While I can imagine how this would be annoying to regulars, I would have been disappointed to not see a topic like this. Extra Credits is a good show, and fans want to know what happened to it. Until I saw a topic out of the corner of my eye about it, I just assumed that Extra Credits was taking a break due to the surgery.
It was a pleasant surprise to see Extra Credits come back to life when I was just expecting to see a Penny Arcade comic. No offense to Yahtzee, not that he cares, but I look forward to Extra Credits more than Zero Punctuation.
It's a shame, what happened to both The Escapist and Extra Credits. I guess that's why they added the footar. I think I'll get something from the store, or maybe a publisher's club membership.
