PAX WEST 2017 Extra Credits Panel

[@extrahistory]

Many thanks to the wonderful Enforcers at PAX for helping us record and livestream our PAX West 2017 Extra Credits panel! If you missed it then, you can catch it now. PLUS! Want to skip straight to Scott's special secret video debut? Go for it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIPXi5SLhcyIgtU

[@danielf.7151]

It was wonderful, though I would have loved it more if the part with Scott's video contained the sound from the audience.

[@migg619]

Extra Credits Dans face is way different compared with the face Imagened (such manly face)

[@preoklenthe]

Could you upload the reaction of the team while watching the video if you have it please? I would love to see their faces at the time of the beachball part.

[@evannationarmy7769]

Scott, why do you hate James?

[@Inferryu]

Because he thinks James is more popular than him... despite being surrounded by four ladies at the end.

[@blankfootage]

Dan, you should have cosplayed as Dan. You know, the guy on extra credits with the iconic green top and tie. would've been awesome. You've already got the podium n all.

[@miraprime474]

I look forward to playing "find the beachball" in future episodes of Extra Credits.

[@TheLionEric]

What has reality done to Dan's voice?!

[@henrikmunkmadsen3190]

It's funny how that keeps coming up

[@zetetick395]

It conferred upon him a shocking case of puberty...

[@pedroscoponi4905]

Beachball +1 STR +2 WIS +5 CHR Effect: Deploy in any situation to lighten up the mood.

[@youtoober2013]

What a great end to that panel... lol.

[@sandeepandhoundiyal5124]

Every time I hear Dan's real voice, I am reminded that reality is a lie.

[@nachteldantes4990]

I feel you, I feel you.

[@alchemist_one]

Seriously, wtf is wrong with his voice? Why edit it so much in the videos? This is actually a major trust killer...

[@JasonGracePJO]

He changed his voice so it fits more with the cute tiny character of his.

[@_Bookmark_]

Every time I see James on EC I think "Oh thats a cute little exaggeration of the real guy." And then you see the guy in real life and I realize the artists were being conservative about his look.

[@Osteichthyes]

It's really great to see the faces behind the show, so many times it's easy to forget the people that actually work on things, so it's nice to see these lovely bunch of people in person.

[@jakfrost2]

Wow, what a beautiful panel. Every one of you being so open, and honest and filled with so much love. And what wonderful audience members and questions. I love your work and look forward to enjoying it for years to come. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make that happen.

[@maxjones503]

I'm mainly subscribed for extra history, I love that. They cover slightly lesser known - and yet absolutely vital - parts of history.

[@LamanKnight]

So, now I'm curious about the backstory, the conclusion, and really the whole overarching narrative surrounding James' plum. ...Actually, you could call it "James and the Giant Plum," and I wouldn't mind that at all.

[@epa2113]

Have you played VA-11 Hall-A? It's a reference. EDIT: Or maybe that was a reference too. *sigh* This is an infinitely deep well of references, isn't it.

[@Inferryu]

I don't really know, but it I think it comes from the Simpsons.

[@DrTssha]

...I *want* to say it's a reference to John Lennon and Yoko Ono? At the very least, I'm getting that *vibe?* Also, I'm remembering when Barney split from the B Sharps in The Simpsons and that was referenced. I'm 90% certain it's gotta be from some musician who asked for it. Maaaybe as a brown M&M clause so they'd know the venue owner actually read the contract? Hmm, probably not, but it's gotta be *something...*

[@bekheath9659]

They were almost certainly referencing The Simpsons, which may or may not be referencing something else.

[@chiblast100x]

I'm pretty sure the original Simpsons joke is just generically about Ono being very pretentious. That, in turn, is likely why Ragnar Kjartansson provided exactly such a plum for her exhibit in Reykjavik last year, where The Verge describes her request thusly: to “supply a vessel for the water to give to specific people,” to heal the minds of warlords or appreciate the courage of activists. (cf www.theverge.com/2016/10/27/13433304/yoko-ono-perfume-hat-art-exhibit) I personally appreciate what she was trying to do, but that phrasing of it...

[@destro_ult2605]

This panel needed a picture of Walpole with a beachball

[@jacobdriscoll8276]

Thanks a lot for going to the Dark Place. It's really, really useful to hear these stories of struggle. I hope things get continually better for everyone. Love.

[@truekey6821]

Guy at 34:42 said it and said it well. You can't always judge your self worth by how much money you make or the type of job you do. You got a fan base behind you that loves all of you for you who you are. Chin up, Lil

[@DezandFoxPlay]

Hey guys, thanks for answering my question (at 34:16). You're all awesome.

[@FearlessSon]

Thank you for helping to bring the mood back up to bright after my question before let things get a little dark.

[@DezandFoxPlay]

My pleasure :)

[@silversugar2140]

Thank you so much for sharing these panels with those of us who can't make it. I loved listening to your stories and advice. You're all wonderful people.

[@SuperVegetoGaming9000]

"Scott does word puns." Time to start rewatching the series again.

[@sarahmichaels8819]

I wish these Scott videos were more than once a year...

[@PedroBoteon]

I find your lack of Dans disturbing...

[@viktormon]

I still can't take how much like just a normal person Dan looks.

[@tygonmaster]

Well, they are all just normal people. XD Just a bunch of nuts trying to educate people, better the gaming industry, and improve some lives while having a good time doing it. I think so far they have succeeded quite well.

[@Yahriel]

He has a neck like everyone else. It's weird.

[@Ex0dus111]

+tygonmaster Nope. James is nothing like a normal person.

[@MrDUneven]

At least he has his podium

[@lokuzt]

That guy in 34:16 truly speaks for us. Keep up the awesome job, and when the naysayers come, just remember John Gabriel's greater internet F*wad theory.

[@DezandFoxPlay]

Thanks for the shout out, Rene! -Dez

[@Deep_wolf]

Dude you're the funny one, good job on that panel there.

[@DezandFoxPlay]

Thanks, haha!

[@ReleeSquirrel]

That was a delight to listen to and occasionally watch. Thank you for sharing your panel with everyone!

[@killerOfMoons]

Why let Scott and Walpole get in the way of a good panel?

[@Thraim.]

Oh boy, two in a day. Anyway: Did someone say Scott? Update your webcomic, Scott!

[@sirrobertwalpole1754]

Yeah

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

Spoiler alert : we now know who is responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union. It was Walpole.

[@brandon074]

ROFLOL

[@bismarckmech3170]

no it was the beach ball

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

The beach ball didn't move by itself. Walpole threw it.

[@bismarckmech3170]

the beach ball is possessed by a ghost.

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

Walpole's ghost.

[@ahkriin440]

1 hour of Extra Credits team talking ? Count me in!

[@breandank3026]

This was absolutely amazing, beautiful, and hilarious. Keep up the good work.

[@Jedimastercory11]

lol, I was hoping to see the audience reaction to the beach ball XD

[@kylehenderson9489]

James Plum-hat-now

[@Above_Average_Joe315]

Kyle Henderson make it a shirt

[@kylehenderson9489]

Joseph Spencer Why not. This'll be fun.

[@kyzonm.b.9615]

Thats a VA11-HAL-A

[@Lugmillord]

What are these things between your heads and torsos?

[@fernandobanda5734]

Lugmillord Not to mention the things connecting their hands to their bodies.

[@hackerdackers8832]

They used the real life engine to animate this.

[@Lugmillord]

@Fernando now that you say it, I see them, too. Weird. The camera must be very blurry, so that these clearly separate body parts overlap or something.

[@TheKikoozapi]

I normally never watch this kind of videos but I did and enjoyed it when it was you guys ! I felt like seeing long time friends joking around and it was great :3

[@OrbusS]

Why is there only one Dan?!

[@Caseyuptobat]

Because this is the Primest of all timelines.

[@andresarancio6696]

Only when the stars are right you can let more than one Danin the same place

[@ConSolo29]

"you have solved my scheduling puzzle" oh my god was there an elevator puzzle there

[@tj_kendon]

Thank you, you beautiful people.

[@CBusschaert]

The scott puns are very noticeable and very present and I literally can't imagine EC without those. Seriously, guys. You're all great, but Scott's visual puns are amazing.

[@Gyrusdorf]

Oh, hey! I was the second-to-last guy who asked the voice over question at around 51:17

[@pyrosianheir]

I'd watch the Scott video at the end, but I just got home (panel made for good driving tunes) and I watched it earlier in its separate upload. Super happy you did this, and I really hope that you can do it again next year since it was fun.

[@epicgamer8938]

I hope you guys had a great time

[@proto303]

that was the best youtube channel plug i've seen in a while

[@withaterriblefate]

It was great getting to meet you, Extra Credits. Hope you get the chance to talk more in the future.

[@Sunban_3]

Always love your work, super happy I found this channel 2 years ago, thank you for all of the content you create

[@shaiglatshtein7093]

i cant believe i missed this vid for 3 whole weeks! great panel, great people, great questions, and Great Scott!

[@felixp535]

Hi Belinda ;)

[@extrahistory]

I see you! :O

[@joshf2170]

Hugs for Lil! Tons of the internet you've never met before appreciate you! Keep being awesome! :)

[@KarolaTea]

Thanks for doing the panel and thanks for uploading it here! :D

[@benkai09]

Wait.... Pax west..... Third year...... BATTLE OF THE DANS!!!!!

[@Yahriel]

I still don't understand why they didn't call it Last Dan Standing.

[@Noctew]

In 100 years, KZbin archeologists will ask themselves: „Why did he want a hat with a plum?“ (Simpsons fans know)

[@maxybaer123]

you seem to be forgetting that in 100 years Simsons study will be a field

[@chloupichloupa]

A beach ball... How is that possible?

[@natkatmac]

I absolutely love Scott's punny imagery. On a tangent, if I were able to ask a question, I would ask what was the most frustrating work experience that you can look back on and laugh? Also, I can't wait for horror games in October!

[@gianlucaborg195]

Don't you guys ever give up! We love you guys!!!!

[@zodayn]

Thanks to PAX and EC for uploading this, as a European I really appreciate it.

[@JustJulyo]

I honestly thought everyone was just cartoon characters

[@TheScourgestrike]

I absolutely ADORE Extra History! To me, the entire series is excellent. There are two lessons that stick out to me are the First World War, and especially capping those off with "In Flander's Field" was touching. The other is Suleiman the Magnificent. On that, having the title character reflect with Justinian's memory was poignant and endearing. Thanks for Extra History, guys and gals.

[@kittymeowmeowKub]

5:02 hey dat's me

[@dittom3426]

Am I naughty or nice?

[@extrahistory]

The ghost of Comments Past, youthful and optimistic, smiles upon you. Perhaps you have made mistakes, perhaps you have regrets, but they do not have to "be" you now. The ghost of Comments Present, merry and bright, rejoices in your innate goodness and potential to make KZbin comments a better place for humankind. The ghost of Comments Future is silent and grim. It shows you visions of your forgotten legacy, if you choose to follow the ways of thoughtless and unkind trolls. Let it always be said of you, that you knew how to keep the KZbin comments well. May that be truly said of us, and all of us!

[@dittom3426]

Extra Credits Holy crap you actually responded. This totally made my day!

[@LolLol-ok4lr]

Lol :D

[@epicderp6167]

Y'all are laughing at the beach balls, but you don't know where it's been!! It's seen stuff, man! You don't know him!

[@bismarckmech3170]

the B E A C H B A L L Edit:geez i'm top comment other than the channel itself

[@DrTssha]

I expect it to be a recurring thing now, along with the Duke of Lorraine, the heck snake, and - you guessed it... ...it was Walpole.

[@HanabiraKage]

Extra Beachball

[@bismarckmech3170]

a little name change can't hurt can it?

[@HanabiraKage]

More than twice as many, even! XD

[@bismarckmech3170]

ok wow O:O

[@shiloh6915]

Thank you guys for all your hard work and dedication, you are amazing. I love your extra history sections, I just have one recommendation. Can you please cite what books, movies, or websites you use so i can read more into these interesting times. They are often times to rare to find or to many books have been written so you don't know where to start. Also it would be great to read what you read, to know what you cut, added, what deeper opinions and thoughts about the time period, etc. Can you please do this? Thanks!

[@TonyTheTGR]

Sorry I missed you kickass dweebs. PAX tickets disappearing in 15 seconds was not a factor I had anticipated!! Thank you for at least sharing your panel!

[@boreddev9252]

I miss you guys. Wish it was Magfest time again.

[@christinaeneroth675]

Regarding your lovely bad puns, as well as accessibility, I must tell you the puns help me hearing what you guys say. Essentially they function like a comedic subtitle for me. Keep up the good work!

[@maxsmith1335]

If you do a Dan recommends, you should check out Overly Sarcastic Productions, they are right up your alley.

[@Suppenfischeintopf]

So much love in the team

[@Ainianu1]

[@OtherWil]

Give me more Extra History!

[@peterpain6009]

A new video, great!

[@MrSceneNine]

First time I think I've seen Dan Prime in flesh form. Almost didn't think it was him to start with. Add live panel microphone voice to the plethora of different ways Dan sounds on this channel.

[@TheCreepypro]

What a great panel wish I could have been there but at least the questions that were asked were frickin' great I knew you had great fans but smart to the point every question was great? Not something you see at every Q and A panel truly a great panel

[@TheKikoozapi]

"I was found in a field" around 15.15 XD

[@resq2nick]

Wow speaker Dan sounds nothing like he does in the episodes

[@sol2544]

Well now that i know who reads our comments, hi Belinda!

[@Selrahcthewise]

Is Dan Jones still helping with the art?

[@neloughren4463]

Loved the Scott video

[@Astrobaut]

POV: You skipped to the end just to watch their reaction to Scott's video.

[@albertweber1617]

The Internet, where you can be both incredibly famous and dirt fucking poor.

[@noamblumberg6003]

For the next "Dan Recommends" - 'Downward Thrust', 'Ahoy', 'Turbo Button' are other channels which are really good.

[@NathanielJordan85]

Yes, thank you DasBoomer, that ringing was grating. @_@

[@Scarletraven87]

Oh there is James! And the others whose phisical features I fail to associate with any cartoonish face in particular. Well except for the community manager who reads youtube comments. She's awesome.

[@wafiro]

Thank you for making amazing vids and being like you are! Is there any way I could contact you? I have questions about my future that maybe you could help me answer. Love your content and I'm a really big fan. Keep making videos! We all enjoy them :)

[@cosmicwatermelon3927]

Yay Scott!

[@muraalia]

Aw, I would've wanted to see/hear the audience reactions to the video. :( Maybe split screen next time? Great panel though! Love you guys

[@LSIS12345]

Will we be getting a video on the fundamentals of the beach ball effect?

[@JoeWDye]

Awkward art girl was super awesome and cute :D

[@charlesmcdowell9436]

You got to keep a close eye on those types, their suicidal , and like weird stuff like pet spiders and rodents.

[@charlesmcdowell9436]

but cute non the less.

[@charlesmcdowell9436]

Scott's the man!

[@RothurThePaladin]

One day ill make it to Pax. one day.

[@bavarianmapper4566]

Your favourite extra credits member: -James- Scott

[@Rebecca-lk7rz]

I really hope the plumb hat gts at least one extra credits cameo

[@FearlessSon]

Oh hey, that is me at 27:19!

[@TheShiumy]

Finaly saw dan real face. I can die in peace

[@TobuscusGameing]

16:34 Omg that's me ,we're both named Dan ,both like green

[@artturikauppi8470]

[@hyperx6900]

[@therealgamingderps9608]

I really want the "How to defeat James Portnow" Book

[@NathanielJordan85]

Wow, good job West PAXEn! X-D

[@bagman017]

Hey! I was there! Y'all are awesome. That is all. (P.S. Now I know who's on the other side of these, so hi Belinda!)

[@extrahistory]

*waves*

[@floof_hair3857]

All of you are impossibly brave to take on the challenges of holding multiple jobs, especially considering that gaming is such a new medium. You guys are great, and you make me sad that i live in the southern hemisphere.

[@Epikification]

We need a James Recommends-Books stat! I need to know what to read to brush up on my Jung.

[@PlebNC]

Is Walpole the beach ball?

[@RazvanStrambu]

Hey! Hey! Hey guys! I love you :D I know you've got huge, loving, awesome fans all over the world so I'm here to add Bucharest, Romania to the list! :D You have made my life better! Thank you and keep being the awesome people you are! All of you! (Especially Scott tee hee :3)

[@matriarch918]

When are you going to make the voice acting studio? I would REALLY like to see it :)

[@NathanielJordan85]

Hi Bolinda!
