Extra Credits, definitely. The Big Picture is good, but I'm not into movies, and Bob goes into them a lot.

It was actually Extra Credits that led me to The Escapist, back in my junior year. Me and a few friends were designing games for a college prep class, and I started looking up strong female characters, since the ones I designed (as the story/character guy) seemed a heck of a lot like copy-paste characters from a combination of J-RPGs and soap operas. Extra Credits has helped me as a developer more than anything else on the web, and that's over all those game dev forums.

Just recently found Miracle of Sound (recently, as in, a few minutes ago). I think I'm a fan.

Only two others voted for this, but Jimquisition. I don't care, I think he's funny, and he has some pretty intelligent stuff to say. I really liked it when he referred to Reggie Fils-Ami as "meaty". Funny stuff.

Unskippable is just behind that because they make me lol every time I watch.

ZP is considered a 'feature'? What's that make Yahtzee? An application?

I love the big picture, and moviebob in general.

Things I don't like, unskippable. Just seems to be really uninspired, and it's probably improvised as well. I'm not sure how it works, I just know I don't find it funny at all.

I voting for Unskippable. While I would of chosen Escape to the Movies but I tend to either agree or disagree with Moviebob but Unskippable had always made me laugh or at least a chuckles per episode.

I would have voted for Extra Credits, but the last two episodes of The Big Picture were really outstanding.

I'm going to have to go with the escapist podcast. If you've actually bothered to go for broke with it, it's pretty damn good.

From the options in thte poll, Extra Credits. They almost always give a deeper analysis of an aspect of a game, and I find it really interesting.

But my favourite, who wasn't mentioned in the poll, has gotta be Miracle of Sound. The guy's a genius! A new, awesome song every two weeks, and it always fits the tone of the game so well!

Loading ready run. I don't look into most of the vids and comics weekly anymore. Wasn't like back with UFR and Doraleouse where I'd be waiting for them to come out.

It has to be Extra Credits, with every episode I learn a new thing, and that can't be a bad thing

As much as I love Extra Credits, The Big Picture and the not listed Miracle of Sound, my favourite right now is Feed Dump. They never fail to brighten my day! =D

Other than Zero Punctuation, Moviebob. I love both of his shows and read the articles he does. At this point I like MovieBob's stuff more than ZP. Here's a quick top-5 though for things that keep me here:

5 - Jimquisition
4 - The Forums
3 - Zero Punctuation
2 - Big Picture
1 - Escape to the Movies

Numbers five and four are interchangeable though, depending on the week. Technically I guess The Forums should be number one since I don't spend all of my time watching and re-watching older videos. Also, before I forget, the reviews are great and I loves me some Unskippable.

I like The big Picture I did like Extra Credits until it got far to preachy and pretended to be a source on everything, honestly they were talking about the education system and their game designers anything they give is just a glorified oppinion.

Movie Bob however is up front with you telling you its an oppinion show and I can respect that more then what extra credits does
