Poll: Favourite feature on the Escapist except ZP?

[Hugga_Bear]

So Escapists (escapists?) what's your favourite feature (video/comic series) on the Escapist except Zero Punctuation and why?

Mine is Extra Credits, I like the insight they give and hearing opinions from a side which, partially at least, represents the industry. Pretty much every other source is either ridiculously biased for the industry or set apart from it so it's a refreshing viewpoint. Plus they cover some pretty interesting subjects too.

I don't want ZP in it because I get the feeling every vote will be for Yahtzee, no offence to the man, I enjoy his stuff but I want to see what people feel about the other options up there.

By the by I searched, there was another thread like this but the options were really out of date, kinda wanted to know how people feel about the new guys.

Miracle Of Sound for me, because he just makes great music. Wonder when his Half Life 2 song is getting uploaded to Escapist...

A close call between the valuable geek info from The Big Picture, and the experience of Extra Credits, but Extra Credits wins this one for me. There's just so much gold in every video.

Extra Credits. Awesome stuff, I love it!
Of the new shows, my favourite is PgG.

Spoiler: Err...

Anyway, currently running series? I like Feed Dump a lot but Unskippable will always be my favorite of the LRR contributions to this site. Outside of LRRville, I love MiracleofSound's work enough to create the fanclub

 

[FinalHeart95]

Miracle of Sound. The guy is really really good, lots of talent there.

And, really, all of the shows are hit-and-miss for me besides like Extra Credits and Big Picture.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Unforgotten Realms.
And that is even if you include ZP.

 

[SpaceBat]

Probably Escape to the movies or extra credits. Both have their flaws, such as Bob insulting people a bit too much (Leave that to Yahtzee) and sometimes acting like an elitist and Extra Credits sometimes taking five minutes to explain something obvious and holding and talking to you as if you're a child while doing so.

Still, they're usually the most enjoyable vids outside of ZP.

The worst would be Critical Miss, which is just unfunny.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Everything Bob does

id say Unskipable, but the last 10 or so episodes just didnt work that well for me

 

[Volstag9]

Unforgotten Realms! - oh wait...

well Dorealous & Associates? - damn...

I guess Miracle of Sound currently, while i like Extra Credits i suppose that show just doesn't appease me for a number of reasons.

 

[GoldenRaz]

ZP isn't my favourite feature...

Anyhoo, since the older stuff aren't alternatives (Doomsday Arcade would then take the cake with There Will Be Brawl coming in second), I'll go with The Big Picture and Escape to the Movies sharing that honour. Extra Credits isn't as good as it used to be (somewhat preachy nowadays, is all) and the rest just isn't all that exciting in my opinion.

 

[Agarth]

Miracle of Sound. I was actually listening to it while answering. Fire in Your Hole ftw.

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Was Doomsday Arcade, still is Doomsday Arcade. Especially since it only stopped because it was actually finished rather than because the plot was blindly corkscrewing all over the place like Unforgotten Realms.

 

[Trololo Punk]

Either Extra credits or The Big Picture.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

I love Critical Miss, I miss Doomsday Arcade though

 

[steeple]

Miracle Of Sound for me, because he just makes great music. Wonder when his Half Life 2 song is getting uploaded to Escapist...

my guess? september 9th (or somewhere near that date)...

OT: extra credits (yeah, I'm original, wanna fight about it?!), but if that wasnt an option it would have been either LLR/unskippable for the awesome humor, or miracle of sound for the outstanding music...

special mentions go to unforgotten realms (which shant be forgotten!) and D&A...

 

[WinkyTheGreat]

I voted for Extra Credits but it's a tie between Movie Bob's shows and Extra Credits for me

 

[poppabaggins]

I would have voted for Extra Punctuation, but I'm guessing that doesn't count. I find that each paragraph of EP contains better game-design knowledge than a full episode of Extra Credits.

I went with the Big Picture, even though MovieBob occasionally makes me question his intelligence (read: disagrees with me on something).

 

[Gigathrash]

I really like Feed Dump, I voted for Extra Credits however because it is a very well made and thought out show and always offers insights into the seedy underbelly of game development.

But seriously, Feed Dump is hilarious.
