For whoever was looking for Lindsay putting Michael's MLP figures in Jello and calling him a faggot, it's in this video:

A lot of the older comp channels like this are going to have the old AH content that everyone craves. Even the "Young guys" like Jeremy are older than when Jack joined RT now (Jack joined at 28, Jeremy is 30). IIRC Fiona is the only AH talent under 30, and she's 24. Then there's a huge gap between her and the rest of the talent which is probably why she comes off as so annoying, most of us here aren't teenagers or in our mid 20's anymore either.

I remember Gavin saying he didn't know if he could hang out with Geoff anymore because he was in his 20's and Geoff almost 40, that conversation had to have happened 6 or 7 years ago.
You are the best person in the world. Thank you so much, finally I can rest.

I keep forgetting Michael used to be a brony. As has been said, he seemed so normal.

Also I wonder how much the OG AH crew are getting paid to keep sticking around after Ray proved they could go solo and be fine. Michael could probably leave, start uploading Rage Quits to his personal channel, and make more money through a patreon, but I don't think he's dumb enough to do that when he has two kids, with a planned third coming some day.

Do we have any indication of what sort of money any of them are making? I've always been curious about that
Also in regards to Michael bringing Rage Quit back full time, I don't think that will ever happen
He's in his mid-thirties now and has two kids, he probably just doesn't have the energy to pretend to be angry about shitty video games anymore

https://www.comparably.com/companies/rooster-teeth/salaries I remember looking at this a while back, not sure if it’s credible though.
 
AH seem to mostly drive cars in the 30-40k USD range if you want to use that as a barometer.

My guess would be sneaking into the low six figures as that’s similar to what Gamespot/Giant Bomb etc. paid their senior editors/producers.

God I've been watching these retards for over 13 years now (Mainly Let's Play/AH, never really gave a fuck about RT)
Unlike most incels, I started watching them when they were doing nothing but daily/bi-daily Achievement Guides, before AHWU existed, when the only reason I was watching, was not for the achievements, but the banter between Geoff and Jack (Especially Geoff's fuckin contagious laugh)
It's been interesting watching this whole roller coaster unfold. You can see it in their socialblade stats, the company isn't doing anywhere CLOSE to as good as it was performance-wise, even just two years ago. Their big-game (GTA and Minecraft) is a relic of what it used to be during the initial days of competitive Let's Plays that had some sort of goal (Tower of Pimps) or some sort of climax to look forward to. Now it's just 4-7 morons going on and on about current events (Which they used to do, but not to such a degree) and hoping something along the lines of "l0l so rand0m" happens to occur during the Let's Play.
Don't even get me started on that annoying neegro-with-a-mouth Fiona. It took me THREE YEARS just to get used to seeing Lindsay every second/third video. Her waste of space and inability to learn the games in any capacity, causing the Let's Play to de-rail with a "oH, yoU" reaction from everyone ruined MANY-A Let's Play.
She's just finally starting to learn TTT which is a fucking MIRACLE. Only took 3-4 years to finally understand a game.
I've been watching with rose colored glasses these last two years, but ever since Ryan got exposed (who used to be my fucking FAVORITE. Fuck you Ryan) causing me to take a three week hiatus, I just can't come back or look at their content with the same vision, and I struggle coming back. Just by seeing the graphs dip around the same time, I can see I'm probably not alone.

R.I.P the golden age of the AH Let's Play Team

And this is Geoff from one of his more recent clothing collections.
This is what almost a decade of severe alcohol addiction will do to just about anyone.
 
To complete the set this is what he looked like when deep in the throws of start-each-morning-with-a-quick-vomit-and-mug-of-neat-vodka-before-driving-to-work alcoholism.

Again, I'd like to point out that Geoffs existence screams "FOR FUCK SAKES, SOMEBODY STOP ME FROM CONSUMING ALCOHOL, IT'S KILLING ME", and all of his "friends" either ignored it or encouraged it because "haha, drunk geoff is fun"

Not sure what connects these two thoughts, especially since Lindsay was never a regular so much as a fill-in member of the B Team if they needed her, and she also wasn't exceptionally terrible at most games (that I can recall her playing). In any case, while I can (somewhat) understand the dislike for Fiona, I really don't get the problem with Lindsay. I always found her pretty funny and personable, and the guys seemed more laidback with her in their videos as opposed to some of their other cameos. Hell, she was funnier than Jack most of the time.

It's honestly kind of scary to think about; RT's work culture was such a college party/fraternity vibe in many ways, and the constant heavy drinking was pretty emblematic of that. The first time I remember thinking that Geoff had an actual drinking problem was a video (that I can't find) of him in an airport talking about going to the bar to get some "breakfast vodka" - if memory serves, this conversation was had at 9 am, and the video itself is probably from somewhere between 2010-2013.

So not only was Geoff not getting help for what was presumably already a problem by the time of this rather unfortunate "Real Life Achievements" video, but the nature of his work actually necessitated that he make that problem WORSE - and now, ten years later, we have video after video of Geoff drinking to do something basic or having to drink for something work-related until he started working on his sobriety. This Immersion video is a pretty good example of that; I don't think it's stated when they began drinking in the video, but they were drinking until 4 am, and resumed drinking while filming the episode an hour and change later, so we can guess it had probably been several hours of just drinking.

In fairness, I'm sure their reactions are a bit played up or falsified, but I always found it interesting that the significantly less personable Gus seems to be much less upset about the circumstances than Geoff does, whereas Geoff looks visibly irritated throughout the video, curses under his breath a few times, and is the only one to actually get sick between the two of them.

His drinking problem is one of the most well-documented facets of behind-the-scenes RT life, and both fans and RT employees alike were too busy laughing at his goofy antics to see that, left to his own devices, there was a non-zero chance he'd end up drinking himself to death. It's pretty insane that he was left unchecked for so long, to the point that it caused such lasting damage.

But hey, at least the video gave us this really great shot of Geoff looking miserable after being given a slice of pie!

I really don't get the problem with Lindsay
Lindsay is often annoying and unfunny (also fat), I like her well enough I guess but I can see why people dislike her. Not to mention the fact that she sucks at vidya (YASSSS CHAOS QWEEEN XDXDXD) which is not fun to watch. She's certainly nowhere near as bad as Fiona though.

Also this is only tangentially related but occasionally during Let's Plays when frustrated with whatever game she is playing Lindsey will exclaim "fuck my ass!" (like Michael does sometimes) and I always find it so jarring for some reason

And then there's the part where people do not like her as the voice of Ruby Rose.

Exactly. Imagine having friends who watched you self destruct and didn't step in or say anything about it because it was funny and created content and thus money for the company.

It's one thing for Gavin/Michael/Jeremy (What am I talking about Jeremy IS Geoff) to not say shit, but Gus, Burnie and Matt to just shrug and go on spending that dough.

I don't know what the problem is with people hating Lindsey there is nothing as funny as watching her take a stack of resources the group worked most of the video acquiring and completely waste them.... the fact she's so fucking stupid to have done it more than once is what gets me. She doesn't learn shit....

Breaking news 10 years is a long time. 45 year old looks 45.
Not that this is even a fair comparison though. The before picture is shit quality with him making no expression and is clean shaven. The second is far higher quality, he's expressive = forehead wrinkles (which everyone has) and he has a beard, so of course he looks older.

In ten years, yeah there's some expectation of changes, however, Geoff doesn't look like 35 going on 45, he looks like 35 going on 55. Also, potato quality doesn't change a whole lot, the dude still looks ragged as hell.

If it were for a lack of grey hair, I'd assume the time gap between the two pictures was 20+ years, not 10.
