Extra Credits is an video lesson series currently run by Matthew Krol and Geoffrey Zatkin, narrated by Matthew Krol, with artists Scott DeWitt, Nick DeWitt, David "D" Hueso, and Ali R. Thome and Jordan Martin and writers Robert Rath, R. Kevin Doyle and other staff members. Social Media is run by Kat Rider. The series of videos discusses topics pertinent to video game development and game studies, addressing the legitimacy of video games as art, and creating intellectual discourse on important issues in gaming culture.[1]
The series was developed directly from a series of lecture videos by animator Daniel Floyd, informally known as Video Games And..., which ran sporadically from February 17, 2008, to April 16, 2010, with certain episodes written by James Portnow.
The series originally aired on The Escapist from July 28, 2010, to August 10, 2011, before being split off over a financial dispute. Between September 7, 2011, and December 31, 2013, the show aired on PATV, a distribution channel hosted by Penny Arcade, whose downsizing of partner services after the latter date was cited as the reason for the show's subsequent "move" to YouTube, where the show is currently aired.[2] In addition, the episodes have been syndicated on many websites, including ScrewAttack.
