Extra Credits - Invidious

Extra Credits

Welcome!

Video games are currently the most popular form of mass entertainment, and we've been making 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.

Also if you want to chat with us live, check out our Twitch channel at: www.twitch.tv/extracredits
