this is like a deep cut from an old fandom so bear with me.
Man I was scrolling through all the old Achievement Hunter posts. I have stuff going backto like 2012 and even before that. God listening to old audios and videos and looking at old gif setsâŠ
They were everything to me. Michael, Gavin, Geoff, Jack, Ray, and even (yes Iâm going to mention him) Ryan. There was Lindsay and Matt Jeremy and Kdin and Adam Ellis. Trevor and Caleb.
The first Vs episode. The first Play Pals. Lazer Team. X-ray and Vav. RWBY. RvB.
Thereâs so many letâs plays that I rewatch a couple times of year. Play Pals Outlast (1&2). Play pals Super Bunny Man. Letâs play 3d Ultra Minigolf. Letâs Play Family Feud. Uno the Movie. All of the rage quits.
But I forgot how much they were like a family. They genuinely have a shit about each other. Even beyond the Gavin/Michael bromance they all cared so much. And it all went to shit because of Ryan.
I donât fully believe they would have stayed golden forever even without the incident. They would haves faded just like they are now. Hell Achievement Hunter doesnât even exsist anymore. Itâs been announced thatâs it officially retired and they started a new channel.
I watched it live and die. Ray left, and Geoff pulled way back to personal issues. The Ryan incident. Jeremy leaving for personal issues. Gavin pulling wayyyy back (Iâm not even sure heâs still involved in any capacity anymore.) Matt being fired (which was bullshit and Iâll die on that hill). Jack is still there.
The amount of shows they started and cancelled. Always open got cancelled again just a couple of days ago. They canât hold an audience anymore. It makes me sad. Their old videos have 2+ million views on individual videos. Now youâre hard pressed to find one break 100k.
Like idk. Nostalagia is a bitch I guess. To me, theyâre stilling in that shitty office with their desks on top of each other. Michael is yelling at Gavin, Gavin is making the loudest bird squawking noise youâve ever heard, Jack is affectionate laughing while working, Geoff is laughing hysterically in a corner about to piss his pants, Ray is trying to get away from the carnage while also film them, and Ryan is laughing in the doorway wondering what he just walked in on.
I donât man I wish it was 2014 and theyâre was a new Minecraft LP and GTA LP to look forward to every week.
