2 Billion Views on YouTube!Whoa... that was fast. Less than a year ago we were celebrating reaching 1 billion views on YouTube, and now we've done it again. Today we crossed the 2 billion views mark on our main channel, youtube.com/RoosterTeeth . Simply unbelievable! Thanks to everyone who watches our videos and subscribes. And if you haven't yet heard, we're branching out. Those wily Achievement Hunter chaps have started a spiffy new YouTube channel that will be home to all our of Let's Plays. It's conveniently located at youtube.com/LetsPlay - so go subscribe to it right now!
You may or may not have noticed that we've launched a new channel on youtube today! It's our official Let's Play channel, and if you want to know why/what it's all about, you can watch this special announcement video.
We're very excited to create this new home for our Let's Plays, and hope that you will enjoy it too. Immediately, this means we're going to go to five videos a week! However, we have a lot of fun ideas we're planning on introducing through it, and we hope to get to more than five a week pretty soon. Please take the time to visit the page (http://www.youtube.com/letsplay) and subscribe. Once again, as of today, all of our Let's Plays will now be posted on the new channel, and not the Rooster Teeth one.
Of course, you could also just watch them via this amazing site you're reading this journal on right now as well!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments of this journal (and I'll do my best to answer them).

That's all for now- be on the lookout for RTX News in the coming weeks!
To celebrate our 10th Anniversary, the live stream RT Podcast for today (April 1) will be available for EVERYONE at 4 PM Central (5 PM Eastern, 2 PM Pacific)! Make sure you tune in to this special on-location podcast!
We recently held a contest for users to submit a video talking about their experience with Rooster Teeth, and what the last 10 years have meant to them. We received a ton of entries, and we all were so unbelievably moved. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories, wrote songs, made photo montages, or just said "thanks". Not going to lie, some *cough* manly tears may have been shed while watching your submissions. Make sure you check them out!
It's unbelievable to see where Rooster Teeth started on April 1, 2003, and where we are now. Red vs. Blue is coming up on its 11th Season, the community has grown to almost 1.5 million members, 4 Million subscribers on YouTube, and 1 million Likes on Facebook, and we've gone from a spare bedroom to a full-blown studio with over 30 full time employees. We've gone to events all around the world, met thousands of fans, hosted our own convention, won awards, and started many new shows and projects.
We can't say it enough- we wouldn't be here without you. Your support, loyalty and enthusiasm proves to us every day that we truly have the greatest fans in the world, and you're the reason we keep doing what we do. Thank you on behalf of everyone at Rooster Teeth. We will never stop saying it: WE LOVE YOU!
