In case you don't know, there is an online show that explores various topics in gaming called Extra Credits. If you're interested in things like design philosophy, gaming as an emerging art form, or media portrayal, I highly recommend it. If, however, you're the kind of person who says 'politically correct' a lot then you probably won't like many of these episodes.
