I got about 7 badges related to the videos. Though, I believe they were all correct. Most were for Apocalypse Lane, which I've seen every episode of, and two were for Doomsday Arcade, likewise. I'm not that in to the Escapist Show, but I'm pretty sure I've seen at least two, which would explain that badge.
hwen i logged in today, i got my Neo badge and that's about it and it was a correct badge for me to get
Yeah I got one for watching two episodes of the escapist show and then felt instantly guilty that I never even bothered. It's like getting a birthday card from someone you haven't spoken to in years.
I just got one for watching the Escapist Show. I don't hold the majority of these badges in very high esteem, though some are pretty cool. I appreciate the thought in the gift, but it is not my very favorite present.
To sum-up: meh

Ok, perhaps I phrased my point wrong.The Infamous Scamola said:
They gain nothing from people getting extra views. They aren't paid by the view, so it's just their way of saying 'Hey, we have a video series, why not check it out?'.
I'm pretty sure views make a difference, hits = revenue or something. And the site isn't going to keep up a series that nobody watches.Gilbert Munch said:
What surprises me is the sheer number of new ones, and the cool designs for some of them. What are they gonna do next, badges for 'You've read x number of article y by Escapist Z! Congratulations!' or 'You read the pilot article for a new series!'
I guess it's a good means of getting a few more views for some of shows, but really now? It's cool, though, I guess. At least they look spiffy.

Sigh, really? Trust me, the videos are watched plenty often on their own. And the reason why there are no Zero Punctuation badges yet is simply because the script is running top to bottom through the series. We have been wanting to hand out some badges based on our content for a while now, and if this was a simple grab for views why would we make it retro-active? If you don't like them then no big deal, you're entitled to your opinion. But I am sure some people would appreciate being able to show off that they enjoy X, Y or Z series.The Infamous Scamola said:
Yeah, one for the genre wars thing, got one that said I've won more than one battle consecutively, and I never won one battle (To my knowledge).
I tip my hat to you, as I hope to also achieve the real ultimate poster badge someday.cleverlymadeup said:
OT: I've never gotten the wrong badge, but I was surprised that I got the show badges, I didn't know they existed
