Is anyone else being bombarded with badges?!

To my knowledge at least

Yes, it's rather frustrating to do all of the clicky-nonsense to clear my inbox.

As for the reason, I believe it's because they're doing badges for some of the series that didn't have any of their own.

ZP and EC both started making badges, and since you've already met their requirements, you get the badges right away.

Extra Credit and Zero Punctuation got badges on there videos and if you have seen all of the currently posted ones you would have received; 14 badges (so far)

Hmm sure I only got like 5 of them, yet I have seen all the videos, guess it got something to do with commenting on them, no?

Yup, it's a new batch o' them good ol' badges!
I haven't gotten that many, a couple from Extra Credits and ZP but nothing else.

Yup, got a load of Extra Credits ones (about 6) earlier all at once. A few days ago I got quite a remarkable amount of Zero Punctuation ones despite the fact that I haven't watched it in months.

Well, way back in the day pretty much every show except ZP got badges, I guess to incentivize watching some of the other material the site had to offer. It woul seem they decided it was time to give ZP, as well as some of the shows that have been added since then, badges as well.

Personally speaking, I think it's kind of silly to give us badges just for watching videos, but it's not like it hurts anything.

Yeah.

And some don't even make sense. Not talking about one's like "Conditioned" but ones where I don't think I actually fulfilled the requisites.

I just got the badge "Synergy" which says that I watched an episode of The Big Picture after Choice and Conflict. I don't think that is actually true as I have only watched the first episode of The Big Picture and haven't watched another since.

First thing that popped to mind when I saw it was. (I must really have ticked someone on Religions and Politics forums off)

It's cause we're all so gosh darn great and we deserve badges for our greatness.
About damn time we were awarded stuff for some reason, if you ask me.

Also, I appreciate the greenery of everyone's profile ala EC badges. I hope nobody ever wins anything again because of that.

AHHHHHHHH too many badges!!!

I keep thinking people are responding to my clever witty posts but it's just another Extra Credits badge.

Yeah...most recently I one called "vox populi". That had me excited for a bit...I mean, presumably that's Latin for "voice of the people", that has to be something cool.

You get that once you comment on an extra credits video.

[small]I sorta wonder if they'd still have given me one if I'd just said "first" 30 seconds after it was put up. Suspension and badge for the same post.[/small]
