[@Ares-5933]

If we did a time lapse of Jeremy's hair over the last year it would look like someone customizing a character in a video game

[@Ares-5933]

Not A Ricer you could probably make one from stills from previous off topics, but I don't know if that exists

[@andersonneil2293]

Ares5933 did you not see the off topic where they keyed his hair like a green screen and changed it to a bunch of different colora

[@mixmasterfestus8096]

not a ricer assume you drive a honda lol

[@TranquilEaster]

which one?

[@Ares-5933]

Neil Anderson I did but they didn't do the rimmy Tim colors

[@barneyisbaked9498]

Geoff's looking a lot better lately. Not to mention sounding better in Let's Plays. Proud of you dude, keep it up.

[@bendefusco8706]

Has hasn't drank for around 110 days, it's a huge step up or him.

[@hazel2718]

Barney thanks

[@LancasterResponding]

Except his eyebrows. Where did they go?

[@AdanTheGreat408]

great moves, proud of you

[@Toquenitup]

Geoff- "we are very good at what we do" Geoff *wearing a shirt saying 'Make Mistakes'*

[@connar292]

Props to Michael for just telling his shitting his pants story with no embarrassment whatsoever.

[@TheEracode]

Adaptive FX well he has a medical problem so it's more understandable

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

43:10 Left for dead has a vs mode. You could have players VS zombies.

[@UponThisAltar]

WizardOf Even more fun than that, they should do it in the same style as how Criken did his Coliseum series.

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

I don't know how that is, so I cant properly reply.

[@UponThisAltar]

WizardOf Just look up Criken's Coliseum and watch his Left for Dead 2 episodes. He just started doing the same thing in ARK a while back. More or less his subs controlled how many zombies were spawned at a time.

[@chaseteel251]

theeshyguy1 interestingly enough, they do discuss KZbin comments.

[@musa4539]

that includes you

[@SirBrandan]

theeshyguy1 lol this is one of the only comments I laugh too

[@theeshyguy]

Musa.Joker Truly a biting retort. I don't know how I'll be able to sleep tonight after being burned that badly.

[@ShikyoSendo89]

I kind of want to see a 7 Days to Die series, like how they are describing. Have the Achievement Hunters build a base, Fun Hause build their own, and so on. That way its a multi-group thing, with a common goal; survive. But they go on raids to steal from the other groups, if their supplies are low, and go into all out war. Or, knowing the Achievement Hunters, they turn into full on Fallout Raiders and only survive by stealing from the other groups. No one knows where the other base is, so they have to go searching for them as well; leaving their base unprotected. Sounds fun to me.

[@plzwork33]

7 days is a good choice, but on a previous off topic, they (mainly ryan) mentioned the game is likely getting an update soon, and will break all old saved maps.. I got the game, so it's gonna suck to start over, but that is likely the reason they don't play that game too often. At least sky factory has revived minecraft.

[@AlohaChips]

I like that idea. Honestly I hope after the update they will start over but do more with it, even if they just treat it more like a Minecraft or a GTA -- get somebody in there to do some creative building outside of regular vids, mess with game settings, and set up in-game missions/goals/minigames.

[@SaammBaamm]

I love hearing stories about Geoff and Millie and I love when Griffon is on any of the podcasts. At this point I would probably pay money to see a Ramsey reality show.

[@eumegeud]

not even 2 hours long?? what is this? The RT Podcast??

[@MainGoldDragon]

I know right !

I empathize with Jeremy so much T.T Had the same blank look on my face and didn't recognize a single person they mentioned/references for a good 30 minutes....but I powered through to support

[@duckquack6838]

[@HuskyWolf21]

Jeremy's hair is always a joy.

[@theswingingdoor2157]

This comment has aged well 😂

[@Selenielka]

Jeremy's hair looks fucking awesome

[@theswingingdoor2157]

Selenielka no

[@pedrum23]

jeremys rimmy tim hair is OP as fuck

[@MrStelmacki]

This comment is a great example of some of the dumb shit millennials say.

[@justindeleon1010]

pretty sure that's not a correct use of 'OP'

[@feliciacornet5814]

Left for Dead is the shit, fuck yes do more

[@wiredjerk]

Still waiting for a company wide sporting league they mentioned maybe trying after the AH Hockey League.

[@kevinarias6843]

First Trevor and now Jeremy. If Jack doesn't dye his beard we riot.

[@loonylenny]

Kevin Arias what the fuck did he do to his hair?

[@RyanButenhoff]

rimmy tim colors boy

[@tayakamcaf6583]

Kevin Arias I didn't realise Jeremy was such a Blue Mountain State fan. I love the orange and blue.

[@kiltman1012]

what the fuck do you mean first trevor. jeremy has dyed his hair many different colors

[@tuxedomask7892]

Kevin Arias Jeremy had dyed his hair several times before, he stopped because he didn't want to completely kill his hair like he was.

[@JamesPBrown1]

Every time I play games with my close gaming friends I constantly think about how I could never make great game content. I can either be funny and bad at the game or great at the game but not chat and be entertaining. I've always praised rooster teeth and have only watched AH for about 2 years and honestly have spent a majority of my time off work when I'm at home catching up on all your videos. It's crazy seeing 5+ years of your (at least AH) lives change in such a short time for me. Thanks for clocking in early and probably staying too late to make the fans happy!

[@terrorofdeath3280]

Damn! They got Rimmy Tim for Off Topic?! I love Lil J's hair. XD

[@kylemoller1272]

Geoff looks great! good for him

[@shadowofthestars]

"you know who wasn't that group? Broadcast.. those guys suck." video immediately cuts to black, waits 2 seconds, and ad roll starts... timing was magical

[@isabellahurley6552]

When Ryan explained how his 4th of July went I couldn't stop laughing 😂 (somewhere around 25:00)

[@matisslapins2396]

play the 'versus' mode in Left 4 dead 2. that way you have a 4v4 competition

[@LexBear]

Jeremy looking like a can of Irn Bru

[@chubomikz7104]

40:37 I feel like Michael was about to ask "Who's Vanoss?" until everyone else took the conversation completely away from that and he was just never able to continue the thought. It makes you wonder "how many videos were possibly prevented from existing in that moment?" The odds of crossovers would have been very slim anyway, but it would have been there at all had they all gotten the low-down on him.

[@3Speedboy]

Jeremy with the Auburn colors, Geoff is firing him as we speak

[@lcephoenix]

The "pecan" discussion felt oddly familiar and turns out, it came up before already in the Halo 5: Guardians - Co-op Part 12 - FINALE video (at 50:11) and Ryan even made a similar comment - about peekin' through a window :D Little fun fact and such. ~

[@fourty2nd]

WHAT'S AN ICE PHOENIX THO

[@fourty2nd]

Didn't mean the caps, I'm not that interested

[@lcephoenix]

+49th Nothing in particular, just something I (and obviously other people before me) made up. Then again, it's as real as a usual phoenix. :D

[@fourty2nd]

Are you as edgy as your profile picture?

[@lcephoenix]

+49th That's me anyway, so I guess, haha.

[@Chelle_Vibes]

Glad to see Jeremy has finally embraced his love of the Denver Broncos

[@jacobgoodnight8716]

Michael Berger o fuck yah

[@deepsneakers177]

Denver Broncos are purple and orange?

[@awakenedgoat4488]

L4D2 in Versus or Scavenge mode would easily be an incredible video to watch. Whether it be AH vs Funhaus or having members of each channel on a single team I'm sure that millions of fans would watch it and have a great time. Another bonus of this idea is that you don't need the complete cast and crew of any single channel, four people on each team means you only need eight people total. Simply put; awesome idea Geoff, I hope it gets off the ground!

[@glendelsantiago9744]

Haha the Gavin part about him being right reminds me of the Pubert moment

[@tayakamcaf6583]

Geoff should remake his shirt design to have it say: Make mistakes, not children.

[@thepatrioticspartan5854]

Soulless Ellipses from a certain prospective kids can be mistakes.

[@tayakamcaf6583]

Andrew Kijonka That's exactly my meaning. :)

[@thepatrioticspartan5854]

Soulless Ellipses lol oh! 😯

[@bryerlemke2164]

54:03 "Blitz is really good" ~Geoff 2017 With almost 1k hours in R6S, can confirm Blitz is really, not good. At all

[@halo7oo]

With about 1k hours on R6 I can tell you Blitz is a good character if you are good with him, It's the same with Tachanka and Recruit

[@bryerlemke2164]

Yeeeaaaaaaa, no. If he's pushing you just continously tap-fire his arm. He's completely useless against anyone with more than 20 hours

[@ItsAMe11]

I would love to see all of those let's play ideas. It's amazing seeing all the let's play family together in a video

[@102caboose]

You guys should absolutely do a Left 4 Dead series, that would be awesome!! And with the sequel there are a ton of different modes, campaign, mutations, versus, realism and survival.

[@jonesclarke3349]

20:33 Shouldn't it actually be "Gavin and me"? Cause you wouldn't say "I interviewing him for an hour".

[@daegzy3031]

Jones Clarke I thought that, then I thought, eh, who gives a fuck.

[@ElTurbo1077]

Jones Clarke Yeah, it's an over correction that comes from a grammar prescription that tends to turn things into being not grammatically correct. "...me and Gavin" is correct.

[@CyanSpartan3388]

* chanting * LEFT 4 DEAD! LEFT 4 DEAD! LEFT 4 DEAD!

[@Avenger3377]

6:36, hunting at a Ryan and Jeremy immersion

[@TrinityDestroyer]

The way I remember playing with pogs: You and whoever you are playing against have the pogs, and a slammer. You lay the pogs face down on the ground (not stacked, and you could do 1 or more at a time). You have to use the slammer to flip your pog, and after you flip your own pog, if your opponent(s) haven't flipped their pog(s) yet, you can try to flip it. When you flip an opponents pog, you got to keep it. Also there were 3 kinds of pogs that I grew up with. We had paper ones, plastic ones, and metal ones. The metal ones were the most popular. I started with 2 pogs my friend gave me, and acquired dozens more from winning them from my schoolmates.

[@alldayagain]

20:38 Actually, it would be "Gavin and me"

[@zurichRevolts]

checking the comments to see if anybody else wants to call jack out for the 'gavin and i' thing

[@Edward-Not-Elric]

I'm sure I did a year ago but rewatching it now I did it again lol. That's my biggest grammar pet peeve.

[@cflisthebest]

Props to mentioning CANADIAN COMEDY! SCTV. right on!

[@BelikemikeDawg]

I love listening to these guys when I'm on road trips

[@jimmykicksass123]

Left for dead versus with the letsplay family would be amazing

[@waylander_90]

just went outside for a cigarette as it got to jack saying 'really? its 2017 and you're still smoking?'... goddamnit haha, but yes, i am

[@kayladevree7052]

i was at rtx during this. i saw off topic live today sunday july 9th 2017. it was only 3 days but I have enough memories to last a lifetime. thanks again AH for changing my life and helping me out of depression.

[@Steven-rb7ph]

Whattt?!? Jeremy is Rimmy Tim?

[@alldayagain]

Steven what? no, he's Jerimmy Tim

[@AVsDproductions]

No he is just a really good cos player

[@peasantlypokerish1545]

Jeremy I for one love your hair.

[@bigboychris446]

aplatformer I only like it because it's the Rimmy Tim colors, all the other times it just seemed dumb but this makes sense with RTX coming up

[@billstone5884]

Cause it's Rimmy Fucking Tim

[@strelka545]

"who would buy a 2 ft tall fuck doll?!?!?" *Vatican church sweats nervously*

[@badbadplatypus2952]

I love how they now have a paper towel dispenser on set for their inevitable messes

[@bljy853]

1. Nice fucking hair Jeremy, I honestly think it looks great on you. 2. YES, a Left 4 Dead series would be so good. 3. The idea of buying an xbox because it works out of the box and when it doesn't you can just buy another also applies to PCs, but PCs are more expensive because of the extra utility they have. And the only reason the "build your own PC" culture is a thing is because it means you can build one more specialized to your liking. That being said, if you could legally customize an xbox with whatever parts, just like a PC, then the DIY culture would carry over to consoles as well. It's just the nature of the market.

[@zebra486]

Achievement hunter's birthday's July 28? Get ready for that Emoji Movie present ;)

[@Azuzu27]

This episode really spoke to me as a person who has never set up a server before for mine craft sky factory, tried to do so while listening to this in the background, over 3 hours of trying to set it up just thinking. " I never had this trouble with a console". Very uncanny

[@Variocom]

Omg I LOVED that animal face off show Jeremy was talking about!

[@ecogeek234]

Anyone want to link to the Suptic video Geoff was talking about, for the lazy?

[@briannanicolio]

If they did the left for dead thing, that would be great. I'd definitely watch that.

[@colonelfoxhound]

Michael Ian Black was on an episode of Guest Grumps. AH is in tight with the Grumps. Make a few calls and see what happens.

[@TheOzzieNerd]

Definitely would be on board for a rotating cast on Left 4 Dead 1/2. Sounds like a brilliant idea ESPECIALLY if you are playing the versus mode. Nothing more terrifying in that game than knowing the hunter's screaming around the map are actually intelligent people and double for all the sneaky traps that other zombies can pull off!

[@kerry0010]

20:35 JACK YOU GOT IT FUCKING WRONG. Don't correct other people, if your correction is incorrect. Geoff was right saying 'me and gavin interviewing him' take out gavin 'it was me interviewing him' not 'i interviewing him'

[@virusbomb413]

20:35 No Jack it would be "me and Gavin" there not "Gavin and I"

[@Edward-Not-Elric]

20:34 I don't know if Jack was making a joke but Geoff was totally grammatically correct and Jack was wrong. "I interviewing him" isn't correct so neither is "Gavin and I interviewing him" The correct grammar would be "Gavin and me" or "Me and Gavin"

[@hunterglore3386]

53:34 I can vouch for the Montaigne thing, I've done that before that exact thing happened to me. Montaigne can be very impressive.

[@smoothdaddy3889]

What's the Steven Suptic video Geoff was talking about? The one with the phone call between Steven and Geoff.

[@IFireseekerI]

StevenSuptic 'It's our money and we want it now.' at 5:43 You're welcome :)

[@smoothdaddy3889]

IFireseekerI you are my hero

[@stingingpuppy3043]

Jeremy's hair is our high schools team colors

[@chaoticnachos380]

or Clempson U's

[@Redflametrow]

42:00 The answer to Geoff's question is Minecraft with mods. Basically would need to invest in a private server for the community. Then you have groups work on different projects by themselves on the server when people are available. With certain mods there are like boss raids that could be done like Orespawn. So basically throughout the series each group of the Roosterteeth Family could be working on tasks to either help towards a common goal or compete against each other. All the videos could be combined into a chronological playlist so that people can see what happened when and separated out to the individual levels. Other playmodes could be allowed as well including but not limited to Hunger Games, team hunger games, Tower of Pimp challenges XL, and so on. The whole thing could easily be done in seasons so it could be reset. Maybe teams get eliminated or voted off through something like Survivor. The best thing is that it could be done over years if it took time for this to work. This could pretty easily be 10 years of content that comes out once a month or so. It's pretty simple yet should accomplish what you want. Minecraft has been done before. If you want something else, Civilization could be pretty interesting. Any form of tournament done amongst the offices could be great. Have individuals or teams compete in a sports, shooting, racing, fighting, or another game. Have some clause like the others must refer to the winners as something like "the champions _________" until the next tournament takes place. Could even make training videos at that. Could even call it "Let's Compete". There's of course MMOs that you might be able to do things on. Like who can reach the highest level by the certain date, create the largest clan, have a pvp battle, have a clan battle, check net worth, etc. With MMOs would be good to limit them as watching other people grind isn't great. imo. Of course you could create an inter-office Nuzlocke Challenge in Pokemon where you all have to complete a pokemon game as a nuzlocke then either set a level cap or time limit. With those teams battle it out against each other to see who is the champion. The problem with that is you'd have to do in person or find a version compatible to do that like the modern games with online. Then recording would be a challenge. Those are the ideas I came up with while playing another game in the next window. Let me know if they sound good or not as I can think of more games and more twists to make it accessible to larger groups even if you can't all play at the same time of day. I know I can't use these ideas any time soon myself, so it'd be good to see someone get use out of my brain.

[@zellda2686]

Love what you have done with your hair Jeremy!

[@emanymton713]

Due to the fact i have never been able to skip a planet of the apes trailer on any video i try to watch, and see it about 8 times per video, i am absolutely never seeing the latest planet of the apes movie.

[@ZedKingsley]

Look at good guy Geoff, coming in while he's on sabbatical. Good for him

[@insertsnappycomeback]

Left for dead vs or coop let's plays would be such an amazing way to get the let's play family involved in constant collaboration! I can't wait to hopefully watch it!

[@aidansalmon2273]

My birthday is the same as AH!!!!!!! 29:20

[@zephyrzero7910]

20:35 Isn't Jack wrong here with that grammar correction?

[@lancefisher8358]

yes

[@TheEngrishboy]

Jack tries to convince everyone that there's no way to get good at siege. I like how Geoff basically says speak for yourself and tells him why it's just him.

[@TheGrimSymphony]

18:38 & 1:07:24 good Geoff laughs to look at.

[@Lucatoire]

Lil J going for Rimmy Tim colours for RTX eh...

[@curtiswilkins3290]

i love when jeremy is on Off Topic. when he just sits there quietly 'cuz he has no idea what anyone is talking about

[@MrStelmacki]

Like Lindsey.

[@JamesPBrown1]

But when it comes to AH before he worked there he knows all the trivia! Also, I disagree with what you said only because I know how smart he is but I think he just has a hard time interrupting others or squeezing in.

[@Dylanthediggerofoo]

if they wanna go with that concept for left for dead, they could always bring in a competitive edge by playing versus and having two teams of four and removing the ai from the equation

[@sandiled]

Jeremy pronouncing it 'vuvu-ZAY-la' is both giving me life and killing me at the same time

[@JordoSleet]
