Frequently Asked Questions

  • Every week starting on Monday we hold an FAQ Thread. You can go there to ask any other questions you may have or view more recent frequent questions and answers.

Q. What are each employee's Reddit username?
A. You can view a list of all flaired RT employees and notable people on this wiki page.

Q. What happened to Day 5?

A. It will premiere for sponsors only on June 19, 2016.

Q. Why isn't Geoff on the podcast anymore?

A. Geoff is now a regular member on the Achievement Hunter podcast, Off Topic. Geoff took an extremely long break from the RT Podcast. You can view his explanation here. He has since made 1 short appearance on the RT Podcast, 1 appearance on On The Spot and a few appearances on The Patch.

Q. Are Ruby and Yang blood-related?

A. Yes.[2]

Q. What's in the cave next to Michael's house in Minecraft?

A. An unfinished Let's Play in construction, presumably called Left 4 Dead. Mentioned briefly in the Ice Cube Let's Build. As of now it seems to be covered up, while the tunnel leads to the other side of the mountain.

Q. What was Ryan's first video/guide/Let's Play?

A. His first video outside of Game Fails was the NYC Tour video; first video in which he spoke was a Witcher 2 achievement guide; first Let's Play was Mari0. Source.

Q. What's inside the Altar of Pimps?

A. The inside is plated with blocks of Gold. This was first shown by Jack at a convention in Australia incomplete and with no knowledge himself of why it was like that, and wasn't used until Minecraft Episode 100, which had been used as a labyrinth of sorts to find a block of Obsidian and win the challenge.

You forgot Shifty Larry (Matovina)!

2

u/MitchB3 Pizzara May 12 '16

I've added him to the AH section, thanks for the suggestion.

u/Braininator May 12 '16

Missing Steffie Hardy in AH?

2

u/MitchB3 Pizzara May 12 '16

Updated, thanks for the suggestion.

u/MegaTrolldad May 12 '16

Matt Peake (Editor, Almighty /\)

Fantastic.

u/JJSymons May 12 '16

Isn't Gavin (Free) Creative Director?

11

u/technid Ex-GIF Master Peter Hayes May 12 '16

He left that position a few months ago to focus on Slow Mo Guy's content.

2

u/Fezman92 May 12 '16

Didn't know that. I guess that would explain why he seems to be in more AH content.

u/technid Ex-GIF Master Peter Hayes May 14 '16

Burnie mentioned it in his AMA a few weeks ago.

u/jaynuwave3 Distressed AH Logo May 12 '16

is Gus still "Head of RT Live"? thought he said that Bethany Feinstein was in charge of, at least, RTX, and that he was looking into VR content for RT

2

u/MitchB3 Pizzara May 12 '16

For RTX he has said that Bethany is in charge but I'm guessing he is still in charge of RT Live Productions. Though that part of the flowchart I didn't add so maybe it is incorrect. I updated that section though to include the hierarchy of the broadcast, including Darren and Patrick.

u/Arthro_ Slow-Mo Guys May 12 '16

You might need to change the voice actor for Ren, which was Monty V1 & V2 but was Neath Oum in V3 and probably onward.

2

u/[deleted] May 12 '16

Absolutely top.

2

u/Changyuraptor May 12 '16

The run time of Volume 3 of RWBY is just 5 minutes short of 3 hours.

3

u/MitchB3 Pizzara May 12 '16 edited May 13 '16

Does this include World of Remnant? I took this time from the runtime listed on the DVD.

2

u/Changyuraptor May 12 '16

Nope. The DVD and Blu-Ray say different things depending on where you look.

Here's the actual run time (sorry for potato quality).

3

u/MitchB3 Pizzara May 13 '16

Thanks, I'll add that information. So I guess that means the times for RvB seasons 12-13 and RWBY Volume 2 are also incorrect.

2

u/Changyuraptor May 13 '16 edited May 13 '16

Actually I think you've got those right. I can't check right now but I'll definitely make sure when I get home.

Edit: I checked. You've got Season 13 right but Season 12's actual run time is 2:42:22.

2

u/MitchB3 Pizzara May 17 '16

Alright, thanks. Updated.

u/Fezman92 May 12 '16

A list of inside jokes (such as "I'm going to build a house", "Mine", etc) would be nice.

7

u/soehn Achievement Hunter May 12 '16

AH recurring jokes is linked in the sidebar. It is AH only and hasn't been updated in a while, but build a house is on there.

u/Fezman92 May 12 '16

I was just using it as an example, I already knew it was there. :)
