Hey everyone - hopefully you’re already aware that the 16th season of Red vs. Blue is premiering for FIRST members on Sunday, April 15 at 8:00 a.m. CDT. It’s going to be our sixteenthiest season ever. The show is now old enough to drive a car or something. It’s going to be awesome, just watch.
If you’re not yet a FIRST member, you should correct that, but in the meantime let me tell you about how we’re going to be releasing this show for everyone to see.
We have a long history of trying out new things with Red vs. Blue. That sounds oddly sexual but it’s not. What I mean is, our most loyal viewers have a long history of watching it on the Rooster Teeth site. In fact, there was literally nowhere else to watch it until season 6. Caboose hadn’t even invented YouTube yet. I think Woodrow Wilson was still president. It was a totally different world back then. Possibly much better.
So, things change, and then sometimes they change back again in delightful ways. With our new and improved site and mobile apps, there’s even more reason to watch Red vs. Blue right here at its original home. Because of that, we have decided to release Red vs. Blue episodes free to the public on the Rooster Teeth site and mobile apps a mere one week after they go up for FIRST members. They will be posted to YouTube at some point in the future, but the only way to watch them for free one week after their initial release is on the Rooster Teeth site and mobile apps.
We are committed to making our new viewing experience the best it can be, and bringing our community together on the same platform is a huge priority for us. This new season of Red vs. Blue is the perfect way to experiment with that. As it stands, this is the only show with this release schedule – our plan is to leave RWBY’s schedule the same as it has been.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below. If you have praise and adoration, you can leave a comment too. Or maybe combine both, like “How can you be so awesome?” Just go nuts.
We’re excited about making our site and apps the best place to watch Rooster Teeth content, and your feedback is crucial in that process. Thanks everyone and can’t wait to watch the show with you this Sunday.
- Matt
P.S. - Along with having a new site and mobile apps, we'll be doing an hour long watch party for Red vs. Blue Season 16 Episode 1 at 10:00 a.m. CDT on Sunday April 15! Head on over to roosterteeth.com/live and watch with the rest of the community.

Hey Matt,
Longtime fan from up north here- I know you're probably busy as hell, but if you get a chance at some point, my production team just finished its first short film and if you have the time, I'd really appreciate any feedback you could give us. I think your more honed comedic sensibilities could be a big help in giving us a sense of what works & what doesn't in the film. Runtime is 11min (fair warning), but it plugs along at a good pace.
Have a great day man, hope to hear from ya.

Hey there Matt!! I just wanted to say I'm super excited for RTX London in October, I sincerely hope they'll be another Founding Fathers panel for that one as well like the ones you've had in Sydney and Austin. Obviously the RWBY Panel would rank the highest on my must-see list for the event, but I would also love to see you, Burnie, Geoff, Gus and Joel having a banter about random stuff. To me you are all such wonderful people and... To be honest I've completely forgotten what I was gong to say next! My mind has drawn up a blank, not good! Anyways I wish you all well, and sorry for the random post, as I imagine you no doubt have like ten thousand and one more things to do right now, than worry about the likes of me.

Hey Matt, there's two showings for Lazer Team near me in Pittsburgh on the 27th, but they're both sold out (I had to wait till pay day to buy my ticket). Is there anyway to get another ticket or something? Just wondering if you might have any idea on what to do here.

Today is the anniversary of my mom's death. She passed away when I was 12. I am 18 now and looking back I don't think I could of made it through that time without you guys.
I had the support of my family and friends, but Rooster Teeth made me laugh again. You guys made me smile. I wanted to properly thank you for that. So thank you! Every last one of you. Thank you.

Matt,
I spoke to you regarding the song I wrote, "The Ballad of the Infamous 535". This is a better version than the one you were given. (I started re-recording it shortly after I sent a copy to Chelsea) It's still not as polished as some of my other recordings, but its nature as a old-style folk tune allows for such roughness until I finally have a reason to redo it. https://soundcloud.com/brianfischer-2/the-ballad-of-the-infamous-535-demo
Hope you enjoy the music!

Hey Matt. I have a few things to say/ask.
1. RTX was so awesome and a blast! I hope I can make it next year. (And maybe get a VIP pass or be a Guardian (Props to those people for making RTX so amazing and run smoother than I thought) and arriving in Austin at least 2 days before and leaving the day after or 2 days after RTX because I missed so much sidequest fun and I kind of wanted to discover the city more).
2. I was wondering what will happen to the Monty Memorial now since RTX is now over. I am not sure I heard what would happen to it.

Hi Matt!
I have a question for you about food, odd though it may be. You see I am a chef, and have noticed that since you've moved to your new location you don't have a cafe or some such to sustain you all throughout the day. I know, only normal human beings need survive on more than booze and rice crispy treats. However, I wanted to know if you had plans to create an in-house spot for chow?

Hey, my name is Jack Rivera as you can see by my user name, I know what I'm going to ask may seem like a lot but I was wondering if it would be okay to get a slowed down animation of crescent rose transforming so that I can make a hand made plastic model version of it to be put on to a 1/100 MG Deathscythe Gundam that will be on display with three other Gundams that will look like the RWBY characters with Beacon as their background?

Hey Matt. I was wondering if the RT store will ever be selling the "Official Japanese RWBY Fanbook" again, at the time it was being sold in the RT store I did not have the money to buy one and also it was sold out by the time I had some money and then it was gone from the store.

Why doesn't Doctor Emily Gray fix Lopez's voice box.
How about if Church said that to like Simons and Simons tries to tell Sarge who ignores him and then 'comes up with the idea himself'. Then what if when she did, Lopez sounded like Church, then everyone was really creeped out and Lopez says a shit load of really mean stuff to all the reds that Sarge will just blame on the Blues. Then Doc Gray turns the Spanish back on. Just think of the funny possibilities.

Matt,
You may not read this but there is a girl in Rhode Island that is a huge fan of all things RT. Last year she was diagnosed with chronic Lyme Disease and has been unable to do the things a normal girl should be able to do. Tomorrow, Wednesday May 13, is her 16th birthday. She will not be able to celebrate it as she should due to her disease. Furthermore, tomorrow she will begin using IV bags that will make her feel like she has the flu. I have talked very briefly with her and she asked me to contact you to thank you (for what exact purpose I do not know), and said to ask for a temporary follow on Twitter @Lindsey_Clark11 or a friend request on this site. Her RT username is lindsey_11. What I am trying to do with this message is make her tomorrows featured user, but I don't know if I'm too late to make that deadline. I encourage you to please read the rest of her story as she said it on her Tumblr loserwithlyme.tumblr.com/

Hey, Matt:
I have a problem with the RT Store, but it wouldn't let me contact shop owner. I didn't know if you were the person to talk to or not, but if you aren't, would you mind letting me know who it is I should talk to. I am trying to track my order progress, but for whatever reason, it won't let me. I'm clicking the order number, but nothing happens. If you could get back to me by replying here, or sending me a message, that would be great.
Thanks!

Hey Matt, I received the Lazer Team update email today and the announcement of Melbourne to be the premier international city. If I may make a suggestion, the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) is on between July 30th and August 16th. MIFF has a film market attached to it, assuming you will have this regions distribution through Hanabee, it might pay off to enter into the festival to attract attention of other region distributers.

Matt, I want to just say... I'm for the passing of Monty. It must be the worse thing imaginable. I didn't think in a million years that this would happen. Despite the fact that I've not met him before I cried my eyes out. When I had first heard about it I had thought it was a hoax. I had tried my damntest to find a way not to believe this til I got on roosterteeth. I can't imagine what you guys are going through. but my condolences to you and Everyone there. We Love You, Monty!

Dear Matt, I don't really know if this will mean anything substantial to you, but I just discovered RWBY, just flipping thru some anime channels, and was immediately hooked, upon further investigating the genius behind this project I was left heartbroken to hear of the loss of your friend and colleague.
I am truly saddened and wish to convey my condolences for you and everyone at Rooster Teeth, as well as the family he's left behind.
I hope after some time you will find the fortitude to continue on producing such great works!

Dear matt hullum,
hello sir my name is Taran Worrell, and I am trying to contact you because simply I want to ask you if there was any way to get any kind of position at rooster teeth. I know you must get hundreds and hundreds of messages a day pertaining to this topic and are quite sick of seeing them. When I say any kind of position I mean any thing I would be happy being the coffee boy for the whole office being payed two dollars a day and I am not exaggerating at all about the coffee boy thing. I know you probably wont care but I just want to leave El paso and put every thing here behind me. I feel like if I stay here I am just going to end up in a dead end job at some fast food place unhappy and just wanting to end it all, But if there was any way that I could work for rooster teeth then I wouldnt be happier. In short I am willing to drop every thing in my life to work for your company in any way shape or form possible at all.
Sincerely,
Taran Hunter Worrell.
P.S. I understand that this is a short message but i mean every thing I have said above and I truly hope that you get this. and thank you if you do. also my email is worrell.taran.hunter@gmail.com if you do wish to reply to this message then please use that email. I had tried to message you but seeing as you are only accepting messages from friends i feel that this is the next best course of action.

Dear Crew, I've watched things that Monty has been making since I was 14. Which was a while ago, anyhow, I just want to let everyone know that I am praying for His wife and family. This is truly devastating.
There truly is nothing that can describe the pain and loss of a loved one.
I really felt like I knew Monty personally though I never met the man. I will miss him very dearly. My deepest sympathies to his family.
I'm so so sorry for your loss. Mr. Oum was a creative guru and I could see that he was an amazing friend.
God bless.
