Who Still Watches Extra Credits?

[Snoozer]

I still watch it, I see no reason not to. It's a good show and that didn't change.

 

[Giest4life]

I still watch it, but it's annoying to watch the commercials.

 

[Princess Rose]

I watch both it and Checkpoint (formerly ENN) regularly. ^^

I'm a little sad they moved it to Wednesday, though - I have nothing new to watch on Thursdays anymore.

I still watch it. In fact, I am less likely to come to the Escapist because they have lost their best academic view into the world of games. If EC didn't end up in a place that is a better fit for them, Id seriously question coming to the Escapist at all. Escapist seriously lost out when EC left.

Also, it is found on a game-centric site. Penny Arcade may kind of have a slightly broader focus sometimes, but gaming is still the central focus by a long shot.

I put this thread here because EC is about games. Place this thread wherever you wish Mod Overlords.

Anyhow, I'm wondering who here on the Escapist still watches EC even after it left, and still after it left Youtube.

If you do, does it still carry the same effect?

I still watch it. For me the effect has gone down a little only because it isn't found on a gaming centric site anymore. It isn't quite as empowering. Penny Arcade is a gaming site, but the Escapist is entirely centered around discussing about games etc. You know what I mean.

Yes.

Yes, I do.

In short, yes.

Oh yeah, I still watch them.

Thanks guys, I'd been wondering where they'd gone *goes straight to Penny Arcade*

 

[LilithSlave]

Of course. Extra Credits was the only thing I ever watched on this site. Yahtzee annoys the heck out of me.

I still watch it. I actually prefer it on youtube since I can now view it at a higher quality and on my ipod. I do feel sorry for both Escapist and the ExtraCredits. Neither can be making as much as they would normally would.

I wondered where the EC banner went, I swear you guys read in my mind sometimes.

Wait, Penny Arcade is where Tycho Brahe is from, right?

He is like one of my favourite charaters of all time, especially from that game of theirs.

Yeah, I still watch it, and it's still awesome. They have been giving some of the best commentary on video games as a medium and a cultural phenomenon for their entire existence, and that does not change simply because they're on a different website.

I still watch it.
It was by far my favourite show on The Escapist.
I kinda like the way that it's now in HD on PA. Although I keep forgetting that it's on a Wednesday now. Their Twitter account reminds me though.

 

[McMullen]

PA was already part of my morning routine along with the Escapist, so no change. It's nice for there to be something reliably good on PATV between PAtS seasons anyway, since Blamimations is more miss than hit IMO. Still, Checkpoint is usually good.

 

[Smertnik]

Of course. I watched EC when they started posting videos on YouTube. I continued watching them when they moved to Escapist. And I'll keep on watching them, as long as they keep posting videos somewhere.

You know you could just install adblocker or noscript to FF for free?

OT: yeah I still watch it, no loss of impact here. Although I can't wait for Alison to be back, these visiting artists are a bit hit and miss.

Huh? Why did this post receive a warning? I'm greatly confused.

 

[Bvenged]

When did it move?

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Kind of a black sheep here when I say I never have had the interest to watch it. Check my badges, I don't have a single badge for watching Extra Credits.

 

[Dorian6]

Nope. Penny Arcade bores me and I won't go there to watch EC.

This and the fact I'm not willing to watch a 30+ second ad before everyone. Yay to the PubClub!

That has to be the lamest reason ever. "I don't want to spend 30 extra seconds waiting for a video. Who cares if the Extra Credits guys get ad revenues from it? I'm a busy man. Stop wasting my time!"

Also, doesn't the Escapist have ads before their videos?

 

[Comrade_Beric]

I followed them to youtube but had to quit watching when James decided to make a Very Special Episode [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VerySpecialEpisode]...

 

[Dorian6]

Yes, I still watch it every week.

And no, I don't feel like it's less effective for being hosted by Penny Arcade.

If youre the kind of person to turn it off because of where its hosted, you're the one who needs to watch it most.

That post got a warning because one of the forum rules is that you can't post something saying that you or someone should or does use ad-blocks. They don't like us talking about ad-blocks because it hurts their ad money when someone uses it.
