Anyone still watching Extra Credits?

[English Stew]

Hell I was watching them when they where on screwattack....why stop now?

I'm in the same boat as you, man. I still remeber when Daniel would put a disclamer that said he based the format on Zero Punctuation.

Also, following them onto PATV led me to find the continuation of ENN, which has been renamed Checkpoint. I would recommend that all LLR fans check it out.

Actually just watched this episode and was going to make a topic about Extra Credits and saw this thread. This is the ONLY time I have heard him swear in a show and it pretty much put my jaw to the floor.

Weird that it was bleeped considering Penny Arcade drops the F-bomb frequently enough.

They want to stay family oriented most likely so they don't want to swear.

Still watch it still brilliant, just because it moved doesn't mean its quality is going to downgrade right?

 

[RedDeadFred]

Never watched it to begin with. Only really come here for zp and the occasional forum talk.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Heck yeah.

They're the only thing I go on that site for, actually. EC is just that damn good.

 

[MustangVsEnvy]

Yes, still watching Extra Credits. It's an awesome show and though I don't keep up with it all the time I still really enjoy it.

As an indie designer, a small part of me feels as though I HAVE to keep watching, so I can take their advice, insights, and ideas to heart. However, the rest of me still watches them just because they're awesome. Long live Extra Credits!

 

[Jodah]

Yes, though sometimes not as regularly as I did here. I sometimes skip a week, but I will watch both episodes the following week so it works out.

While the topic of how good the content is on Penny Arcade is a topic for another day (I'll admit to being a long-time fan of them), I still do watch Extra Credits when it comes out on Penny Arcade. I was one of those few people who didn't get the news of where Extra Credits went, but I was shocked when one day I saw it pop up on Penny Arcade.

when they left the escapist, i was hoping PATV would pick them up, they did and it was awesome. while i don't always agree with their arguments i respect them for almost always using sound judgment and reasoning. I also watch the Loading ready run show "Checkpoint" on PATV.

I kind of like the PATV flash player better than the escapist's, it has never once crashed on me as opposed to the escapist flash player that has about a 7/10 success rate.

I am. It's my favorite show on the internet, and the only one I watch weekly. I also want to continue to show support, both for what they stand for, and to support their decision in leaving the escapist, as well as their actions leading up to that.

Of course, I still watch Extra Credits. You don't have to be a regular PA visitor to catch it. You can subscribe via RSS, Facebook, or Youtube.

 

[Eomega123]

Yep, I've got their page favorited. Go there every Wednesday.

 

[The Great JT]

Eh, depends on the context of the episode.

I used to watch them here. I really admired everything they said, word from word. However, they broke their morals when it came down to the issue with The Escapist. I thought they'd handle it much better, resolve the conflict and get back running episodes on here.

Nope.

They left... just like that. Sure, it was both parties fault.. yet I can't get over James getting lawyers first thing before even talking this out. Along those lines, I even gave them a shot on Youtube. It's not the same, so I stopped watching them. Yea, you can quote me and defend Extra Credits if you'd like but just know I felt betrayed personally. Just me though, and I know they needed money but just the way they handled that situation... it sort of reflects on how they preach in their videos. Bad impression overall.

Exactly that for me aswell, I liked them alot, I found some of their points valid..well some not so much, but they broke their own back here as they sadly showed their "real" face as soon as it came to money, really sad still, but my main point why I'm not watching them anymore.

Washing dirty laundry on a forum, knowing full well that this is going to blow up, because hell its the Internet, and than claiming that they didn't want to hurt TE is just downright lieing and you somehow have to wonder how much of their content is not just pretentious rumbling.

I just finished watching this week's episode about lazy game design. I wish the escapist could get another web-series to show on Thursdays. Some new animated show with a decent story-line. No Right Answer is cool and all but I want something I can really get invested in.

Agreed. For me, I show up on Mondays for The Jimquisition, Tuesdays for The Big Picture, Wednesdays for ZP, and Fridays for Escape to the Movies. With EC, that gave me something to look forward to every day (And pre-Jimquisition I just adopted a Garfield-esque stance on Mondays) but now...every Thursday is empty in my life.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

I still watch it.

Hell, without Extra Credits, the only reason I still come to the Escapist is for News and Critical Miss comics...
