A view of some of Toy Joy's Rooster Teeth merchandise

One wonders when the crew at Rooster Teeth sleeps. Not only did the gaming culture and cult Web series creators raise $442,389 for the Extra Life charity this weekend (with a little help from a foul-mouthed LeVar Burton), but also managed to drop two more newsworthy items today.

First off came the announcement that Rooster Teeth will be teaming up with local, prolific developer Team Chaos to make a game called Rooster Teeth vs. Zombiens. Few details have been released about the game, but it looks to feature some recognizable personalities which should go over well with RT’s fan base. The game is slated to hit stores (App Stores, most likely) before Thanksgiving.

If that weren’t enough, Rooster Teeth also unveiled their new, permanent merch area at Toy Joy. Need to get the latest RWBY plush doll or perhaps an Achievement Hunter scarf? Don’t go online and wait for the delivery man. It’s on the shelf at Toy Joy for your instant gratification. TJ and RT will host a meet and greet on November 15 so you can get a picture with your favorite web personality while you sport the latest in Rooster Teeth fashion and accessories.
