1 Million YouTube Subscribers!

We hit the 1 million subscriber milestone on YouTube today, and wanted to thank all of you for your support! Honestly, we wouldn't be able to do even HALF of the projects we get to work on without the support of you folks on Patreon. We love every minute of this, and hope you do too.

We're also working on a special 1 million subs episode to celebrate with you all, but it's gonna take a bit! You know what our pipeline for Extra History is like. ;) Stay tuned, though: it is coming!

Absolutely love the show, both the normal episodes and Extra History. I do miss James Recommends though, and/or more Games You Might Not Have Tried would be really great. I can never get enough of those!

Huw Tuffin

Same here. I remember watching some zero punctuation, and seeing a link to the side somewhere. "Extra Credits? What is that? Hrrrrm. Click." Never regretted it.

Nessf

James is. ;) Dan got the Silver button way back when, and their agreement was that James gets the gold one.

Extra History

Thank you! And thanks for making so many jumps around the internet with us in those early days. <3

Extra History

I've been following y'all since BEFORE y'all were picked up by Penny Arcade. It's super exciting seeing y'all hit this milestone. :D

Catherine DeKorte

Means a lot coming from a fellow history nerd. ;) Cheers to you!

Extra History

Congrats guys! You guys really deserve it, Here's to 1,000,000 more.

And now we await, with baited breath, the First Episode of whatever subject will be covered next. I Hope that the aforementioned Fact that I am Known for having a very short Temper will not be held against me. [I Think it's the Articles of Confederation.]

Martin Verran

I'm flattered by the comparison to TED talks! And super glad that both the video game content and the history content offer something you enjoy. We knew we all loved those topics, but it was kind of a gamble thinking others would enjoy the combination as well. Here's to many more!

Extra History

But he's 1 million years old!

Extra History

Thank you so much!

Extra History

That number sounds so daunting when you put it that way! But thank you very much, we appreciate your support and hope to keep doing this for a long time!

Extra History

...Elijah, now my wheels are turning. I hadn't considered a Walpole mug before but I will now! Printing cups in multiple colors (even our Game mug) is difficult but a nice Walpole silhouette could do wonders...

Extra History

I love that the gold button cake is just melting. ;)

Extra History

That moment was SUCH a lucky lightning strike. And we got to know Will Overgard, who hangs out with us now at PAX and such things, so we hit the lottery all around on that series!

Extra History

Oooooo, ooooo ooo ooo!

Extra History

Is that where you found us? Yay! Thank you for checking out the show back then, and staying with us all this time!

Extra History

I found this on Penny Arcade a few years back. When I first started watching these (chronologically, of course) I compared them to mini TED talks about video games. I always wondered how many others got the same impression. I have been glued to this channel since I found it, and Extra History is one of my favorite channels because I have always been a history buff. I have, multiple times, listened to an entire series of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History just because its so fascinating. I'll just summarize at this point: Thank you SO much. I know it's not much, but that's why I subbed.

Dan looks younger in that GIF than in the other videos :P

Antti Björklund

Whoo!

Extra History

Congratulations! It's well earned :)

Claincy

Congratulations!! I am so happy that 1 million people can now enjoy the content you provide. You guys are great, and I am so to be able to help support you guys.

Hannah the Seal

Congratulations you guys! You deserve it! Off topic: Any chance of getting a Walpole mug? I love the shirt.

Elijah Irons

That little party thing looks so underwhelming. I love it.

Nessf

I Think I speak for us all when I say that, for a Series that began as a Phone Call from Creative Assembly saying, "We're Finishing our latest Total War Game and we've got some Money left over in our Marketing Department. The way we see it, we could spend our Money on some more Banner adds, or we could Pay you Guys to make some Videos talking about Roman History. You don't have to Mention us or the Game, just Teach them History." Extra History has definitely become One of the best Historical Series on YouTube. Here's Hoping there'll be many more in the Years to come.

Martin Verran

whoooooOOOOOOO

Teagan Broadhead

Yah! Good job guys. I remember when I first heard about when you were something that showed up on the Penny Arcade website every once in awhile. Now lookit ya!

Sean Sarff

Yeeeeh

Simone Spinozzi

You know, it never bothered me at the time, but I watch those episodes now and I do kinda wince at how squeaky it was. ;) -Soraya

Extra History

Your help means a lot to us! Thank you so much!

Extra History

I feel so old for saying I remember the days when Dan's voice was so high and mildly annoying. Congrats Team EC!

Vincent Le

Fantastic! My favorite series on the internet, hands down! I'm always more than happy to lend my monetary support and I'm excited to see you guys come so far. =)

Christopher Smith

Favourite channel by far!

Extra History

That's amazing! We're so glad you found your path in game design. Best wishes to you!

Extra History

Congratulations guys! These are some of the best, most entertaining, videos on history available. I hope you guys are doing this for years to come. I've even taken to using these videos in the history classes I run, so you're helping to educate people!

Christopher Pelletier

Congrats to the whole Extra Credits team! And thank you for inspiring me to become a game designer. Quite possibly the best choice I've made, and it's all thanks to you guys!
