Rooster Teeth is giving its fans more gaming content to consume through an all-new channel based not in Texas, but on the West Coast. The Austin production company famous for animated web series like Red vs. Blue and Rwby has launched the Funhaus channel which will create content from Rooster Teeth’s newly-formed Los Angeles office.

Funhaus will feature content from gaming veterans Adam Kovic, Bruce Greene, Lawrence Sonntag, James Willems, Joel Rubin, Matt Peake, and Sean Poole. The seven cast members are already known online from Machinima’s old Inside Gaming department, and have previously appeared on season two of Rooster Teeth’s competition show The Gauntlet.

The Funhaus guys will not only play games on their channel, but will also release a podcast, cover related events, participate in fan Q&A sessions, contribute to Rooster Teeth’s news show The Know, and appear on Rooster Teeth’s video podcast.
