I mean, I don't think he's really struggling financially. Pretty sure his subs alone are a good chunk of change, not even factoring in advertising, sponsors, and being I believed partnered in Twitch.

I have been laid off from a few jobs in the past and it was a hassle. It's been a hassle recently. I'm actually starting a new career position on Monday. I can't imagine losing something like this after 15 or so years where many of your friends work. I'm so sorry, Jack, and to all your teammates.
@@bretth1558 not even being judgemental of humanity but you would think of any industry to be struggling cannabis would be the LAST thing I would expect to need to be slowing down I have never been at single point in my life in about a decade where a week went by without someone being like "I could use a rip or an edible" 😂
Jack WAS Extra Life, that entire concept would not exist without Jack, idc about the back end mechanics, Jack was the heart of Extra Life, and you were the true honest soul of Achievement Hunter. RT was iconic in my life for over a decade, I loved it, and I love you and can see only success in your future going forward, whether it be in media and entertainment, or just as a paragon of humanity.
Jack is one of the most creative, talented and genuine people on the internet - I'm sad RT's gone, but anywhere the cast and crew go next will end up immensely better for including them.
RT will always be missed, but I was far more attached to AH. I really wish the best for them all going forward. They got me through a lot of rough times over the years.
So proud of you, Jack. Thanks for all of the great memories over the years. You, and Geoff, and everyone at Rooster Teeth that made it so special - you guys mean a lot to me.
insane to think I grew up watching you and the rest of RoosterTeeth (only 10 years, technically, but I was only 12 years old 10 years ago lol) best of luck with everything you do in the future Jack, thanks for everything
As a kid I remember not liking Jack much, I'm older now and realize he really was the glue, I rewatch old let's plays and find myself rooting for Jack always. He's so genuine and relatable.
Extra Life streams were one of the highlights of my time as a fan, and I always felt the earnestness and love that went into it. I remember being a sleep deprived college student desperately trying to stay up for 2spooky, excited to see all the bits I missed, and waking up just in time to bawl my eyes out before class as the stream wrapped up and I saw how much good the community was able to do. It actually inspired me to help spearhead making our college's gaming club do an extra life stream for Boston Children's, and I'm very excited to see what comes around for this year. So much love to you Jack, there's a reason I've always stayed following you, and it's your heart and dedication.
My favourite part about modding for RT, was the fact that nothing was ever out of my reach. If I said I wanted to try something, I got told "we'll see what we can do". I got to try my hand at so much, and was supported and encouraged every step of the way. I love the fact that the I-can-wear-as-many-hats-as-I-want attitude RT has is so visible in this video and through the work Jack has done. Apart from the people, it was my favourite part of working for RT for 3 and half years. I'm now doing my Public Relations MA in New York and I'm so grateful to Rooster Teeth for getting me here. Good luck wherever you go Jack, whatever team you end up in next will be so so lucky to have you
Hahaa! That's fantastic! I wasn't the most frequent chater but you mods helped me keep my sanity right after my little was born, so I wish you an the other mods all the best in your future endeavors! Thanks for the good times!
“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.” Can't wait to see how you continue your story. Thank you so much for the years of laughter and the AMAZING work you did on Extra Life.
Jack, I am typing this while fighting the tears. You were someone at RoosterTeeth that I could always count on to be a positive light. You brought out so much in everyone though Achievement Hunter, Inside Gaming, and Extra Life. I would plan my vacation from work so I could watch as much Extra Life as possible. Keep taking care of the world you wonderful, kind, bearded man.
"hi my name is jack and welcome to AHWU" gonna miss you on RT jack. i hope one day you can gather the AH and LP crew again and revive both those channels again, one day
Annual Pass was a ritual thing for me when it was going, I LOVE theme parks but lack the funds to go, so hearing you just ranting and raving about all things theme parks made me so happy. I would love to see Annual Pass return someday! Rooster Teeth was incredibly important to so many, it sucks having it shutdown after 21 years, it hurt my soul watching the final livestream and videos, watching how hard it is on everyone. My heart goes out to you Jack, and every other person from RT
Jack, of everyone I’ve followed who is an internet personality, you have always proven yourself to be a genuine, wholesome, actually good person. I hope for nothing but the best for you, sir. My heart goes out to you, Geoff and everyone else who gave so much to make RT the success that it has been for so long. Thank you for being a light to those in darkness with your content and your personality, and for all the assistance you’ve helped provide for kids in need.
The best years of my life were in college, my buddies and I bonded over the Acheivement Hunter vids and Let's Plays. It was often the best part of an otherwise difficult day. Thank you so much for being part of those days. We're all very proud of what you and your coworkers/friends had created. Wish the very best for you going forward. Thanks again for everything, Bearded One!
Jack, your kind smile and honest laughter accompanied me through my entire youth. I cannot thank you enough. Please, keep creating, the world desperately needs people like you on the spotlight.
His crying because he lost a game mode? His crying because he cheated and caught got by Gavin and extended the video past the limit? His political BS in almost every video? Yeaaaah
Jack, you truly are one of the best. Inside and out, you’re a mentor, a legend, and in my eyes a hero. Nobody will ever be such a positive influence like you are. Thank you for all you do, thank you for all you did, and thank you for all you’re going to keep doing. They say all hero’s wear capes, well my hero plays video games. Nothing but love for you my man.
You and Achievement Hunter made my life bearable for the last few years after my stroke. I had planned to send something to the office as a thanks for years but I was never well enough to plan it (I live in the UK). I hope you understand that you and Achievement Hunter were appreciated and loved for so many years by so many people. You are one of the kindest and most generous people I've ever watched and I wish I had been well enough to meet members of Achievement Hunter (I had a ticket for RTX London in 2017 but I had my stroke a few weeks earlier and was in hospital). Thank you for the many years of incredible memories and laughter, you are truely one of a kind. I only wish I could show this appreciation for all of Achievement Hunter over the years. I wish you the best in your life and hope you can move on to the great things you deserve
I discovered AH over a decade ago. To be completely honest, I didn't think you were that funny, but as years passed, your style and personality continually grew on me. I loved watching your relationships with other cast members, people treated you like the awesome dad and it was always just so incredibly wholesome when you were a part of the moment. Thank you for everything you've contributed over the course of your time with RT. Even Geoffs journalistic vocabulary cant articulate what a truly genuinly amazing person you are.
It's been an amazing ride Jack. I'm 28 and I've been watching since I was 14. Your humor and creativity got me through some of my worst and best times. You have a fan forever in me. I wish you luck in your next endeavors. I have no doubt that the next 15 years will be even better than the last.
Even though I haven't watched any RT content for the past 4-5 years, I did watch since I was 7 (5th season of RVB just came out), and I will say that you have always been a true genuine person who cares about everyrhing he does, as well as the fans. I remember meeting you at Let's Play Live Tampa either my freshman or sophomore year of college and got to talk to you and you were just the most kind and welcoming person I have ever met. I still have the pictures and cherish them deeply bc despite the fact that I haven't been keeping up w RT stuff, you guys will always hold a special place in my heart. A lot of my humor and vernacular was influenced by you guys and you truly made my childhood. I trust anywhere you go and anything you do in the future will be elevated by your presence. 🙏
Thank you so much Jack. You did so much for us all, and so much for the kids through ExtraLife, and the world is a better place thanks to you. Love you dude ❤
I didn't watch a tonne of RT stuff these last 2 years or so but I was an avid fan starting from Minecraft Episode 3: Plan G onwards and watched everything that was put out for many many years. I think I was 11 when I started watching (definitely way too young but eh) and I'm turning 23 next month. You guys were a huge part of my life and had a huge impact on how I grew up and kinda formed into the person I am today. From the bottom of my heart Jack, thank you for everything you did. Thank you for an incredible childhood, thank you for tens of thousands of hours of laughs from minecraft, GTA, let's role, destiny raids, haunter, off topic, RT podcast, get gud, all of it, thank you for the years and years of backbreaking effort and work that went into putting the whole thing together. You were the heart and soul of AH and i can't understate how important and impactful you were to it all. Good luck in the future. I can't wait to see the new projects you'll be spearheading and I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for you.
Rooster Teeth and AH was a big part of my childhood. All of the videos that you guys did will always be some of the best laughs I’ve ever had since the Halo Reach fails of the week days. Glad to see you doing well and reminiscing over a great time in gaming history and of course the other great projects you’ve worked on. Keep making awesome content Jack!
Dear Jack, I thought I had cried all my tears out in the last two months, but watching this has managed to get a few more out of me. Thanks to you and everyone in AH/RT, I have so many wonderful memories. Even during the toughest times, there was always something to lift my spirits. One thing that I hold near and dear to my heart is the Achievement Hunter Musical. It was released on the day I got fired from my job. My wife and I were struggling, and I had no idea what I was going to do. I was having an awful day, and I saw that there was a new GTA video. I thought maybe it would give me an hour where I could smile and take my mind off things. It turned out to be the musical, and I started crying again because it felt like a prayer had been answered. That day went from being one of the scariest days of my life to one that I'll never forget. Even now, when I listen to those songs, I get a rush of all the emotions I felt that day. But I know that my wife and I made it through. I'm excited to see what the future brings for you and for others from RT. I know Face Jam is continuing as 100% Eat, and I'm pretty sure F**k Face is continuing as The Regulation Podcast. Hopefully, I will know more tomorrow. And I believe Red Web announced that they were going to be continuing as well in some capacity which is great. It's been enough time since the announcement of Rooster Teeth's closing that I have come to accept what is happening. I'm ready for the future and ready to support all of you guys however I can moving forward. I have been a Rooster Teeth Sponsor and then a First Member since 2010, and I'm not going to stop supporting you now. Thank you for everything, and cheers to the future. Charles (BlindyTheBat)
Thank you Jack for all that you did. I’ve watched your content the entire 15 years and loved every minute. You and the rest of the team helped me through some really difficult times, and I’ll always be grateful for that. Good luck with your future projects, you’re incredibly talented and I know that you’ll do amazingly well whatever it is you do ❤
I feel like I have to say that out of all of the achievement hunter people, I do think you were one of my least favorites. I think it was something about our personality that never mixed. I never let me hold that against you. You are an amazing creator. Your passion, your love, and your joy shine through every project you've worked on. Plus you're the magic man behind extra life. Youre one of the greatest people to have had a launching point from RT. You'll kill it in these upcoming years, and even if I am not there for it, I am excited for you. Lots of love!
Plus to preface, it's hard to choose a least favorite out of a group of 10 great people. Being the bottom in a room out of 10/10's makes you at least a 9
I'm in my 30s and grew up with RvB and have such fond memories of the golden days of RT and AH. Videos like this make me so happy, Jack. You'll always have a friend and follower in me. Can't wait to see what's next for you!
Every single thing you mentioned here were my favorite things AH/RT did. You were the through-thread for all of them! I'm so excited to see what you do next and continue watching all the crazy things you'll create🧡🧡🧡🧡
Hi Jack, you and the rest of the company did so much in turning me into who I am on such an innate level. I was introduced by a friend in 8th grade (26 now). I once desired to work there. Throughout all the companies ups and downs, I wanted nothing more than to see everyone succeed. Well, I certainly don’t consider this a failure. Thank you
You guys mean so much to me. I didnt have anyone growing up. No friends. I was distant with my family. But watching you guys laugh and joke really connected with me. I felt like i had friends to hang out with. I love you guys. Thank you for making videos and just being there when i was alone. I will always love you guys. Thanks❤❤😫😄💟💟💟
Jack you're a legend and a badass I hope you Geoff, Michael, Ray and Gavin and everyone involved in Rooster Teeth and Achievement hunter know how many smiles you guys put on so many faces
Jack you are one of the most professional content creators on the Internet, you kept me thoroughly entertained since I was 13 years old, now 24. Achievement Hunter wouldn't have been what it was without you, best of luck in all of your future endeavors, thank you.
Man, Jack. Of all the Rooster Teeth guys, I always related to you the most. I was only a couple years older than you and you were so down-to-earth. When I saw you in the Minecraft Let's Plays and how you'd go quiet when you were getting serious or when people would gang up on you, I just thought how much we were alike. And you running Extra Life, damn, you were a great person and represented the older gaming community so well.
As a recent college grad it's incredibly hard getting in industry and one of my biggest fears is stability. I can't imagine what it feels like especially after everything you've put into it over the last almost 2 decades. I love RoosterTeeth and you, and wish nothing but the best. Seeing this makes me hopeful for myself and you. You'll forever be a part of the core memories of so many, never forget that!
Jack achievement hunter the musical and extra life are by far some of my favorite content! Thank you so much for making them happen and can't wait to see what's next for you.
Thank you for all that you’ve done over the years Jack - an inspiration to us all. Wishing you and the rest of the Rooster Teeth team the best moving forward.
peter pan golf is so fun. there is this nice BBQ place right net to it. so many memories at that intersection. good luck to whatever endeavors you go on next man!
I've been watching Achievement hunter since i was 17. I'm 30 now and I just got the news that Rooster Teeth shut down. Thank you for all the work and entertainment Jack. We love you.
Thank you so much for all the memories over the years, Jack. You and the guys have brought so much joy to my life while AH was still around and it will forever be apart of my life that I look back on and remember. Hope to see you rocking on in the future with more awesome productions or whatever you may end up doing
People always say “never meet your idols”, but I’m glad I met y’all. Absolutely amazing individuals to the core, and as a collective unit, absolutely untouchable in talent and charisma. I’m so thankful to have been able to watch y’all from about 10 years old to now being 28.
you may have not been a founder but you were a foundation Jack, your content helped me through a lot of things and i honestly can't wait to see what is next for you.
Thank you so much for all of the hardwork and passion that you put into your work, Jack! I watched so much of the content that you produced or partcipated in for about the past 10 years. You are one of the most dedicated entertainers ive ever had the pleasure of watching. Watching this, it's clear to me how considerate you are of your community and how you put them into mind when sharing your own creative vision. Please know that there are many people that you impacted, including myself, and many that wish the best for you as you continue to move onto new projects!
Hey Jack, I was featured years ago on Fails of the Week, I loved watching RoosterTeeth and following Achivement Hunter over the years. I wish you the best of luck and hope you keep us updated because I know so many people would love to see what you do in the future.
It was so fun seeing all these old projects that you and the others worked so hard for. I totally teared up when you went over LPL, that was the best night of my life for the longest time and still nothing compares. Thank you for everything you and the rest of RT did!!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Jack! You are immensely talented and anyone that hires you will be better for it. I look forward to seeing what is next!
From a longtime fan (and i mean, from before you even started at RT) I cannot thank you enough for the endless amount of entertainment youve provided me over the years. There isnt enough praise in the world that i can give that would do justice to the work you did. You were instrumental, indespensible, and always incredible. I truly wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. I wish that i had more to give you, as it hardly measures up to everything youve given me over the years. Thanks again, and good luck my friend!
I was just watching all of Phoenix's "Best of Jack" videos, you brought so much joy to me for the years I watched RT. I randomly found "Fails of the Weak" early in its time and was a fan of you immediately. As someone who is usually the older person in friend groups aka the mom, I think I resonated with you and your humor especially because of that. Always felt bad that fans seemed to dislike you in the early Minecraft days but seems like people really warmed up to you and I am so glad. Thank you for all the amazing laughs with AH and IG, and all your hard work on the charity streams. You're amazing Jack!
Thank you for being you, both Geoff and you were remodels to me growing up. Started out at 6 years old watching RvB and now being 24 seeing Rooster Teeth close its story, you have always been an inspiration to me from the way you hold yourself to how you interact with those around you. Thank you for being you cant wait to see what you cook up in the future, keep being you!
‘what’s up guys it is jack from achievement hunter’ 9 words that defined my childhood. i would have given up on gaming as soon as i went to college if it wasn’t for y’all. specifically you and geoff. rvb and ah were all i watched as a teenager and it makes me so happy that you are continuing to make content to this day
The talent, passion and dedication shows through all of the work you've done. Further, there's a level of quality that comes from many of the shows and events you were apart of, and it's not hard to see that a lot of it stemmed from your vision and input. Thank you for being such a great talent, a fantastic entertainer, and an inspiration for up and coming creatives, Jack!
Thanks for all of it, man. I didn't watch all of RT's content, but I've been a fan since near the beginning, and I've seen all of these things you were part of. Sad RT's days are over, but grateful to have had them, and excited to see what the future holds!
It's mind blowing how multi-talented Jack is. So many great memories over the years. And although 15 years sounds like a long time, it's impressive just how much Jack and AH have achieved in that time. Can't wait to see what's next.
You are an amazing talent, Jack, thanks so much for everything from a 10-year-plus fan. Sending love and also the Extra life streams were some amazing highlights for me
This was awesome Jack thank you so much for sharing. You did so many incredible things at Rooster Teeth and I can't wait to see what you do next (maybe more annual pass maybe?!).
Stopped watching RT around 2016 and havent seen you for a while Jack, but youre looking better than ever!! I cant thank you enough for all the laughs you gave me when I was a kid, yall were seriously formative during my adolescence. Best of luck in any projects going forward, youre awesome!!!
Jack, you are a beam of brilliant, kind light in a dark world. I hope you can continue to do things you love for the rest of your life. I can't wait to see what's next. Much love.
What an insane nostalgia trip... as a watcher, nearly all of these projects are dear to my adolescence, I can only imagine how it feels to be in your position. Best of luck in future projects, can't wait to see what the mind behind my favorite shows has in store. Thanks for all the memories; we're waiting, watching, and cheering for you no matter what.
Thank you so much for this video, Jack. It is so bittersweet reminiscing about all of this content in the midst of the shutdown of RT. I think I'm gonna go back and watch some of my favorites again. I can't wait to see what you and everyone else do next.
I am so thankful for all you have done for AH and the projects you created. AH is what got me through some hard times by being the entertainment I needed in life, especially between 2011-2013 cause I unknowingly was dealing with severe depression. You made me laugh so much that it made me forget my depression. Personally I thank you for being the Heart of AH that was bursting with ideas and love. I hope to see you again in future content.
Jack, you continue to be one of the most wholesome, supportive, and genuine creators I keep watching on YT. I've loved all of your work and look forward to wherever you go next!
Jack has always been an inspiration of mine for probably about a decade now. He was always my favorite AH member and I can’t say how much I appreciate all the work you’ve done all these years! Thank you kind sir!
While it is sad rt came to an end this video made me happy and excited to follow your guys individual journeys. Can’t wait to see where you go and the great things you do Jack ❣️
Jack you were the heart and soul of AH and watching your time at RT over the years has been a joy. Here's to you keeping the same passion and energy in all your future projects beyond RT
The OG and one and only Jack Pattillo. I remember watching AH from day one. You guys got me hooked. Then you guys hired Ray and Michael at RTX on the spot. Gavin living with Geoff was one of the best videos. Thank you for helping me through my childhood. ❤
Been down cause of RT going away. Not as much as i thought i was but enough to feel like my childhood just left. Idk if you'll read this jack but thanks to you and geoff and everyone else at RT for many years of laughter and thanks to the AH guys for such great memories of friends just messing around playing games.
Thank you for all the years of amazing content, I will miss the Extra Life livestreams the most and I hope to see your shining face doing something awesome soon!
Thank you for sharing Jack. I was 18 when I first started watching Rooster Teeth content. Watching you and the AH guys really was a big part of my life for at least 10 years. At some point, life caught up with me and I wasn't able to watch as much. But I still tried to catch as much videos as I could. Thank you for countless hours of laughs! It really meant a lot!
I remember being 12 years old, binging Halo Reach after school, and it was you and Geoff's commentaries on Fails of the Weak that made me discover and follow Rooster Teeth. It's so lovely to see in reflection after all these years that Rooster Teeth had such a positive impact to yourself, just as much as the fans that grew up with them. I don't like picking favorites, but I don't think I would've been hooked to Achievement Hunter without your contribution Jack. You're a legend with a heart of gold, pal. Good luck!

I love how he's just posting his video resume and framing it as normal content. a great way to get it out there.
I mean, I don't think he's really struggling financially. Pretty sure his subs alone are a good chunk of change, not even factoring in advertising, sponsors, and being I believed partnered in Twitch. I doubt he'd open things like Fallout's MTG if he was having a hard time. Pretty sure this is just a general send off to the fans out there.

One man's video resume is another man's trip through memory lane, and in this case it's a lot of men's trip.
Honestly, I respect the hustle
Only today did I learn where the heck the lady Baltimore bit came from. Guess now I gotta go watch the weird place.
"I'm Jack." Is one of my favorite lines/deliveries of all time. (The Weird Place)
I have been laid off from a few jobs in the past and it was a hassle. It's been a hassle recently. I'm actually starting a new career position on Monday. I can't imagine losing something like this after 15 or so years where many of your friends work. I'm so sorry, Jack, and to all your teammates.

The best years of my life were in college, my buddies and I bonded over the Acheivement Hunter vids and Let's Plays. It was often the best part of an otherwise difficult day. Thank you so much for being part of those days. We're all very proud of what you and your coworkers/friends had created. Wish the very best for you going forward. Thanks again for everything, Bearded One!
Jack, your kind smile and honest laughter accompanied me through my entire youth. I cannot thank you enough. Please, keep creating, the world desperately needs people like you on the spotlight.
His crying because he lost a game mode? His crying because he cheated and caught got by Gavin and extended the video past the limit? His political BS in almost every video? Yeaaaah
@@Truck_person grow up, stupid
Jack, you truly are one of the best. Inside and out, you’re a mentor, a legend, and in my eyes a hero. Nobody will ever be such a positive influence like you are. Thank you for all you do, thank you for all you did, and thank you for all you’re going to keep doing. They say all hero’s wear capes, well my hero plays video games. Nothing but love for you my man.
Best? Best at spreading political propaganda in almost every let’s play
You and Achievement Hunter made my life bearable for the last few years after my stroke. I had planned to send something to the office as a thanks for years but I was never well enough to plan it (I live in the UK). I hope you understand that you and Achievement Hunter were appreciated and loved for so many years by so many people. You are one of the kindest and most generous people I've ever watched and I wish I had been well enough to meet members of Achievement Hunter (I had a ticket for RTX London in 2017 but I had my stroke a few weeks earlier and was in hospital). Thank you for the many years of incredible memories and laughter, you are truely one of a kind. I only wish I could show this appreciation for all of Achievement Hunter over the years. I wish you the best in your life and hope you can move on to the great things you deserve
This is awesome Jack!! Thanks so much for everything, cannot wait to see what you and Caiti do in the future!!
You were always my favorite achievement hunter. Thanks for making such good content.
thank you Jack. I am who I am in part due to you and all that y'all built. I can't wait to see what the future brings.
I discovered AH over a decade ago. To be completely honest, I didn't think you were that funny, but as years passed, your style and personality continually grew on me. I loved watching your relationships with other cast members, people treated you like the awesome dad and it was always just so incredibly wholesome when you were a part of the moment. Thank you for everything you've contributed over the course of your time with RT. Even Geoffs journalistic vocabulary cant articulate what a truly genuinly amazing person you are.
It's been an amazing ride Jack. I'm 28 and I've been watching since I was 14. Your humor and creativity got me through some of my worst and best times. You have a fan forever in me. I wish you luck in your next endeavors. I have no doubt that the next 15 years will be even better than the last.
Even though I haven't watched any RT content for the past 4-5 years, I did watch since I was 7 (5th season of RVB just came out), and I will say that you have always been a true genuine person who cares about everyrhing he does, as well as the fans. I remember meeting you at Let's Play Live Tampa either my freshman or sophomore year of college and got to talk to you and you were just the most kind and welcoming person I have ever met. I still have the pictures and cherish them deeply bc despite the fact that I haven't been keeping up w RT stuff, you guys will always hold a special place in my heart. A lot of my humor and vernacular was influenced by you guys and you truly made my childhood.
I trust anywhere you go and anything you do in the future will be elevated by your presence. 🙏
Thank you so much Jack. You did so much for us all, and so much for the kids through ExtraLife, and the world is a better place thanks to you. Love you dude ❤
I didn't watch a tonne of RT stuff these last 2 years or so but I was an avid fan starting from Minecraft Episode 3: Plan G onwards and watched everything that was put out for many many years. I think I was 11 when I started watching (definitely way too young but eh) and I'm turning 23 next month. You guys were a huge part of my life and had a huge impact on how I grew up and kinda formed into the person I am today.
From the bottom of my heart Jack, thank you for everything you did. Thank you for an incredible childhood, thank you for tens of thousands of hours of laughs from minecraft, GTA, let's role, destiny raids, haunter, off topic, RT podcast, get gud, all of it, thank you for the years and years of backbreaking effort and work that went into putting the whole thing together. You were the heart and soul of AH and i can't understate how important and impactful you were to it all.
Good luck in the future. I can't wait to see the new projects you'll be spearheading and I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for you.
Such an awesome video. Thanks for everything Jack!
Rooster Teeth and AH was a big part of my childhood. All of the videos that you guys did will always be some of the best laughs I’ve ever had since the Halo Reach fails of the week days. Glad to see you doing well and reminiscing over a great time in gaming history and of course the other great projects you’ve worked on. Keep making awesome content Jack!
You guy's helped a lot this depression and anxiety in 2014 and love to hear stuff we couldn't before.
Dear Jack,
I thought I had cried all my tears out in the last two months, but watching this has managed to get a few more out of me. Thanks to you and everyone in AH/RT, I have so many wonderful memories. Even during the toughest times, there was always something to lift my spirits. One thing that I hold near and dear to my heart is the Achievement Hunter Musical. It was released on the day I got fired from my job. My wife and I were struggling, and I had no idea what I was going to do. I was having an awful day, and I saw that there was a new GTA video. I thought maybe it would give me an hour where I could smile and take my mind off things. It turned out to be the musical, and I started crying again because it felt like a prayer had been answered. That day went from being one of the scariest days of my life to one that I'll never forget. Even now, when I listen to those songs, I get a rush of all the emotions I felt that day. But I know that my wife and I made it through.
I'm excited to see what the future brings for you and for others from RT. I know Face Jam is continuing as 100% Eat, and I'm pretty sure F**k Face is continuing as The Regulation Podcast. Hopefully, I will know more tomorrow. And I believe Red Web announced that they were going to be continuing as well in some capacity which is great. It's been enough time since the announcement of Rooster Teeth's closing that I have come to accept what is happening. I'm ready for the future and ready to support all of you guys however I can moving forward. I have been a Rooster Teeth Sponsor and then a First Member since 2010, and I'm not going to stop supporting you now.
Thank you for everything, and cheers to the future.

Thank you Jack for all that you did. I’ve watched your content the entire 15 years and loved every minute. You and the rest of the team helped me through some really difficult times, and I’ll always be grateful for that. Good luck with your future projects, you’re incredibly talented and I know that you’ll do amazingly well whatever it is you do ❤
I feel like I have to say that out of all of the achievement hunter people, I do think you were one of my least favorites. I think it was something about our personality that never mixed. I never let me hold that against you. You are an amazing creator. Your passion, your love, and your joy shine through every project you've worked on. Plus you're the magic man behind extra life. Youre one of the greatest people to have had a launching point from RT. You'll kill it in these upcoming years, and even if I am not there for it, I am excited for you. Lots of love!
Plus to preface, it's hard to choose a least favorite out of a group of 10 great people. Being the bottom in a room out of 10/10's makes you at least a 9
I'm in my 30s and grew up with RvB and have such fond memories of the golden days of RT and AH. Videos like this make me so happy, Jack. You'll always have a friend and follower in me. Can't wait to see what's next for you!
Every single thing you mentioned here were my favorite things AH/RT did. You were the through-thread for all of them! I'm so excited to see what you do next and continue watching all the crazy things you'll create🧡🧡🧡🧡
Hi Jack, you and the rest of the company did so much in turning me into who I am on such an innate level. I was introduced by a friend in 8th grade (26 now). I once desired to work there. Throughout all the companies ups and downs, I wanted nothing more than to see everyone succeed. Well, I certainly don’t consider this a failure. Thank you
You guys mean so much to me. I didnt have anyone growing up. No friends. I was distant with my family. But watching you guys laugh and joke really connected with me. I felt like i had friends to hang out with. I love you guys. Thank you for making videos and just being there when i was alone. I will always love you guys. Thanks❤❤😫😄💟💟💟
Jack you're a legend and a badass I hope you Geoff, Michael, Ray and Gavin and everyone involved in Rooster Teeth and Achievement hunter know how many smiles you guys put on so many faces
Jack you are one of the most professional content creators on the Internet, you kept me thoroughly entertained since I was 13 years old, now 24. Achievement Hunter wouldn't have been what it was without you, best of luck in all of your future endeavors, thank you.
A lot of talented people on the market right now. One hell of a 15 year run Jack!
Such a hard-working, detail-oriented, and talented gent on and off screen. You’re inspirational, Jack. Wishing you the best of luck in what’s next!
I still remember watching HORSE. That was a highlight of my life.
Thank you for all that you did and for all the laughs these past 21 years. You made my childhood and teen years so much more enjoyable
Man, Jack. Of all the Rooster Teeth guys, I always related to you the most. I was only a couple years older than you and you were so down-to-earth. When I saw you in the Minecraft Let's Plays and how you'd go quiet when you were getting serious or when people would gang up on you, I just thought how much we were alike. And you running Extra Life, damn, you were a great person and represented the older gaming community so well.
I was at the very first lets play live. It was such I cool experience. I actually spotted myself in this video! Great work Jack!
Finally got to sit and watch, thanks for everything you did at RT and all the laughs you helped bring. Can't wait to see what you do next.
As a recent college grad it's incredibly hard getting in industry and one of my biggest fears is stability. I can't imagine what it feels like especially after everything you've put into it over the last almost 2 decades. I love RoosterTeeth and you, and wish nothing but the best. Seeing this makes me hopeful for myself and you. You'll forever be a part of the core memories of so many, never forget that!
Jack achievement hunter the musical and extra life are by far some of my favorite content! Thank you so much for making them happen and can't wait to see what's next for you.
Thank you Jack. I watched every bit of rt and ah content for years and I wish you nothing but the best!
Thank you for all that you’ve done over the years Jack - an inspiration to us all. Wishing you and the rest of the Rooster Teeth team the best moving forward.
peter pan golf is so fun. there is this nice BBQ place right net to it. so many memories at that intersection. good luck to whatever endeavors you go on next man!
I've been watching Achievement hunter since i was 17. I'm 30 now and I just got the news that Rooster Teeth shut down. Thank you for all the work and entertainment Jack. We love you.
You had a hand in cultivating so much of the great parts of roosterteeth i hope you continue to do so wherever you land!
Internet legend that just keeps being awesome! Thank you for so many awesome and fun videos and memories. Always excited to see more
We are forever grateful for your work and the laughs you and Rooster Teeth brought the internet.. Thank you!
Thank you so much for all the memories over the years, Jack. You and the guys have brought so much joy to my life while AH was still around and it will forever be apart of my life that I look back on and remember. Hope to see you rocking on in the future with more awesome productions or whatever you may end up doing
People always say “never meet your idols”, but I’m glad I met y’all. Absolutely amazing individuals to the core, and as a collective unit, absolutely untouchable in talent and charisma. I’m so thankful to have been able to watch y’all from about 10 years old to now being 28.
We are in the same boat! I completely miss the RT/AH gang!
you may have not been a founder but you were a foundation Jack, your content helped me through a lot of things and i honestly can't wait to see what is next for you.
Thank you so much for all of the hardwork and passion that you put into your work, Jack! I watched so much of the content that you produced or partcipated in for about the past 10 years. You are one of the most dedicated entertainers ive ever had the pleasure of watching. Watching this, it's clear to me how considerate you are of your community and how you put them into mind when sharing your own creative vision. Please know that there are many people that you impacted, including myself, and many that wish the best for you as you continue to move onto new projects!
Hey Jack, I was featured years ago on Fails of the Week, I loved watching RoosterTeeth and following Achivement Hunter over the years. I wish you the best of luck and hope you keep us updated because I know so many people would love to see what you do in the future.
Thank you for all the content you were a part of and just a huge thank you in general.
It was so fun seeing all these old projects that you and the others worked so hard for. I totally teared up when you went over LPL, that was the best night of my life for the longest time and still nothing compares. Thank you for everything you and the rest of RT did!!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Jack! You are immensely talented and anyone that hires you will be better for it. I look forward to seeing what is next!
Jack, you are an amazing person and presenter, thank you for all the laughs and I hope to (and I'm sure I will) see more greatness from you
From a longtime fan (and i mean, from before you even started at RT) I cannot thank you enough for the endless amount of entertainment youve provided me over the years. There isnt enough praise in the world that i can give that would do justice to the work you did. You were instrumental, indespensible, and always incredible. I truly wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. I wish that i had more to give you, as it hardly measures up to everything youve given me over the years. Thanks again, and good luck my friend!
I was just watching all of Phoenix's "Best of Jack" videos, you brought so much joy to me for the years I watched RT. I randomly found "Fails of the Weak" early in its time and was a fan of you immediately. As someone who is usually the older person in friend groups aka the mom, I think I resonated with you and your humor especially because of that.
Always felt bad that fans seemed to dislike you in the early Minecraft days but seems like people really warmed up to you and I am so glad. Thank you for all the amazing laughs with AH and IG, and all your hard work on the charity streams. You're amazing Jack!
Thank you for being you, both Geoff and you were remodels to me growing up. Started out at 6 years old watching RvB and now being 24 seeing Rooster Teeth close its story, you have always been an inspiration to me from the way you hold yourself to how you interact with those around you. Thank you for being you cant wait to see what you cook up in the future, keep being you!
‘what’s up guys it is jack from achievement hunter’ 9 words that defined my childhood. i would have given up on gaming as soon as i went to college if it wasn’t for y’all. specifically you and geoff. rvb and ah were all i watched as a teenager and it makes me so happy that you are continuing to make content to this day
The talent, passion and dedication shows through all of the work you've done. Further, there's a level of quality that comes from many of the shows and events you were apart of, and it's not hard to see that a lot of it stemmed from your vision and input. Thank you for being such a great talent, a fantastic entertainer, and an inspiration for up and coming creatives, Jack!
You guys are the greatest. Gave me some great memories. Grew up watching ah. Much love
Thanks for all of it, man. I didn't watch all of RT's content, but I've been a fan since near the beginning, and I've seen all of these things you were part of. Sad RT's days are over, but grateful to have had them, and excited to see what the future holds!
It's mind blowing how multi-talented Jack is. So many great memories over the years. And although 15 years sounds like a long time, it's impressive just how much Jack and AH have achieved in that time. Can't wait to see what's next.
You are an amazing talent, Jack, thanks so much for everything from a 10-year-plus fan. Sending love and also the Extra life streams were some amazing highlights for me
This was awesome Jack thank you so much for sharing. You did so many incredible things at Rooster Teeth and I can't wait to see what you do next (maybe more annual pass maybe?!).
Stopped watching RT around 2016 and havent seen you for a while Jack, but youre looking better than ever!! I cant thank you enough for all the laughs you gave me when I was a kid, yall were seriously formative during my adolescence. Best of luck in any projects going forward, youre awesome!!!
Thank you for all your hard work, the entertainment and joy you've brought all of us doesn't go unappreciated
this is genuinely making me tear up, im 27 and have been watching for as long as i can remember, thank you for the lifetime of laughs
Thank you Jack, there's no words for how much i loved almost ALL of this content and how much it impacted me.
God, what an amazing look back. Me and my brother grew up watching you make all these amazing things, I can’t wait to see what you make next!
Jack, you are a beam of brilliant, kind light in a dark world. I hope you can continue to do things you love for the rest of your life. I can't wait to see what's next. Much love.
Thanks for all you’ve done over the years, Annual Pass was one of my favorite projects of yours
What an insane nostalgia trip... as a watcher, nearly all of these projects are dear to my adolescence, I can only imagine how it feels to be in your position. Best of luck in future projects, can't wait to see what the mind behind my favorite shows has in store. Thanks for all the memories; we're waiting, watching, and cheering for you no matter what.
Thank you so much for this video, Jack. It is so bittersweet reminiscing about all of this content in the midst of the shutdown of RT. I think I'm gonna go back and watch some of my favorites again. I can't wait to see what you and everyone else do next.
I am so thankful for all you have done for AH and the projects you created. AH is what got me through some hard times by being the entertainment I needed in life, especially between 2011-2013 cause I unknowingly was dealing with severe depression. You made me laugh so much that it made me forget my depression. Personally I thank you for being the Heart of AH that was bursting with ideas and love. I hope to see you again in future content.
Jack, you continue to be one of the most wholesome, supportive, and genuine creators I keep watching on YT. I've loved all of your work and look forward to wherever you go next!
Jack has always been an inspiration of mine for probably about a decade now. He was always my favorite AH member and I can’t say how much I appreciate all the work you’ve done all these years! Thank you kind sir!
Thanks for the memories, thank you for all your effort to keep the ships you've run afloat through stormy seas. Best of luck
While it is sad rt came to an end this video made me happy and excited to follow your guys individual journeys. Can’t wait to see where you go and the great things you do Jack ❣️
Jack you were the heart and soul of AH and watching your time at RT over the years has been a joy. Here's to you keeping the same passion and energy in all your future projects beyond RT
I pray for everything to work out for you Jack. Thank you for all the fantastic work over your these years. Take care friend
The OG and one and only Jack Pattillo. I remember watching AH from day one. You guys got me hooked. Then you guys hired Ray and Michael at RTX on the spot. Gavin living with Geoff was one of the best videos. Thank you for helping me through my childhood. ❤
Been down cause of RT going away. Not as much as i thought i was but enough to feel like my childhood just left. Idk if you'll read this jack but thanks to you and geoff and everyone else at RT for many years of laughter and thanks to the AH guys for such great memories of friends just messing around playing games.
Thank you for EVERYTHING.
Jack, you’re a legend. The purest of heart, and I appreciate all that you’ve done.
Thank you for all the years of amazing content, I will miss the Extra Life livestreams the most and I hope to see your shining face doing something awesome soon!
Thank you for sharing Jack. I was 18 when I first started watching Rooster Teeth content. Watching you and the AH guys really was a big part of my life for at least 10 years. At some point, life caught up with me and I wasn't able to watch as much. But I still tried to catch as much videos as I could. Thank you for countless hours of laughs! It really meant a lot!
I remember being 12 years old, binging Halo Reach after school, and it was you and Geoff's commentaries on Fails of the Weak that made me discover and follow Rooster Teeth. It's so lovely to see in reflection after all these years that Rooster Teeth had such a positive impact to yourself, just as much as the fans that grew up with them. I don't like picking favorites, but I don't think I would've been hooked to Achievement Hunter without your contribution Jack. You're a legend with a heart of gold, pal. Good luck!
