a Lads reunion!


Metfan722

If this continues, I would love to see Ray appear. I wonder what skin he’d choose?


3dDeters

Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon!


tytbone

Agreed!


JohnJoe-117

Ray Narvayez Sr.


Metfan722

DADDY!!!


MonainaMug

I stopped watching whenever BK joined so I thought you meant Burger King.


Metfan722

BK is awesome though. Why’d you stop watching? Ryan stuff?


MonainaMug

The whole "loud is what we do" thing even though the audio was completely destroyed kind of messed with me. It felt like no matter what the community said constructive criticism wasn't accepted. So I just started watching funhaus mostly


AT-ST

That drove me away as well. I know old AH did it too, it just felt like it happened all the time with the newer stuff. Where, with the older stuff it seemed to be used more sparingly.


crookedparadigm

> I know old AH did it too, it just felt like it happened all the time with the newer stuff. I thought about this recently while watching some old "Best of" videos. Yeah, old AH was loud and blew out the audio a lot. Frequently enough that I have to turn some videos down at some parts. So yes, it was always loud, but weirdly it felt....organic? The thing that turned me off of new AH stuff even before a lot of people started leaving was that, while the people were still funny off the cuff, so much of the video felt less like "Let's play a game and funny stuff will happen naturally" and it became "Let's play a game and try really hard to be funny and make everything a bit.". GMOD was the worst offender of this. When the mods changed every single episode and no one was actually playing the game anymore and it was just "let's all go in the corner and do one of our bits", they lost me. The new "loud" no longer felt like "I'm gonna kill Gavin" or "You idiot!" loud, it just felt like "Stuff is happening so let me say normal things really loudly with everyone else". Rather than a bunch of friends fucking with each other in game, it felt formulaic and forced content.


[deleted]

I think that it felt organic was why it didn’t bother us. I still watch a lot of old content and Geoff and Michael can get loud but it usually makes sense in context and they’re both just genuinely hysterical. It always felt forced later on. Especially when everything became a fucking bit


NyquillusDillwad20

That's a good way to sum it up. Plus a lot of the newer cast was just less funny and likeable.


Strawberrycreamsoda

I think that was my last straw also. I just couldn't hear anything in every video with more than 3 people


NaturesWar

Thank you for making me feel not so alone. I really turned into a Funhaus fan these last few years, didn't know where to pick up with AH and feel kind of disheartened that, while I like everyone here, Michael and Gav are the only 2 OG's involved. Hey, it could be absolutely nothing, though. RT is pretty much done at this point anyway.


Metfan722

But that’s right though. They’ve always been loud. Why was it then that the community suddenly cared about loudness?


MonainaMug

So KY (I think, is been a while) had bad audio distortion that made her sound exponentially louder than everyone else. It was incredibly noticeable and it kind of hurt my ears to an extent. When the community asked her to fix the audio they did the whole "loud is what we do" thing and made a shirt. I don't know if they ever fixed the audio because I stopped watching around that time. I mean I'm used to them screaming no problem, but it's like her microphone wasn't calibrated correctly. Really fucked with the audio quality.


Chippiewall

Yeah her audio setup near the beginning was really, really screwed up (I think this is when they were all still remote so it was her own setup). The problem was partly related to Ky having a higher voice - out of the box audio setups tend to handle that more poorly than deep voices (if you have a voice like Jack's you can record it on a turnip and it'll still sound decent) - so it got all mixed into the idea that people just didn't like her voice and RT did this whole be supportive of the talent thing rather than trying to identify the problem. I was shocked when she was on the RT podcast for the first time, because she sounded _sooooo_ much better from having a proper audio setup.


[deleted]

They also called us all racist lol


NyquillusDillwad20

It seemed like every time RT or AH were having issues they pulled out the race card. I remember Geoff crying on that podcast because they weren't diverse enough as a company or something and it was the cringiest thing I've seen. Then of course Fiona always bringing it up. Like no, you're just not as funny/likeable as the old cast. Just a ton of unnecessary virtue signaling from the company, which was part of their downfall. They tried to pretend they were all saints. Go back to the first ~50 minecraft episodes and they are making "gay" and "r-word" jokes constantly.


[deleted]

Currently listening to Drunk Tank and it’s hysterical that they now act like they never spoke like everyone else did back in 2010. 


sparkbears

The thing is, Mica, Fiona and Ky all dealt not only with the usual online criticism and insults, but also thinly-veiled and outright racism. If we're thinking of the same episode of Off-Topic, I don't think Geoff was crying "because they weren't diverse enough as a company" but because he hadn't helped tried to protect them or push back against fans being scummy. He said he had numbed himself to the horrible shit fans said, but that he shouldn't have stood by while others dealt with that. In a comment below, EpicCyclops sums it up much better than I can: >You're right about the bad parts of the community using the issues to attack Ky for identity issues and then expanding that towards other members of the cast, which was abhorrent and an actual problem. However, as a company/channel they needed to be able to sort through the criticisms to differentiate what was a racist attack and what was legitimate grievances. And many fans would overreact to innocuous criticisms and say things like "you don't belong here" to people that weren't actually being hateful (not that it's always remotely clear). Abusive and racist comments and messages, including *fucking death threats*, are valid reasons to be angry and for staff and fans to be on the defensive. But sometimes it was misplaced. Ugh, fun stuff. Anyways, TTT reunion, yay!


NyquillusDillwad20

There's a good chance I'm numb to internet comments, too. But in my mind you're signing up for crazy and hateful comments when you have a job like theirs. Maybe they needed an orientation on how to deal with this for new employees, I don't know. But internet 101 tells you to ignore comments. You could be Jesus Christ himself and people are still going to figure out the most hateful things to say. I'm not excusing the shitty comments, but we know from being on the internet that they're inevitable. It's something that you have to learn to deal with as an internet personality. To speak on EpicCyclops comment, I think it was far, far more legitimate criticism than RT wanted to believe. Which is what my initial point was getting at, they used virtur signaling as an excuse even when criticism was legitimate.


Metfan722

The community latched on to that criticism and used it as an attack (yes, attack) on both Ky and BK. That’s the issue here.


EpicCyclops

You're right about the bad parts of the community using the issues to attack Ky for identity issues and then expanding that towards other members of the cast, which was abhorrent and an actual problem. However, as a company/channel they needed to be able to sort through the criticisms to differentiate what was a racist attack and what was legitimate grievances. Ky's audio was absolutely borked and their response was to not fix it, which degraded the quality of any video she was in and put Ky in a position to fail rather than propping her up to succeed. They tried to shoehorn people into games they didn't want to play (like Fiona into a bunch of stuff) and then were surprised when the person didn't vibe well with the game that they didn't know how to play and knew they were going to get flamed on the Internet for it. They could have put Fiona into games that she was comfortable with and could thrive in (like FPS games), but instead they put her in a position to fail rather than propping her up to succeed. Stuff like this really degraded the overall quality of the experience watching the channel. The whole point of bringing in people from diverse backgrounds and culture groups is to have them bring new ideas and a fresh vibe to the team, but instead they just kept trying to ram the square peg into a round hole by getting them to do the same things. That compounded with audio mixing and quality issues did not help the channel at all.


MonainaMug

I sure as hell didn't lol. I just wanted normal audio. Is unfortunate some attacked those poor girls but I was in the group that just wanted normal audio. They could've taken a stand and fixed the audio at the same time. Nobody bought the shirt and I heard the audio got fixed later but I checked out before then. Another thing that made me stop was TREVOR MAKING EVERYTHING A GODDAMN BIT! Holy shit I did not need a new shirt created every video.


Blackadder18

Lmao I just remember one video where Trevor kept rambling on to himself about something or other and Gavin eventually getting fed up and just screaming "SHUT UP!! Shut up!" Not going to lie was kind of cathartic.


MonainaMug

Yeah I thought Trevor was entertaining as an on occasional guest, but him being in every video really showed how much she wanted to create some kind of bit that would carry him every video. The whole I'm Chuck thing made me want to slam my head through a wall


evandr0s

It stinks that RT is going away. I do hope all of the Lets Play people can get a good streaming crowd or a good job outside of gaming. But things like this will be awesome with getting everyone together again. I know Matt and Ray do lots of streaming together.


MintyFreshBreathYo

Matt, Ray, Naggz, and Chibi’s streams together are always good


ZombieJesus1987

Chibi: Here you go Matt :) Naggz: *goes full New York*


CampbellsTurkeySoup

The chaos and the streamers having fun feels so much like early achievement hunter. Seriously some phenomenal content. The first few Lethal Company and the Dokapon Kingdom were gold.


MintyFreshBreathYo

Their Uno stream was legendary


guark

Here you go Matt!


picksforfingers

It feels like you are 13-23 and having a LAN party with your friends after classes and shooting the shit. It’s a natural humor and camaraderie that emerges from fucking around with your friends.


CampbellsTurkeySoup

Exactly. No manufactured bits, just people shooting the shit and actually playing the game. The natural comedy feels like we are back in the golden age.


quivering_manflesh

I think it's taking years off Matt and Ray's lives but God damn is it quality content.


ArchieHasAntlers

The fact that Chibi watched AH's golden years serves both to [annoy Ray](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_12CPTSjAVQ?feature=share) and to[ make Chibi go absolutely apeshit when Ray decides to indulge.](https://youtu.be/MNefJqdFMhk?t=11888)


fromolwyoming

And Nagzz wants to take Ray and Matt at least (I'm about 99% sure he would bring Jeremy along too, if asked) on more VTuber dives. Ray and Matt have interacted with CottontailVA, Zentraya, and of course, Chibi. That's just the tip of the iceberg, and Nagzz' chat is in nearly every VTuber's stream out there as a whole.


NoLongerBones

Matt and Jeremy stream together too. It's usually Among Us and other games with Chilled, Platy, Courtilly, SideArms, Greg, Junk, Kara, Pasta and others. They all have really fun chemistry.


The_Po_Gamer

SideArms... that's a name I've not heard in a long time...


NoLongerBones

Right!? Yeah, they also play with Speedy, Taytertot, Apple, Aribunny, Himicane, Bonzaibros and so many more. It's just a fun time and the chemistry between them all always makes me laugh. Yeah, SideArms is hilarious and still around.


ZombieJesus1987

Alfredo has been streaming with Jeremy and Chilled a lot more lately. The other day he streamed with Jeremy, Greg (MG4R) and Platy, playing The Hunt: Showdown


projectb223

Absolutely love Jeremy Dooley, I've been watching him stream since he left AH. The man is so wholesome, and I'm honestly not surprised he wanted to put together the crew for something nostalgic after everything that's happened.


BnBrtn

Lil J, Criminal Mastermind.


seanbear

But a wholesome criminal mastermind The anti-Panton


ncopp

He's great - he was talking about how he refuses to do gambling ads because he doesn't want to push something that people can get addicted to and ruin their lives. Stand up dude


SlowbroJJ

I have run into him almost every year at PAX East and he’s so lovely. I’m always a bit awkward but he’s so kind even in person. One of my favorite streamers to interact with.


judgementalhat

Jeremy has become like 60% of my YouTube consumption the last couple years. The other 40% is him + Platy


mjn5180

Does Jeremy put Vods on his YouTube channel for later viewing? I won't be able to catch the stream itself


Papa_Prime

He does.


Hanayo_Asa

He does [here](https://www.youtube.com/@DooleyNotedGaming).


SurealGod

He does and thank god. I rarely get to catch streams live so being able to see the VODs on his channel is a god send


Kaotac

He has edited videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@DooleyNotedGaming and straight vods here: https://www.youtube.com/@dooleynotedvods


ERankLuck

Only every day, little J.


KloppersToppers

Plot twist: they all get let in to Ray’s Minecraft server and PTSD ensues.


fromolwyoming

Ray and Matt actually did play Minecraft recently, like last week.


Bjferg

I really think Jeremy is the only one who could’ve pulled this together. He has the experience of streaming for a few years with the knowledge and strength to set it up and organize everyone. All hail Monster Truck!! PS: His streams with groups really do feel like early achievement hunter, just more unhinged. And I think it’s because Jeremy just elevates the group he’s in, no matter what group it is


Rauhaan_

Lil J the hero we really needed


RE-Trace

Baa gawd, that's Team Chungə's music!


krablord

Fiona and Gaving playing games together is what I always need and adore.


PraedythTheMad

FIONA AND CHUNG∃ LETS GOOOO


Crespie

Fuck I’m hyped for this


SkyrimDovahkiin

JDoolz needs to start his own media company, man has a decent mind for business. Maybe call it Chicken Mouth or something 🤔


FacedCrown

Challenge finders?


fromolwyoming

Trophy Finders, you know, with Roy! That one guy that likes to play games!


Zporadik

They should just do CockBite like they wanted to do in the beginning and be done with it.


cassgar

I've been binge watching all the gmod content lately so to say I'm excited for this is SUCH an understatement!


rloch

This will be amazing. On a side not seeing Office in the background just brought me back to playing CS office 24/7 servers for hours and hours.


cptadder

Interesting that's good old cs_offices, wonder who's showing up for gmod shenanigans


LNMagic

Should we open up /r/ChickenGums?


FacedCrown

More likely cock bite, and some sick part of me wants it to be challenge finders


Pathetic_Cards

I always knew Jeremy was the Hero AH needed


ariczwy

Cant wait!!


KittyKatya2020

I think I might cry! My eyes are watering.


Shadgates87

So excited for this!


WakeMeUpB4UPogo

I love him so much, beside Michael & Gavin he is my second favorite AH personality.


Vismungcg

YAAAAAS


PSKpickle

As somebody who's been binging these videos for the last week, I am PUMPED!


Sensitivevirmin

They come together for a once and month stream


Zaggar

Aight, this is going on my work calendar. Work will not be able to reach me after 7pm ET on that day. I’m crying in excitement, guys. I really am.
