Hotels and RWBYWe're under 6 months away from RTX 2013! We are happy to announce that starting January 29th, we will have Hotel discounts available in our "hotels" section on RTXevent.com! We have a ton of awesome deals at hotels close to the convention center!
Our second big announcement is that the first episode of our upcoming new series, RWBY, will premiere at RTX 2013! We'll have more information in the coming months.
RWBY RWBY RWBYDo you need an excuse to go to RTX? Well, you shouldn't. Seriously.
But in case you do, we've got another great reason for you to go. In this week's Rooster Teeth Podcast we announced that we will be officially debuting the first episode of RWBY live at RTX! We're all very excited for you guys to check it out, almost as excited as we think (hope) you all will be to see it. So, join us, won't you!
And if that wasn't enough RWBY, we also announced that the "W" trailer will be out…soon. And not even bad soon where we're trying to be vague, we mean actual soon.
Panel Submissions are now OPEN! Have a panel you'd like to host at RTX 2013? This is the page for you. Please note: this is not a form for panel ideas, it is only for those of you who have a completed, solidified panel.
And if you haven't bought your ticket yet, you can head on over to the Registration page! See you in 6 months!
What games for eSports arena? #RTX2013Hey everyone! So we've begun looking at games to play on the eSports arena for RTX 2013. Comment on this post with what game(s) you would like to see and or play at RTX2013.
Remember these should be competitive games. They should be both fun to play, and to watch. :)
Tickets and GuardiansThank you to everyone who applied to be a Guardian for RTX 2013. We received 1200 applications- crazy! We've notified all selected Guardians via email, so if you did not receive an email (check your junkmail in case), you unfortunately were not selected for this year's event. We appreciate everyone who took the time to apply, and hope you will still be able to make it to the event!
Speaking of the event.. the time has come: Tickets for RTX 2013 go on sale TOMORROW at 1 PM Central! We hope you are able to make it to Austin this summer- we'd all love to see you.
My Rooster Teeth Top Ten for 2012As 2012 comes to a close, I wanted to thank everyone that works at Rooster Teeth for the amazing job they have done this year. It was a year of enormous growth, incredible milestones, and unexpected triumphs for us, and we couldn't have done it without such a hardworking and dedicated team. So, in acknowledgement of everything that the RT crew has done, here is my top ten list for the year:
#10. Red vs. Blue Season 10 - I was pretty sure we wouldn't all survive this one, but I wasn't sure if it would be me, Kathleen, Monty, Ryan, Miles or Kerry to drop first. Somehow we all made it. Everyone poured their heart out making our most ambitious season ever and I couldn't be mo...
My Rooster Teeth Top Ten for 2012As 2012 comes to a close, I wanted to thank everyone that works at Rooster Teeth for the amazing job they have done this year. It was a year of enormous growth, incredible milestones, and unexpected triumphs for us, and we couldn't have done it without such a hardworking and dedicated team. So, in acknowledgement of everything that the RT crew has done, here is my top ten list for the year:
#10. Red vs. Blue Season 10 - I was pretty sure we wouldn't all survive this one, but I wasn't sure if it would be me, Kathleen, Monty, Ryan, Miles or Kerry to drop first. Somehow we all made it. Everyone poured their heart out making our most ambitious season ever and I couldn't be more proud of the results.
#9. One Billion Views on YouTube - It might now only equal one music video from PSY, but we thought it was pretty incredible. Two billion is already in our sights. Suck on that, Gangnam Style.
#8. RVBX: Ten Years of Red vs. Blue Box Set - We were absolutely sure there was no possible way we could complete this and Season 10 in the same year, so in classic RT style we did it anyway. Working on it brought back a lot of memories. We gave it all our all and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.
#7. The Gauntlet - One of my favorite things about Rooster Teeth is that we never stop trying new things, even when they are incredibly difficult. The Gauntlet was our biggest live-action production to date, and I loved that we were able to make this with members of our community. Congratulations to all the contestants and particularly our final four, it was awesome getting to know you and watch you compete. And special thanks to Brandon for making this show happen. Get some sleep, you earned it.
#6. The Rooster Teeth Video Podcast - After a lot of deliberation and debate over how to pull this off, we pretty much said fuck it and just decided to go for it. Thank you to all our sponsors for making it possible, we hope you are loving it.
#5. The Day 5 shoot - It was almost an afterthought with everything that was happening with RTX, but this deserves to be mentioned as the most audacious live-action shoot we've ever done. Over a thousand people in the middle of downtown Austin all moving in exact synchronization - how the hell did we manage this?! I can't wait for the finished series to debut.
#4. RWBY - If you thought you knew what Monty, Shane and our animation team were capable of after seeing RvB Season 10, you have a lot to learn. Classes begin in 2013.
#3. Achievement Hunter releases Horse #100 and leads us to our biggest month of YouTube views ever - November 2012 was a pretty spectacular month for us. We started off by releasing RVBX, the Season 10 DVD, the 200th episode of Red vs. Blue and the 100th episode of Horse within 24 hours of the release of Halo 4. The Achievement Hunter team went on to make an insane amount of great content over the next few weeks, propelling us to over 94 million views on YouTube in just one month! They might seem like they are just goofing around, but Geoff, Jack, Gavin, Michael, Ray and Ryan are about the most dedicated guys you'll ever meet.
#2. A Simple Walk Into Mordor - When Kerry pitched me this idea I thought it was crazy… in the best way possible. I can't believe he, Chris and Nick actually made it, and they still have all their toes (mostly)!
And finally...
#1. RTX - I think more than anything this event sums up what Rooster Teeth is all about. Our slogan is "Where Gaming meets the Internet," but equally important to us is that RTX is where the community, fans and staff of Rooster Teeth all come together. I have never been more nervous about anything in my life, but our 2012 event turned out to be more than we could have ever hoped for. From the awesome eSports stage to all the fantastic panels to the incredible concert, this was one hell of a show. Thank you to the RTX team, our freaking bad ass Guardians, and the entire RT community for making it such a success. Let's do it again in 2013!
So that was our year. I have a lot of runners up including the Best of RvB DVD, our music, Animated Adventures, the big store upgrade and merch improvements, tons of website fixes and enhancements (no regular Monday crashes!), and other stuff nobody would even know about (we made huge improvements in accounting!). Thanks again to everyone at RT for being total kick ass take-no-prisoners rock stars.

The most obvious change is the way our merchandise appears. We love the new layout, and we think it adds a unique and fun look to the store. You can choose to view products in the grid format or the list format, depending on how you like to roll. All the tabs have moved from the top of the page over to the left-hand side, and they expand to show you the various item types within the categories.

Reviews and Questions
We've changed "comments" to "reviews" and "questions". When you review a product, you can give it a star rating, and let us know what you think! Feel free to go back to products you've purchased in the past and add your reviews for those, too. The "questions" section.. well, is for questions. Want to know details about sizing, material, or if something is available in a women's cut? Ask it there, and we'll respond. Adding both reviews and questions in replacement for comments makes it easier for us to find out about issues, and allows you to give your feedback in a more effective manner. I give this news post 5 stars. See? SMART!
User submitted photos
Did you buy one of our products? Want to show it off? Now you have the ability to submit a photo of you wearing/using that product, and once it's approved, it will show up on the product page! This is definitely a chance to get creative. We can't wait to see what you submit!
Sharing
Did you buy *insert item here* and really love it? Or did you see *insert item here* and want your friend to buy this for you for your birthday? You now have the ability to share a product directly to your various social media pages! (Facebook, Twitter, Google+).
Featured Categories
Don't know what to get? That's the beauty of the featured categories! We have new products, top sellers, and items that are "last chance", which means they are going out of stock soon and are available for a discounted price.
We are so excited about this new store, and we hope you love it as much as we do! Now shop til' you drop, baby. Or until you lose feeling in your butt from sitting in your computer chair.
Layout
s you!
