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

Did you know that the board game Monopoly-yes, the iconic capitalism simulator-was originally designed to warn against capitalism? Ironically, the game we play today was shaped by the very forces it sought to critique. So how did an anti-capitalist teaching tool transform into a symbol of the system it opposed? From political parodies to endless reskins, Monopoly's journey is as twisted as a game of chance 🎥🕹️

Alternatively, this could kill the viability of LLMs, and thus stop corporations from using AI generated content.
so basically star wars uno
A game that people can’t make their entire personality feels like a failure as far as the industry is concerned. Once in a while you’ll see people talk about “this game lost X% of its players” in a month or two and lumps in the story games that you’ll only ever play once or twice in that. Like of course the player count will drop, they finished it!
"The eternal hellscape that was McDonald's Monopoly" *Safeway Monopoly has entered the chat*
It needs to happen
There is no problem, there are just whiners. It's that simple.
And then there is their us of shoddy AI art for their recent books, and new art pushing DEI and woke nonsense. Like that new one protraying orcs as Mexicans, or dwarves with man buns baking cookies while a few wre working a forge a couple of feet away.
You should watch the American Experience episode Ruthless: Monopoly’s Secret History.
I had the Monopoly Spongebob edition as a kid. Got it for a birthday present. The cover was SpongeBob’s face with holographic eyes.
That actually sounds like a funny and epic glitch that ought stay in the game.
Projectile vomiting kittens xD I love that line
Please I need this immediately

Yay, I love The Landlord's Game! I printed my own board and cards of it. Small nitpick: I wouldn't say that the game tried to "warn against" capitalism. I'd rather say that it tried to fix capitalism, or warn against doing capitalism badly. This was Marx's critique of Georgism: That it tried to fix capitalism instead of overthrowing it. Surprise surprise, we didn't do either.
Man, free my man DATA. He did nothing wrong. I don’t think he knows how to do wrong.
I wasn't expecting dwarf fortress facts to be dropped here but i love that it was.
I think that the spiritual successor to these kinds of games is actually beatsaber
How does that apply to multiplayer games? How does it apply to Counter Strike which has been free for years?
I have one of these. I used to use it back in the late 90s early 2000, to play most 2k and 4k roms with a converter like an early flash cart.
Ironic that you are making this after your "video game price" video.
I gave a thumbs down for 1) the needlessly political endorsement of rent control (a bad policy, but also I'm here for history not editorializing); and 2) the endorsement of Monopoly, a game with an interesting history, but an intentionally terrible design because it was a critique, not for enjoyment.
Another part of this bug was how the beer got on the floor. If a dwarf was in the tavern and got summoned to a task, he would basically just dump his beer on the floor.
gimme gimme gimme
what? you dont want to play one of the best computer rpg games of all time ultima?
Do it!
You know how much those guitars are worth!?
So, putting both studies together we can simplify it down to: People estimate their skills and knowledge towards an average So if you are below that you overestimate, and if you are above you underestimate
Wait… so the anti-capitalist lady wanted… a monopoly? I’m shocked
Wait. Which link shows me how to overcome imposter syndrome?
Please do a full length video! Also Goldmask’s ending is the best ending in lore.
you forgot to mention Sweet Baby Inc. involvement.
I hate battles! They don't make much sense as far as lore or logic go. You have to turn somersaults to make up an explanation of what they even are. "I am going to attack my battle! (Which is on your side of the field.)" Say what?
Pls give us a deep dive, I absolutely adore this series and would love to see your take on it!
They actually died but best
am i crazy or do other people hear not-so-average-fangirl's intro in the glitching intro/outro T_T
There was a sewing machine attachment?
PANR has tuned in.
That's not really that weird for the time. It's just the Atari version of a tape drive (common to home PCs like the Commodore 64) plus a memory expansion.
It’s a novel solution for something rapid fire, but there’s a layer of interactivity and complexity that is lost that TCGs can make fun. Not to mention strategy.
Artist get both of these
Shoulda left it in
great thumbnail guys
There does not seem to be a link in the description to overcome Imposter Syndrome?
They're just trying to gaslight us. A link in the description....if you're smart enough to find it.
Only legends know, this video is re upload
That's... oddly cute tho with the cats
