Extra Credits
Welcome!
Video games are currently the most popular form of mass entertainment, and we've been making short-form animated video essays about them for over 10 years (some of which may or may not involve a cat!).
So come along with the Extra Credits crew as we take a deeper look at games: how they are made, what they mean, how we can make them better, and how they impact our culture.
