Extra Credits is a video lesson series currently presented by showrunner/narrator Matthew Krol, studio director Geoffrey "GZ" Zatkin, community manager Arthur Guilford, artists David "D" Hueso, Jordan Martin, Ali R. Thome, Scott DeWitt, Nick DeWitt, writers Jac Mindelan, Rob Rath, and friends. The series of videos discuss issues pertinent to video games and game studies, particularly discussing issues concerning video game development, addressing the legitimacy of video games as art, and creating intellectual discourse on important issues in gaming culture.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. In addition, the episodes have been syndicated on many websites, including ScrewAttack.
