Extra Credits!!

So since we are about to go into the world of video games I thought I would bring up an excellent group that talks about video games.  Extra Credits!!  They are a video game talk series that talks about the success of video games and the failures of video games.  They talk about how video games need and point out story telling in games.  They also talk about evolution in games.  They also reinforce working around the technology to tell and do video games.  This series has maybe been around for 3-4 years now but has some great topics.  This is how I learned about the uncanny valley.  These guys use to be on the Escapist magazine but left due to various reasons.  The escapist is still good and I recommend a look.  I am now going to post a couple of Urls to some of their videos.  I hope you all enjoy and look at the world of video games just a little bit differently even if you do not like them or want to join it.
