"Funhaus is a Rooster Teeth thing.
Funhaus is a bunch of people who play games. Does that mean we only play games? No - we've also got podcasts and fan Qs&As...about games.
Mainly.
We're Adam Kovic, Bruce Greene, James Willems, Lawrence Sonntag, Elyse Willems, Matt Peake, Omar de Armas, Dan Schneider, Don Casanova, Jacob Fullerton, and Adam Brouillard. We'll play everything from GTA to the crappiest games we can find. We'll also be doing regular news content with The Know (Mondays and Wednesdays), Let's Play, event coverage, live streams, fan events, and collaborations with any Rooster Teeth friends and colleagues who wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with us.
