New Episode on PATV!

[luaudesigndf]

Where do I find that Mario Bros Song? \o/

[Tinytw]

As much as I like to watch EC, I can't get myself to go to Penny Arcade to watch because there's this scary movie commercial/ad, and I cannot for the life of mine dare to even go on it again. XD

[karateburgess]

I am in China and for some reason I can't seem to watch videos on Penny Arcade, even with the proxy that allows me to view youtube and facebook etc.

Any suggestions?

[Imsocoolman5]

Thank goodness I found you guys again! I wondered where you went.

[Laughingblades]

You guys should monetize your youtube channel and make it a thing.

[artanis00]

I'm glad you found a home PATV, though I'm going to miss the days of YouTube, when I could watch your videos on my phone.

[LarryBundyJr]

Aw, it's a shame you didn't go on TGWTG. 

[lizard81288]

I don't think you can comment on PA. I liked reading them. :/

[ExtraCreditz]

@lizard81288 We're working on a solution to that. Ideally, we'll have a link straight to a discussion thread below each episode.

[lizard81288]

@ExtraCreditz

Will this be on PA or another site? Also, thanks for responding :)

[tumeg24]

@ExtraCreditz I feel neglected. I hope you upload the video on youtube.

[zippyzee]

this video reminds my of my nutsack

[squerintain]

Please upload the older episodes, i need to re watch the music in gaming one!

[ExtraCreditz]

@squerintain They should reappear on PATV pretty soon!

[TigerJessie33]

Smart

[elmalhermano]

its a reflex but i still find myself checking a new EC episode on "the website that shall not be named here"

[jad4400nav]

Penny Arcade? Awesome, yet another excellent reason to visit the site.

[tumeg24]

I wish they could upload the vid on youtube.

[Vylvan]

woah....every wednesdays....combined with yahtzee's material every week wednesdays just became my new favorite day :D

[Decliner]

I totally called it.

[MrNeeNaw]

I figured it'd be cooler if you guys stuck with youtube :(

But it's alright I guess, you need to make a decent income somehow.

[Isanion]

interesting...

a lot of the comments that were here yesterday expressing... shall we say, less than total enthusiasm for your new home, appear to have disappeared.

You're not censoring the comments are you? Cos if so my respect for you guys would take a bit of a knock...

[CheezecakeWarrior]

penny-arcade(dot)com/patv/show­/extra-credits

[lozeldatkm]

I had no idea Allison would be back as of this video. Glad to see it!

[Snakebite105]

Anyone know what hapend with the escapist vs extracreditz matter? Last I knew they were trying to take all the fund raiser money and keep their old episodes.

[CyberneticSoldier]

The video on PA isn't loading for me T_T

[CyberneticSoldier]

@CyberneticSoldier Yeah it's working now ^^

[theciircusfreak]

dude, you have your videos spread across 4 diffrent places now :P

[Hxarh]

Your Facebook comment list is gone... I liked it. why is it gone?

[cally2011]

Let the overflow on PATV begin

[xXSnowyXx]

If any of you guys read this, mark the new EC vids on blip.tv as public instead of private otherwise there's no way to RSS them (...unless there's gonna be a news post at penny-arcade every time a new video comes out, maybe they do that with videos...I usually wouldn't go there)

[seporokey]

Sooooo, where can we find the older episodes? You guys should have an archieve.

[viraticwars]

What? No more on Youtube?



[RandomnessMaster]

Are you going to be re-uploading your old videos onto PATV?

[Arcterran]

that was pretty interesting...

[DrAllecon]

I was concerned when all of a sudden, EC stopped showing new episodes. I was worried that maybe Allison had taken a bad turn after her surgery (thank God that's not it). I just wanted to say how much I love your show. Your insight into the gaming industry, and takes/helpful suggestions on improving games is wonderful.

Although I'm sad to see you're no longer a part of Escapist, I am thrilled to see that you're still making videos, and are now a part of PA!

Best wishes, and keep 'em coming!

[Roriok]

@DrAllecon No idea what you're talking about, extra credits has been coming out with a new episode every week. They went through a rough patch with the escapist, which is why they were on youtube for a while, but they still released an episode every week

[Errickfoxy]

I hope we can track it by RSS or something, I always manage to miss it otherwise.

[WinterXL]

yay!!

[No1RockLeet]

47 mnins and it has not loaded yet.... wow watching extra creditz now will be such a Pain xD, worth it but srsly 47 mins to load 6~ mins?

[CtrlAltDeleteStudios]

@No1RockLeet works fine for me.

[youmakeitwhatitis]

@No1RockLeet That doesn't sound right. Sounds like one of those temporary bandwidthfarts, if you will.

[No1RockLeet]

@youmakeitwhatitis I can watch YT just fine, and any other streaming media. But this page, it takes Aeons =(

[No1RockLeet]

icant watch it Q_Q



[No1RockLeet]

@No1RockLeet NVm,its just that it takes ages to load =_____='

[HH444]

great episodes guys! little short for my taste though...

[miyamotofan]

Should I bookmark the page you linked to, or will you let us know when a new video is up via youtube, like this?

[Kuvter]

@miyamotofan There is a link to the bottom right of the video where their main EC page is on Penny Arcade. I'd just keep that in your bookmarks and go there every Wednesday! (Hint: It tells you they will have a new one every Wednesday)

[dncnlamont]

@miyamotofan you should definitely bookmark that page. Penny Arcade is all kinds of good

[cyraknoss]

@miyamotofan you should bookmark that page.

[ExtraCreditz]

@miyamotofan I just got word that Penny Arcade WILL add an RSS feed for the show. I don't know when it will go live, but it's coming!

[LinksLove]

Awesome new episode! I do agree that sticking a trailer for, and link to, each episode here on youtube would be ideal, since PATV doesn't have comments, and I doubt that I'm the only person who doesn't really know how PATV works.

[timodilo]

Nice episode. Since I'm new here, what games has James designed?

[McFeely2pointoh]

My only issue with PA is that I can't seem to get a feed for JUST Extra Credits. It wants me to sift through all of the other pointless crap on their default feed of everything I don't care about. Anyone know of a way around this?

[KnightTemplar108]

Finally, thses never show up in my sub box and it's about ti-

It's not here? Of course it isn't.

[celamai]

Where are the archived episodes? I thought they would be moving to PATV with ec.

[AGenericVillain]

Wait, so you still own the Extra Credits IP, right? Since it's no longer part of the escapist, I mean.

[Arcterion]

Penny Arcade? No thanks. =/

[deadmeh]

@Arcterion Yeah the site sucks comparatively to youtube.

[Arcterion]

@deadmeh Oh, not just the site... To be honest, everything about Penny Arcade annoys the fuck out of me. Their god-awful humour, the majority of their fanbase, the obnoxious creators, the list goes on.

But yeah, it'd be much, MUCH more preferable if EC stuck to Youtube or another respectable site.

[jbird188]

I loved this episode!

[Triforceformer]

So now I have Yahtzee, Extra Credits, and Penny-Arcade to look forward to every Wednesday? Kick ass.

[MrBreakingBones]

great that you guys found a new platform to publish your videos :)

[ravsBC]

Any chance of an individual EC RSS link on Penny Arcade? Really do not need more stuff I don't read cluttering up my Google Reader!

[Mamoru0Hasukage]

I am not sure if many people realize this: Star wars as a whole was greatly "borrowed" from Akira Kurosawa's the hidden fortress. Just go watch the first half hour and you will notice so many things. Aside from the obvious vader armor and jedi looking very Samurai like, you will notice the way the story is told and how the characters interact that it is the same story. Do not believe me? Check it out for yourself and I garantee that you will notice about 90% of whats in star wars is in there.

[MrBrander]

This might help you with the image: tinyurl dot com/3l84xbs

It's from Gamasutra site.

[PressXtonotdie]

i'm quite mixed on my reaction to this. PATV will bring you more attention, the PA guys are nice, but on the other hand, their video loading speeds are fucking pathetic. It took 15 hours to load the 20 minute minecraft documentary fundraising clip, meanwhile I can do 1080p uncompressed movies in half that time.

[CraigAA1028]

PA Seems like the perfect fit for you guys

[CrazT729]

Hope this new home works out well for you guys. Best of luck!!!

Also, Allison's drawings look fantastic in HD!!!

[glovestrong48]

Very good episode. I just had a conversation with my friend a couple days ago about pacing using tension in survival horror games. It's definitely a good topic and needed to be brought up. Thanks for uploading this on youtube to let us fans know :)

[hereticmessiah]

If you guys are going to be on PATV from now only, could you please get them to add per-show newsfeeds? Without some way of getting notified of new shows, it's quite likely you'll drop viewers, which would be unfortunate for something that ought relatively trivial to do, and would benefit all the shows on PATV.

[Pimptimus]

But P.A. has a forum! I'm sure you could lobby for your own section in there!

[DavidTanisDreams]

So... I'm probably not going to follow you guys to PA. I love you kids even though everyone involved in this split has been incredibly childish. With that said I really don't need another bookmarked website, another place I hang out on the internet. I was already an Escapist member and a Youtube member and I really don't care to add another place.

[FrankieSmileShow]

Ah that's where you guys are now! Awesome! Good luck with your new host, I hope things with The Escapist got a little better, things seemed pretty tense...... money matters really do ruin everything dont they?

[lunasumerin]

I'm having a lot of trouble with the video loading over there. a bunch of times it just says it can't load it.. and when I finally got it to load I had paused halfway through and then it wouldn't play again. So now I'm trying to get it to load again :/

[rougehater]

WHAT THEY ARE ON PENNY ARCADE? well now im going to grumble and say how much i hate penny arcade and say its a shame you went with that particular popular comic over the one i look at and im going to say shame on you.

Now im going to click on that link but not tell anyone cause if i did then i would be making a pseudo statement

[thirion1850]

Penny arcade? Really? Christ, you could do better than that, ffs.

[Drarack]

lol, that episode just made me wanna watch star wars again real bad

[supermanlypunch]

Awesome, it's great to see that Allison's doing the drawing again, I was starting to miss her.

[deKING91]

YEAY! An episode on my birthday!

[JHHUO]

Bah. I knew you were going to PATV, but hoped they had sorted it out since I last looked up thier other shows. Unfortunatley, I disliked it then and I don't like it any better now. Same reason I stopped watching Checkpoint. Shame.

[loneswordspartan]

Loving that it's now Wednesday updated. Makes it so I can watch this, then go watch Zero Punctuation right after :D

[KanashimiTenshi]

Gonna recommend trailers for every week as well since it's a nice reminder an episode is out.

[Dyndrilliac]

PATV is incompatible with NotScripts. I have to turn off the Chrome extension to watch your videos, which I never had to do on The Escapist or Youtube. Epic fail.

[cz123zy]

There's no RSS feed only for Extra Credits at the new site. You can only get general feed with bunch of random stuff. Escapist had separate feeds for every show so you could get specific videos and ignore useless ones. Is there any way to get just EC episodes via RSS?

[MrEightyGig]

the newest star trek movie threw that curve away. it started at 11 and stayed there the whole movie. =]

[wahwahorg]

is there an RSS feed for new episodes on PATV?

[riksharp]

@wahwahorg all the intro and outro music (so far at least) came from ocremix (dot) org.

theres a lot of good stuff there

[hopolooopiu]

Where can I download the intro/outro music? :3

[GigaBoost]

Lack of comment and discussion board on PATV should've been a dealbreaker. Extra Credits has always been a show that spurs up a lot of (mostly civil) discussion and debate. I really hope you guys put up a decent forum soon, or move again to somewhere with comments and replying.

Or... just keep posting these trailers for every episode (name these trailers though, so we know what we're discussion). Makes it easier for the casual viewers to find you as well.

Any way, keep up the good work!

[MrILikeTheInternet]

anyone else having trouble viewing on PATV?

[lqcrow]

I don't get all the people who are saying the EC is now competing with Yahtzee and ZP. I mean really, the days of "missing your program" because the show is on at the same time as another show ended with the DVR for television and practically non-existent on the web. Is it really that hard to open a new window?

[immanuelscholz]

Wow.. this one is really a good thought-through episode. I am glad you are back to your old performance.

Also cheers to Allison. Sorry for the other guest-artists, but your drawings still sets standards for them to reach. :-D

[whowhatwhenwatch]

plz keep us up to date on youtube

[grafxdude77]

1.) I'm glad to see you found a new home.

2.) I'm VERY glad that Allison is feeling well enough to do the art this week.

3.) I'm quite disappointed that there is no comments section for your videos on PATV. Maybe a bit more than disappointed.

Half of the fun was watching the video. The other half was engaging in a conversation about that week's episode.

Sure, there's a forum - if you look for it. But it's just not the same.

If you can't have comments at the vid, at least link to the forum.

[warfjm]

This is kind of funny. I'm trying to load the zero punctuation video at the escapist but it's taking forever to load. I go over to penny arcade and the extra credits video loads in no time flat.

[SenorStocks]

@warfjm because Zero Punctuation is amazing and EC is only watched by small group of hipsters

[Mynameisaw]

@SenorStocks Yeah because 50-100,000 views per video is a 'small group' .....

[SenorStocks]

@Mynameisaw I like how you don't dispute they are hipsters though.

[darkdragonsoul99]

Pacing That was definitely a thought provoker. I never noticed how my favorite tv shows movies games and even anime fits so perfectly into that graph.

I think my ultimate example of pacing would be yuu yuu hakusho .

[ZellMurasame]

What happened to make you guys leave The Escapist anyway?

[abc123unmegrrl]

@ZellMurasame a big dispute over the donations for Allison's operation and the EC team not getting paid for a few months. the Escapist.... were not nice to EC

[Rokumasu853]

Mac's artwork was awesome, but EC just isn't the same without your iconic look, Allison. I'm glad to have you back, more so to see you healthy, but you aren't allowed to get hurt anymore. At least, next time, try and make sure it's your legs... It's just not the same without you...

[bramb26]

pretty pictures lady is back? welcome back!

[phlexonance]

is there some way to subscribe to only the EC vids on PATV ? (preferably via rss)

[Gemasted]

Awesome episode! It really inspired me.

[EdgeyvonKarma]

Glad to hear you guys found a new home. Keep up the amazing world.

[EdgeyvonKarma]

@EdgeyvonKarma Amazing work. Why did I say world?

[winterkewl]

anyone else have problems getting it to load on PAtv?? keeps saying "This episode is temporarily unavailable, please try back later."

[dx619hey]

Trying to compete with Yahtzee now, eh?

[boner2008]

Shame. Having EC in my youtube sub updates was nice. Congrats on getting a new home though :).

[Rokumasu853]

I don't know why Escapist dropped you guys, but I am happy to know you guys aren't gone. Too bad, really. Having ZP and EC on the same site was VERY convenient, but now I get them on the same day! ^_^

[FujinAkari]

@Rokumasu853 The Escapist didn't drop them, they left after the Escapist wanted to take Allison's donation money for themselves.

[MangaPunkSai]

Yay! Now I know where to get my weekly fix.

[noseman123]

My old schedule:

Mondays: Last nights tv-shows (Breaking Bad, all of the animated shows beginning later this month, etc.).

Tuesdays: The Big Picture

Wednesdays: Zero Punctuation

Thursdays: Extra Credits

Fridays: Escape to the Movies and last nights Futurama.

But now Thursdays are left empty... :(

I'll have to find a new show to watch. Perhaps a show on PATV?

[Archangel72985]

it took me till almost the end to realize Allison was back WB ALLISON we all missed you (not that we didn't like guest artists you guys were good too)

[MegaCakewalker]

I noticed you mentioned you couldn't find the chart again. I Googled, and found an article on Gamasutra, which you will find if you google "Beyond Pacing: Games Aren't Hollywood", first result. Could be where you found the chart in the first place!

[KisukeOboro]

Yay! Allison's back!

[zemas1712]

its funny when I heard them talking about the graph and compared it to star wars the first game I thought of that follows the opening was god of war and the hydra fight :P

[viicISrotcib]

looking forward to great things. Awesome episode!

[baconcat88]

@ExtraCreditz: Is there an RSS feed we can subscribe to? I used to use the one on the escapist to track you!

[Baemoth]

yay! PATV ftw. =)

[northenswede]

Damn you just made Thursdays a bit worse

[SamStar42]

@SenorStocks You can afford to be pretentious when you're right and know what you're talking about.

[SenorStocks]

@SamStar42 which they're not and they don't

[TheCoolWelshy]

Are you guys still planning to put future episodes here, or will be a dormant channel?

[nickst0ne]

I don't find any RSS subscription on PATV. Too bad, because it's a convenient way to stay up-to-date. Can you put in a word for me to the guys at PATV ? Keep up the good work !

[shefyg]

thats great - too bad there is no comment section on that page - I wanted to give PATV thumbs up, for giving you your (and much better ) home

[otakuprincess101]

There aren't any options for comments on PATV... perhaps you could upload a trailer or something here on Wednesday so we can get a dialogue going. That's what I love about EC and it's community after all.

[SenorStocks]

@otakuprincess101 Noo! Without comments how will I keep telling them that their videos are pretentious crap?

[NickyTheRook]

Ugh, forced advertisements.

[xLoNaDaRx]

@NickyTheRook Yay, giving them money for their hard work and research? Fuck that!

[Kamidake83]

Ugh your hosting through Blip.tv now aren't you? Guess ill have to wait till i get off work to see it.

[xLoNaDaRx]

Is Minecraft an exception for the rule here?

[relo999]

@xLoNaDaRx

Well no (game designer speaking). All games, without a story specially made for that game (or for the sake of argument a story intention unforced by gameplay), dont have that curve (unless of course it happens at random). Like Sims didn't have it. Minecraft has only a story made by the player him self, and that in turn is related to how the actions are interpreted by the player. and thus only a story in the mind of the player. So any game without a direct story is an exception. L-CAP

[stafax]

Is there an RSS feed for the PATV location?

[majorianmask]

hopefully you guys upload an announcement every week because I don't regularly go to the pennyarcade website.

[Riakam]

Every Wednesday? Then what will I watch on Thursdays?!

[B1ushMoe]

Hey Daniel, James and Allison.

I was wondering if trailers will be uploaded every week? PA has no comment section + it is not as visited as a site like the escapist as most of us are forum buffs. We respect your move to change sites but posting trailers every week will be awesome.

Cheers from ExtraCredits fans

[ExtraCreditz]

@B1ushMoe I'm considering the possibility. We're also working on the forums thing, but we've got an EC community forum you guys can use in the meantime! I'll put a link in the description.

[Mamoru0Hasukage]

@ExtraCreditz Hey, i noticed that was Allison's work. Is her arm all better? Congrats!

[Ace2066]

@ExtraCreditz I much prefer YT comments to any forum.

First.

Hey look I'm not banned :]

[PonyusTheWolfdude]

Yo, could you keep posting on this chanel for every episode that goes up?

Like this one :3

[cosmicflame111]

@PonyusTheWolfdude Although I kinda agree with you, Daniel, Alison and James 'I think' lead very busy lives, so I'm not really sure if how much of a hassle it would be.... I mean every week just check on penny arcade, I'm not really sure how difficult that is, although posting on Youtube a trailer would of course be more convient for all of us, I just don't want Daniel, Hames and Alison to be pressured into uploading a trailer per week, it might be a hassle

[ExtraCreditz]

@PonyusTheWolfdude I suppose I could do that, if you guys would like. At least for the first month or so.

[SpadesHeart]

@ExtraCreditz actually, I would assume many of us check youtube much more often than penny arcade. When they were on the escapist, I literally just showed up for your video's maybe a day or two after they aired. If you kept posting reminders like this, it would facilitate a lot of us being able to watch the video 5 minutes after it's out. Same idea as twitter/facebook for those who don't like non-anonymous social media... I think you can make announcements on youtube for subscribers too...

[dde12321]

this is cool but can you some how upload the old episodes

[LithiumLogica]

Props on getting connected with PA. Those guys are awesome and this shit is going to make an amazing whirlwind of amazing game... everything.

[awdrifter3]

There's no comment section on PATV, that might not work as well as Escapist.

[psychoslayer1993]

Wednesdays just got a whole lot more awesome.

[StaticJakz]

Hope you do a quick update like this every time you have a new vid. Since I rarely check PATV, this reminder would be great.

[Urpuss]

So Wednesdays instead of Thursdays now?

[freezman13]

I watched to the end cause I wanted to hear the awesome music

[evvee345]

Thanks for the update here! Will you be doing a weekly update here as well or moving right on to PATV only?

[SmashdashMr]

how is alisons new robot arm?

[TheQhozt]

@SmashdashMr Well obviously since she drew this ep i think it is allright

[Jackjone1324]

Question... whats gonna happen to the videos that were on the Escapist? Times I wanna re watch and was gonna show one in my psychology class>_<

[theminimanx]

@Jackjone1324 Either the Escapist still has the rights to it, in which case they'll stay right where they are. If James got the rights back, they'll be uploaded to PA as well.

[joshgod1]

@Jackjone1324 I think they said in a previous episode that they will be bringing all their old episodes with them to pa. I suspect they may also still be available on the escapist, but i'm not sure.

[Headphoneguy92]

@Jackjone1324 according to the end of the video linked their old videos will be on PA soon, so im assuming that means the escapists ones too

[ExtraCreditz]

@Jackjone1324 They'll be on PATV shortly! I needed to go back and re-render all the old episodes. It took a while. :)

[infrahate]

@ExtraCreditz w00t, first ENN now you guys :). Long live PATV.

[dizitei]

@ExtraCreditz Just wanted to say that you are doing great job so keep it up :3

[HonestDiscussioner]

@ExtraCreditz I assume you'll be re-rendering them in order . . but in case you are not, I vote the gamification ones go up first!

[auron508]

@ExtraCreditz Oh that's great. I thought for a bit those might have been stuck in a state of limbo. Thanks for actually getting to those

[cwolvie]

Congrats! Hopefully, Gabe and Tycho will treat you better than Escapist! :)

[notedwordsmith]

But...but Wednesday is Zero Punctuation day. I had my week all planned out based on animations. What shall I do on Thursdays now?

[godofresi]

Glad you guys found somewhere good.

[Headphoneguy92]

5th!

[TheQhozt]

Fucking adds on PATV...

Awwwww yeeeee
