I know, isn't it awful that he's now a regular show and getting money for the work he does? Man, what an arsehole.
Oh. Now that you bring it up... i have indeed forgotten he'll get money for this. That makes it better.

Joy!

I've always enjoyed his videos. Now we get one every week. Good stuff.

Ah, I remember seeing him a little while back.
Should be good. Seems like it could be funny.

Now if we can only get rid of I hit it with my axe....
I was kinda hoping it would be that pocket monster series from the last contest but so far this looks pretty good as well!

I've seen a couple of this guy's segments and I'm impressed.

Also, he hinted that he works for Pixar. What does he do there?

The Escapist will be seeing a new series starting Thursday called "Extra Credit".
Yep! I think it's actually called "Extra Credits" though. Or at least I hope it is, otherwise all the art for the videos is wrong ;)

Why hasn't this been announced in Featured Content or anywhere on the site for that matter, did I miss it.
Dunno the exact reasons, but most of our launches aren't announced in advance.

Definitely very informative guy, but we've got what, 3/4 people doing regular articles on game design/ethics?
Well, we're kind of big on that here. We want to get more people thinking about those kind of things. One of the main reasons we started this site to begin with was to cover more of this kind of thing than just the basic preview/review stuff.

I'm pretty sure they're still working on that one. At least, they still were last I heard. It's still on the list of 'future videos' at least.

Meh, looks kind of weird to me. I'll check it out but I doubt I will watch very many of them. Just looks like what we already have here but in bad animation format.

Some kind of machinema show or something would be cool. Where's that guy who made that scream-at-everything Fallout 3 comedy machinema vid thing. Now that would make a funny show.
This is pretty much what I think. I would love to see some Machinima. If only RVB wasn't already stable and able to work on their own.

*EDIT* Double post, my bad.

New things are always welcome, I'll give his youtube videos a watch and if they are alright I'll certainly watch them here. I'm hoping this is a change in direction from the last couple of new shows on the escapist which I personally did not like (Game Dogs and I hit it with my axe).

Though as others have pointed out, we have quite a few people like this already and that might mean he just seems like a copy of others. But we'll see in due time and I hope he's good.

I can't say any negative things about him other then his voice just sounds kinda unfit for videos, but I'll withold judgement until I see it for myself.
well if you watch his videos he has now on youtube you will quickly get used to it and see that his videos and very insightful.

I cant wait for this. I have been waiting for a new episode for a while. :)

Very nice to hear this. I've recently discovered him and I'm happy to see him spread his wings quite this wide.

Oh, I'm not saying its a video breaking element, its a minor annoyance sure, but it doesn't take away from the entire video. I'm not a big fan of Ben Croshaw's voice either, but I still like watching his critiques.

Never heard of him before, but after watching some of them I found that those are actually pretty funny.

Looking forward to seeing it here.

love this guys look at games in an educational perspective, Him moving here is actually the reason i finally signed up for an acount rather than just watch the vids, read the articles and be on my way. From what i've seen of the community here, he should easily be able to find a niche of regular viewers.

I've actually watched his stuff on YouTube, it's really good. It's just that updated like twice every year, had kind of forgotten he existed :-/

Ah well, it's quality>quantity anyway ^^
