burnie Cast & Crew
Go for launchToday, we start our new livestream podcasts and I am very excited to be a part of this debut. I just want to make a couple of things clear -- the first is that this will not change the delivery of our regular audio podcast. That will still go up on our website & on iTunes every Wednesday for everyone. We may have some moments that are inherently "more video" than others and we may edit those out just to keep from annoying our audio-only listeners.

I also want everyone to understand that this is an evolving product. We have ideas for what we want to accomplish but like every other production we make at Rooster Teeth, this is a moving target. Right now the plan for the live broadcast is for Sponsors only. This will help us limit the amount of equipment we need and slow the interaction from listeners during the show so we can actually make sense of it all. After that, the video archive will be available for Sponsors and the audio version will be publicly available at the usual time. And most importantly, all of that may and probably will change. If you are sponsoring just for the podcast, don't get your feelings hurt if one or more of those features opens up to the public in the future. Like I said, this is an evolving product and your participation is part of that evolution.

And as always, if you have any complaints about your Sponsorship you can direct them to us via email. In my nine years as CEO of RT, I don't recall a single time when we rejected a request for a refund for any reason. I am sure that spirit continues under Matt's reign. We want your support because you enjoy the content we produce -- that's part of the deal.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get in makeup for my big video debut. No way I am going to look worse than Gus. See you in a few hours.

Don't worry, Burnie. If you can't make yourself look better (not that you need to try terribly hard) I'm sure you can always find a way to sabotage Gus and make him look worse.

Burine should have put a large bottle of tequila on Gus's desk last night. That would have ensured that Gus would look like shit today.

I am thrilled that the Sponsor Only perks are coming back. I remember becoming a sponsor just so I could re-watch the backlog of RvB episodes during Season 2 & 3.

Interested to see how this goes. I'll be honest though, if there is a Gus cutout in the background somewhere, the stream will instantly be endeared to me. Or a Geoff cutout so maybe people will stop bitching about him not being on the podcast.

Hey Burns, can't wait to see what you guys have come up with. Personally, I don't find annoyance with anything that may be more "visual". I'm sure in past podcasts there have been moments where someone has done something that is clearly a visual cue that we the listeners aren't privy too, (like once Gav was trying to make a point and pointed to someone rather than verbally referring to them, but based on the silence, before Gus even said anything I had figured Gav pointed to someone, and that in context it was clear who he was pointing to. It wasn't necessary for Gus to make a big deal out of it.)

More importantly though, I'm looking at your journal right now, writing this comment, I don't have a video player open anywhere but I can hear the audio from the current episode of RVB playing somewhere. There's delays and echoes as thought two players are open with one a few seconds behind the other. It's weird.

Today's to-do list just got amended:

- ignore everything else due today and sign up for RT sponsorship because you forgot to do it yesterday

So will this go to the archive immediately? I have an online class I have to attend from 5-6:30pm central so I'm going to flat out miss this .
#13  Posted 7 months ago

Yeah I saw that, was it supposed to 5 pm before?
#2  Posted 7 months ago
Meerkat_df AlduinSlayer
The time was only announced yesterday so no. I think you were looking at the time it would be on on the west coast, because it's 5 pm for us west coasters.

I don't think it's physically possible for you to look worse than Gus.

I wanted to also say that every time I glance at the journal on my homepage, I read "Go For Lunch". :)

I don't know why I missed Burnie stepping down from CEO. That's cool...having been a CEO of a company for 9 years all whilst being younger than 40. Now you get to do what you like. 'grats.

Can't wait. I feel others have sufficiently summed up what i was going to say, so no real need to repeat.

I know personally, as a Sponsor, I am happy to contribute finally after years of wonderful entertainment.

Probably a stretch, but is there any chance for sponsor interaction during the podcast?

I think they are going to have the chat room open., So maybe they will have someone taking questions?

My day has been absolute crap and the podcast is always the one shining beacon in my week.

But let me get something straight...people want refunds for being sponsors?!?!? "PLEASE GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK AS I AM TIRED OF ALL THIS EXTRA CONTENT!!!"

I'm still a little confused and maybe I didn't read something, but will the video podcast be available to people who aren't sponsors? I realize the livestream won't but not sure if anyone's said if the video, like the audio podcast will be available later or not.

A million times over they have explained that the video archive, like the live stream, is only available for sponsors. That may change in the future, but that is the situation right now.
