Sad, when he says he's definitely the voice of EC and now he no longer is. I still watch and the new guy does a good job with what he does, but I kind of miss the classic EC.

[@superpawn6012]

Me too ):

[@liamloftus8466]

Does anybody know why dan left i can't find anything on why Dan left

[@MrTreefoz]

Honestly, I barely watched after he left, and then after their reaction to the outrage on "that one video", I just stopped watching. Just wasn't worth it anymore.

[@KermRiv]

We miss you dan :(

[@zeiking2457]

He is the reason why i like history now and extra credits

[@myboy5194]

Same here man

[@ericbowsman2456]

I really miss Dan :( I was introduced to Extra Credits about a year ago, and his voice really grew on me. The new voice is great, but I miss the classic voice. Still, I don't have any right to change your decision. We'll miss you

[@benfed4873]

No... Dan was the only thing keeping them sane.

[@blechkinstein1015]

go watch him on playframe if you dont already and want to watch him still :)

[@Dracobyte]

He has his own channel named New Frame Plus.

[@gamegyro56]

This interview (especially the end where he talks about being less involved in Extra Credits) is so great over four years later, as the Floyds have now left. Ironically, I've learned more about the show (and Dan) since he and his wife have left. Thanks for this interview, it gave me a perspective on Extra Credits and Dan, and I hope the best for him + Carrie in the future.

[@cookingonthecheapcheap6921]

Dans still doing extra credits dude, even did the lies for the Mali episodes.

[@gamegyro56]

Not a dude, but no, he's not at Extra Credits anymore. He left at the end of May. He had already recorded the audio for a bunch of Extra History scripts, but it takes a long time to do the art. He has not and will not do any Extra Credits work since the end of May.

[@cookingonthecheapcheap6921]

gamegyro56 dont really care who the host is, as long as James doesn't leave i don't really give a shit. Don't remember asking anything about you, but you thought i needed to know so that's what's important i guess. I didnt say he hadn't left, i said he was still making videos. Why aren't you a dude? I'm not part of America university sissy culture so as a word it means nothing to me, don't presume that because you watch youtube channels it somehow makes you better then others. I really regret commenting on this video, Gyro seems like a prat living vicariously through the people being interviewed. Shite interviewer anyway.

[@gamegyro56]

Ok, girl. But what you said was completely wrong, so I was correcting you. You said Dan is still doing Extra Credits, and I corrected you. So you can accept your correction, sis :)

[@gamegyro56]

I don't remember asking you what you are, sis. Sound like you're triggered, girl.

[@andro_king]

And the classic EC doesn't exist. Dan left, og artist left, James left. Its EC v2.0 now.

[@puganimations2418]

@(STUDENT)William Giles yeah, here the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmnEhJKkmbF1sLc&ab_channel=ExtraCredits go to 5:42 and say goodbye to the good days.

[@samkowing9728]

So that's what Dan looks like

[@slyfox9992]

kn1ghtpr1nce is it bad that when i first saw him i was like "OH NO, HE'S HOT!"

[@cookingonthecheapcheap6921]

[@elhombredeoro955]

kn1ghtpr1nce y He looks sexy and subtle to me, but he sounds different.

[@Lucy-pb4eh]

IKR

[@cookingonthecheapcheap6921]

Details the key, in the facts these great guys do and the animation. From apologizing for mistakes, giving us extra that didn't fit in the episodes and Dans slightly askew smile. Love these videos, if it wasn't for a car accident I had in Nov last year Id be giving as much as a could in patreon and merch. This should be pushed as a platform for younger kids to get involved in learning history, I asked a girl working at a local big bookstore for Rommels Infantry Attacks. She didn't know who Erwin Rommel was. I also asked for Louis Bartas' book, but hes not well known so I didn't expect much before going into the store.

[@Tetracarbon]

That was a really informative interview, and something that is quite inspiring to me as someone that runs a part-time KZbin channel, also in the education space. Well done Dan! You are a bit of a hero indeed.

[@geoffreyperrin4347]

Having this in the background as I worked on an unreal project was very fun. great job!

[@JamesFLivingstone]

great interview, t'was really interesting listening to how the show has evolved and Dan's outlook on how its produced, thanks for making this.

[@patfitzgerald8461]

Please keep these up. I'd love to hear more "actor's studio" style interviews with professionals involved in interactive media.

[@Zw285]

Not real Dan, low pitch voice.

[@mccabeallison]

Are you joking?

[@christellaadisti755]

Its real, trust me, he just edited his voice.

It's a joke people.

[@kisaragi_san1378]

no he didnt, its just that they speed up his talking in the videos

[@pyreling]

Fuck I want Dan Back. Been watching this show over half my life somehow. (

[@-ism8153]

No Dan Back here, just Dan Floyd.

[@MarigoldTCG]

Man it's wild seeing him talk about EC at all nowadays given the reasons he split with them. It's also wild how long I've been following Dan now

[@WannabeCanadianDev]

Dan Floyd is totes adorbs.

[@Bacchasnail]

Raenir Salazar agreed

[@ayushbhardwas]

he sounds so different

[@Therworldtube]

Hopefully you can create a history channel Dan, but without James

[@NawidN]

That would be great. Unfortunately, he seems to want to explain only game animation.

[@Therworldtube]

@@NawidN That still would be fine. After all, that was EC's intention

[@connerfields4753]

I heard "Trombone Major" instead of "Drama Major".

[@XanathosZero]

When I heard blockchain episode without you... I was so alarmed. And found out you left... really EC will never be the same without you. But I look forward to watch great story based video games at Playframe. I really love the things you do, and always for the sakes of having fun. My respects to you, Dan. =)

[@diegogonzalez7183]

He looks completely different from what I expected

[@cinnamon_styx]

Why the hell did you retire

[@ZnakerFIN]

He didn't retire. He and Carrie "parted ways with EC.": www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqhrnq So, you can now find them from Extra Frames and Extra Play channels.

[@user-hg9vr7gh2q]

@@ZnakerFIN why did they part ways?

DO you do Spirit Science Animations too? Or did they completely bite your style?

[@marelleclejon6694]

MLP YEAH!

[@regalvas]

great

[@historyisawesome6399]

After he left EH and EC was never the same the only good thing that happen after he left was EM which got traded for the reading one so to me EC had gone down hill

[@Kalernor]

The interviewers looks don't fit his great interviewing skills. Like dress up a bit less casual and maybe change your hair style and you'll be set. If this channel has more interviews by this guy(or by other equally good interviewers) I'm subbing.

[@ArcademiaTV]

Hey sorry for never replying to this: thank you for the feedback. I appreciate that you're willing to overcome my weirdness to enjoy the video :)
