Rooster Teeth leaves the upload slot empty, not the studio joke
With no new videos, the channel added nearly a quarter-million views across a catalog spanning animation, Halo and its return teaser.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Homecoming
No new uploads arrived. Rooster Teeth's week instead brought nearly a quarter-million views to its existing catalog, with subscribers unchanged and daily viewing a little below its usual pace.
"Homecoming" remains the most active of its older uploads. The teaser turns a return to the studio into a practical problem: a man lets himself into the building, asks why the lights are off and announces, "I'm back from getting milk." The lights reveal an empty warehouse. An "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT" graphic supplies the final message. It is a staged return announcement, not footage of an ordinary day at work, and it has now passed a million views.
The other continuing threads are distinctly Rooster Teeth. "RTAA Violent Gaming" animates Burnie Burns's insistence on playing the games he wants to play, using audio credited to Morning Somewhere. Meanwhile, "Rooster Teeth Founders Play Halo For The Last Time…" brings Burns, Matt Hullum, Geoff Ramsey and Gus Sorola together for a farewell gaming session.
That Halo connection reaches further back than the farewell title: Rooster Teeth built Red vs. Blue using the game's armored characters as an unlikely comedy ensemble. Its catalog still gives that history room, from Tex's action sequence to the very different frustrations of "Rage Quit - Surgeon Simulator 2013 | Rooster Teeth."
