1 Million YouTube Subscribers!
Added 2017-04-28 20:58:06 +0000 UTC
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!

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.

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

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

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.]

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!

...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...

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!

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.

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.
