I'm not really one for guessing so I didn't analyse every video and watch it over and over, I just kinda went along for the ride, but I was a little disappointed in the ending. Not on the killer/survivor or anything, just with how silly the last episode was. :( Still, I liked the series overall and hope it was successful so we'll see more stuff like it!

The holidays need to be over so I have more time to myself and can catch up on AH/LP videos though. ;_; I haven't watched a single thing from AH in over a month...

Dude you are so screwed, that's a lot of material you're going to have to catch up on lol.

El Héroe Oscuro January 22nd, 2015 1:11 PM

It's been awhile since anyone has posted anything RT/AH related, so what have you thought of a bunch of the material they have released?

Cherrim January 27th, 2015 2:47 PM

Duuuude I just watched Lindsay's heist and it was so good!

Spoiler:
I'm amazed at how successful it was and holy shit I was laughing so hard at the end of it when Michael had to keep stopping to pick up Gavin and Ryan to drive them alongside the train... and then when Ryan got taken out by the porta-potty LOL.


It was definitely my favourite of all the heists.

Monty has been hospitalized and is in serious condition. By the sound of Burnie's journal post, things aren't looking good.

Cherrim January 30th, 2015 7:09 PM

It's scary stuff... but I have to admit, the fact that they have a donation pool open with such a large amount makes me feel like he's probably going to pull through......? Like, they aren't giving any details and I totally respect that because privacy, especially in times like this, is important but... idk. To me it seems like they wouldn't have set such a large amount of $50k if it was for expected funeral costs or something, morbid as that sounds. So I'm hopeful that he'll be okay. :'( I hope I don't sound like an asshole for saying that. ._.

I hope we get a (positive!!) update soon, though. Monty always seemed like such a great guy and I'm not sure anyone else at RT was as dedicated to their work. I hope he can recover from whatever's happened and can go back to doing what he loves. :(

Aquacorde January 30th, 2015 9:40 PM

holy shit what even
oh my god
it really sounds very very bad and burnie doesnt seem to have a v positive outlook but oh my god i hope he pulls through

El Héroe Oscuro January 30th, 2015 10:37 PM

I just remember seeing burn in the Shape Up challenge just a few weeks ago and just hearing this totally shocked me. I remember the first time I had ever heard of him was not even from Rooster Teeth but from his work Haloid. Great early work of his if you've never heard of it.

The money ranged could be for medical bills - i.e emergency visit and operations - and funeral arrangements, so I wouldn't rule anything out yet.

Just in case no one has seen the entry yet

I really hope Monty is able to recover, he's so young and he is a great contribution to society :(

Really hope that he gets better soon! From what Burnie said and the fact that a donation drive has already opened up, this already sounds incredibly grim.

It's incredible seeing dedicated fans already raising 150k in just one day for Monty.

El Héroe Oscuro February 2nd, 2015 10:01 AM

I feel like things are going to be okay though. He's hanging through and we haven't really heard any kind of update, but I'd like to think that he's improving in one way or another.

Cherrim February 2nd, 2015 10:31 AM

Monty Oum has passed away. [edit: Mirror because this journal post crashed the RT site]

Shit... :( I'm kind of speechless. Everyone in the RT company is pretty young, so I never really considered that death was something I'd ever have to think about in regards to any of them. This really sucks. I hope everyone is coping well.

I think that's a beautiful message.

Monthy nooo Rest In Peace ;-;

The official statement made by Matt at Roosterteeth.
Spoiler:
Monty Oum has passed away
Our friend, inspiration and co-worker Monty Oum passed away yesterday afternoon at 4:34 PM surrounded by people who loved him very much. Ten days ago Monty suffered a severe allergic reaction during a simple medical procedure that left him in a coma. Although he fought bravely, his body was not able to recover. During his time in the hospital he was well cared for and never in pain at any time.

Monty is survived by his wife Sheena, his father Mony, his brothers Woody, Sey, Chivy and Neat, and his sisters Thea and Theary, as well as a countless number of fans and friends. We were so proud to be a part of his life and we will miss him greatly.

Your generosity during the hours after the public statement on Friday will help his family deal with the costs of his care and his passing. You made an incredible difference during a difficult time and we cannot thank you enough.

As for honoring Monty, we will do that in our own way. In lieu of flowers or gifts, we ask that you simply do something creative. Use your imagination to make the world a better place in any way that you can. If you know Monty like we do, then you know he would certainly be doing that if he were able to.

Monty was 33 years old.

We love you, Monty.

Rooster Teeth is hosting a live podcast in about 40 minutes if anyone is interested (you don't need to be a sponsor to watch this special edition.) Most likely they will be talking about Monty's life; here is a link if you want to watch it live.

Probably the worst day to join, but have been meaning to, so I'll go ahead by first saying rest easy Monty.

This came as a really big shock to me. I didn't know Monty as a person, but I loved his works of animation very dearly.

Rest in peace, Monty. We love you so much, and you were a person that inspired us with your devotion to your art. I feel I speak for all of the RT community when I say you touched our hearts, and will be dearly missed. Farewell.

Dry your eyes now baby
Broken wings won't hold you down
You'll take flight soon baby
You'll be lifted up
And you'll be there...

This one just made me break down and start crying when I saw it.

All of these dedicated pieces to Monty are hitting me in the feels ):

After seeing a lot of posts on Monty, this quote showed up (RvB), and I think it's quite appropriate now more than ever:

"Never say goodbye. If you don't say "goodbye," then you aren't really gone. You're...just not here right now."

El Héroe Oscuro February 4th, 2015 8:46 PM

Rooster Teeth just posted this a few hours ago... ):


Bidoof FTW April 1st, 2015 6:05 PM

Man, looking back on this after it seems to have faded away, I'm getting tears in my eyes again.. :/

I hope we can continue to keep this club alive, and with the start of season 13 of RvB maybe we can do it :D

I kind of fell out of the fandom as a whole after Monty passed tbh. I was just kind of... too sad to watch anything and fell into other fandoms to try and not be sad. :/ Also busy as hell too. I've seen the first few eps of RvB13 and I'm liking it so far though~

& hi baeridot welcome :D

aurevesque April 26th, 2015 9:08 PM

I think I'm still a member? Anyway, what does anyone think of all the expansion of Rooster Teeth? And RAY LEAVING? I can't say I'm comfortable with it and wish things would stay the same. But... no progress without change, i suppose...
