History Trivia / AchievementHunter

* RoleEndingMisdemeanour: In early October, 2020, it came to light that Ryan Haywood had been cheating on his wife with fans from the community, including one woman who was only 17 at the time. Naturally, he stepped down from the company and the rest of AH were understandably quite devastated.

** In early October, 2020, they cancelled several streams and the release of several videos in the wake of Ryan Haywood's actions coming to light (see RoleEndingMisdemeanour above).

* WeInterruptThisProgram: From January 31 through February 2, 2015, no videos were released due to Creator/MontyOum's hospitalization and subsequent death.

** Tweets from Jack have implied they won't use facecams for regular videos because they get pestered to, a lot. They use them ''on occasion'', not all the time.
*** Though they have been using them more often in recent years.
** Not to mention, ''VS'' and ''GO!'' both have recorded the Hunters on-camera (though not through facecams) as they play their games; the latter uses a camera ''all the time'' due to the unique nature of the series.
** Most of the group have been a little cynical towards their fandom. This can be due to many things including comments complaining about videos being uploaded late, hateful comments towards anyone not in the "main six" (most notably, Lindsay has been the subject of sexist comments), being shown sexual fan art of them kissing or even having sex with their friends/coworkers and more. However, the biggest annoyance they face is constantly having their "catchphrases" or even just things they've said once being constantly tweeted to or messaged to them in some way. This specifically happened to Ray which led to him from being one of the loudest and most talkative to being the quietest out of being afraid of creating a new phrase to be constantly hounded by on Twitter. Also at RTX 2014, the Achievement Hunter panel was full of uncomfortable questions and people just requesting shoutouts. It got so annoying that when one fan was up to ask a question he first said, "I have a real question," which led to the Hunters and eventually the audience cheering.
** In TTT, they stopped using some character models because of inconsistent hitbox detection. They still use a couple models with this problem because they’re consistent and predictable, funny, or too cool not to use.

** The live ''Theater Mode'' taping at RTX 2019 was unanimously decided by everyone in attendance that it would never come out because the movie in question was so egregiously offensive and SoBadItsHorrible that nobody in the cast, camera crew, or audience enjoyed it.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first videos were more about actually achievement guides and Easter egg videos - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3VPEiXT-wA first-ever video]] was ''VideoGame/BurnoutParadise'', where Jack showed players an easy way to get one million points in the game's Stunt Run mode. Then the channel became more and more about {{Lets Play}}s and other gaming experiences where the crew went bonkers.

*** Uberhaxornova also hated doing ''Let's Play Live''s, though it wasn't disdain for the concept so much as him being absolutely ''[[PerformanceAnxiety terrified]]'' while up on stage in front of so many people, and he implied that had to get himself shit-faced drunk to actually go through with it.
** On Ray's ask.fm, he also mentioned [[NoodleIncident an incident]] where the AH team was presented with a video idea from higher ups, only for them to refuse to do it. Geoff ended up arguing with an unnamed executive for weeks on the matter, until the executive outright [[ExecutiveMeddling forced]] the team to take on the project. Luckily, whatever it was was [[LostEpisode never released]], but it was still bad enough for Ray to describe the experience as "[[BrutalHonesty fucking embarrassing]]."

* {{Defictionalization}}: Michael mentions how he found a glossary of the Achievement Hunters' made-up words for damage degrees and having to correct it, leading to jokes about the non-existent "The Gavin Free Dictionary". To no one's surprise, fan versions of exactly that sprung up days later.

* ActorAllusion: In various Let's Plays, whenever players are designated a color, Geoff will more often than not be orange ([[Machinima/RedVsBlue Grif]]'s color).
** When Michael, Jeremy, Ryan and Lindsay played ''VideoGame/RWBYGrimmEclipse'', there was a LOT of this, from the obvious Lindsay playing as Ruby, to more subtle nods like the gang telling Ryan to shut up when Professor Port spoke in game.

** Ray is ''not'' proud of his year-long stint as [[TookALevelInJerkass Angry Ray]], and apologized profusely for it at RTX 2016, explicitly [[IHatePastMe admitting that he was an asshole]] and shouldn't have lashed out at his coworkers like he did.
