If you know about Zero Punctuation (and you should because it rocks), you're probably familiar with The Escapist Magazine. And if you're familiar with that, you should know about The Escapist's new video series, Extra Credits. If you don't know about either then GTFO the Internet go here for Zero Punctuation and here for The Escapist Magazine home page.

Some brief information: Extra Credits is hosted by James Portnow (writer), Daniel Floyd (narrator), and Allison Theus (artist) who have been doing this video series on Youtube for several years until recently when they were acquired by The Escapist back in July. For a summary about the topic they cover, watch this video.

As for the latest installment in this weekly series, it is: Enriching Lives.

Seriously, watch it and support it by telling other people about it. It's a fantastic series and you don't know what you're missing by not watching it.

Oh yeah, I love Extra Credits... It's a great series about video games in general. And even when they look at specific games, it's a completely different type of review than is usually done.

I tend to find I disagree with about 1/2 of what they say. But I'm old fashioned in my opinions, I guess.

New video is up. This week, they discuss the problems surrounding the term "Gamer".
