Extra Credits/Trivia


 * Keep Circulating the Tapes: After all of the episodes were deleted from The Escapist, there was a period of several weeks when there wasn't anywhere they could be seen legally. Needless to say, their "Piracy" episode hit a lot closer to home. The resulting moral dilemma was averted after all of their old episodes were added to PATV.
 * Promoted Fanboy: One day, Daniel Floyd decided that he wanted to do a report on video games and storytelling. But rather than do a Powerpoint, he put together a video that cited Zero Punctuation as inspiration, and the very first Extra Credits (though the name came much later) video was born. Some time later, he's one of Yahtzee's coworkers and James occasionally participates in debates with him.
 * Screwed By the Network: Daniel and James do the Extra Credits series unpaid. They pay out-of-pocket to Allison to create artwork for their show. In turn, The Escapist pays Daniel and James a nominal compensation which cover's Allison's costs. When Allison hurt her arm, James asked The Escapist to pay what was owed to them so they could support Allison's surgery. When that was not enough, they began a hugely successful donation drive. However, The Escapist insisted that 75% of what was earned through that drive belonged to them. As a result of all this drama, Extra Credits is no longer publishing on The Escapist. Shortly after the announcement, the quantity of fans flocking to The Escapist forums to express outrage broke the site.
 * At least, this is Extra Credit's version of events, the Escapist have their own. Let's just leave it at that.
