Honestly, joining RT and knowing that you're basically never going to be a personality is kinda weird. The same people just get pushed consistently especially on the podcasts when there's like a hundred other people who work in the same building. Like why the fuck does Brandon get to appear in things with the main crew when I am sure that there's twenty or more people that are infinitely more interesting and not rude that want to get into the show

That sounds like a fucking nightmare. The regular podcast already has had a gigantic drop in quality after the increase in production (as bizarre as that sounds). The level of sponsorship and the same content over and over again made me stop listening to it altogether. The super laid back feeling of the Off Topic show is so much better than it that it frankly feels like the RT one did before they decided that they needed to regular and turn it into a show

It honestly seems like most of the folks who work there are there to get a salary for what they want to do. If you have personality and make it clear you're not just a worker but an entertainer I think the company would notice. It's why Matt, Jeremy and Mica, who joined the company so late, are in the videos constantly, but the other AH editors aren't, because they have the ability to entertain and are comfortable in front of a camera/microphone/etc (regardless what youtube comments say.) Everyone else there is there to do their job, get a salary for what they enjoy, expand their portfolio, and maybe one day work on a higher level project. Just cause there's a hundred people doesn't mean a hundred people are fun to listen to and have fun being in front of hundreds of thousands of people. The people who do entertain on camera or become a "personality" are mostly people who have established themselves, either in being a director, voice actor, or being a team lead (like Mariel and Tyler in broadcast, or the occasional person in accounting/marketing/etc. that everyone knows, can't remember her name.)

It's a good company to work for and from looking at some of the lives of the people who work there, they pay good money and have good benefits. It's not insane for a person to want to join the company even if they'll never be on some obscure internet show. Brandon appears on the podcast a lot because he's been with the company extremely early on, the community knows him, and his blatant retardation is usually entertaining as long as the right people are there to egg him on and make fun of him.

I'd rather Burnie or the homeless guy down the street take over the podcast than Brandon.

Because whenever Brandon is on the podcast, he really tries hard and beforehand he is actively trying to get topics to talk about on the podcast. I'll try finding the timestamp. [editline]17th December 2016[/editline] [url]https://youtu.be/FvBpzOEez-o?t=1h34m15s[/url] From 1:34:15, they get asked a question about ending the podcast and Gus says he'd want Brandon to take over.

The Patch is going on hiatus for the next few months while they re-evaluate it. It isn't going away, but when it comes back it probably won't be the same.

I don't know how everyone here feels about the Minecraft series on Achievement Hunter in general. I like it, but I absolutely don't care for the Pixelmon thing. I'd rather they finish the Zelda map or do literally anything else.
[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51641380]is it just me or is mica actually retarded i thought it'd just be the typical thing of ''oh, new person, will like them in a while im sure'' but she's still awful and unfunny[/QUOTE] I usually wait to see for myself before judging, but the few times she's been around... yeah, she isn't the brightest
