I enjoy it. To me, it's one of the better shows on the site. It's interesting to hear his opinions on the industry, and how the industry could improve.

I was watching it back when it was on youtube and ScrewAttack. It's one of the best series on the site. Certainly better than ZP.
*Checks poll* There are people who don't like it? Where are the tar and feathers?

Kind of. It's very imformative and interesting which is great, but this only makes me wonder why it's delivered in animated form with a 130% speed voiceover. To me "animation and squeeky voices" doed not mix with "imformative frank discusion on a given subject". It's like if your lecturer gave all his lectures through a hand puppet.

That being said it's still good.

It's good, but I will admit the ones on Youtube were better. Dunno why actually, maybe it's graphic differences what with the new "animator"? I dunno, I still vote Yay on this.

Extra Credits is the one thing I'm waiting eagerly for every week. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of the Escapists' series, but it's by far and away my favourite. I love hearing and talking about what makes games fun - where the medium is and where it's going. It's got a lot of substance to it, and it talks about what I find interesting in games. So yeah. It's fantastic.

Yes, I actually watched the videos that were on youtube, before the series even had a name.

I really like it. It got me interested enough to see his YouTube series of lectures, which is also incredibly good. They're informative without being boring, and they can be pretty funny when it feels like it.

No, I don't really like Extra Credits. I watched a couple episodes, but it's not my sort of appeal.
Opinionated jackass person.

(Just my opinion, why must I be called a troll?)
Because you're directly flaming Zero Punctuation.
Just word it less harshly and people won't call you out on it...

I like it for the most part, but if you've given any serious thought to video games in the past, they haven't really said anything unique or revolutionary. Big publishers should give indie developers a chance? Most already do. God of War 1 was consistent but 2 and 3 massively shat all over the story? I've been saying that since April. No one can compete with WoW's installed user base? Shocking!

Again, I'm enjoying it as of now, but only so far as it reinforces what people have already been discussing on the Escapist for quite some time.

The voice is terrible, though.
