Announcement: We're Going to the Escapist. WEEKLY.

At last, the big news! See video announcement here.

That's right: we've been picked up by The Escapist and we'll be airing a new episode every Thursday. I can't begin to describe how psyched I am.

Of course, now the show needs a title. Fear not. We've got it covered. Our show will now be officially known as Extra Credit.

... or possibly Extra Credits. I'll have to check.

Anyway, we start this week. If you've got some topic ideas, shoot us an email at extracreditz@gmail.com. See ya in a few days!

  1. Oh wow, that is sooooo awesome :D

    I already regularly watch and read Yahtzee's stuff there, and now I'll get your videos too :D

    There had better be an RSS-feed on there to make it easy though ;)

  2. Are they based in North Carolina? They had a booth at a conference back in April I attended.

  6. Sounds great. Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing more of your work :)

    But I have to say that I don't like the Extra Credit name very much - yet. Maybe it will change in the future, though, but right now I don't find it very telling for your show (not that "Talking about these" was a more describing title :P).

    Good luck!

  7. We did think about using Talking About These briefly, but I'm not really going to be using that catchphrase in the show much anymore so the title would probably just end up being an in-joke.

  8. So, does that mean you won't post on ScrewAttack anymore? *sad*

    And wait, you're not gonna say "My name is this, and I'm here to talk about these" anymore? Oh man, I'm gonna miss that... But, if it is for the better, than we shall move on!

    Now brb, advertising your show on the There Will Be Brawl forums. =P

  14. It feals great that i found out about it visiting this blog rather than finding it on the escapist Thursday. Don't ask me why.

    Given that your stile goes in the ways of yathze's zero punctuation (actually was inspired by it), and that he has a weekly column called Extra Punctuation, i think the title "extra credits" could be taken as too much similarity in one thing to another thing.

    Just saying i know you guys have probably spent good time thinking this one out but with the escapist's community you don't want to start off with the wrong foot.


    Also you got a job at pixar?!
    Thats what the image on the youtube video made me think. Pixar AND the escapist! if so you are the luckiest man alive!

  15. I sent you an e-mail.

    And GREAT JOB at getting that job at Pixar! Pixar's the best! No really, they're about as awesome as... Well, you! They're great people, so you'll fit in just fine!

    P.S.

    While you're at Pixar, give word to one of the higher-ups that plenty of fans still want to see the movie "newt" that recently got canceled.
