Probably. I've never met anyone in real life from here, but that MIGHT be because I really don't have any friends here.

I met dastardly at the expo... he's about the only one I've ever talked to on here and met :(
I'm pretty shy so I never really asked anyone's usernames, and I'm new so no one was looking for me :/

I saw Psychictaco once... as I was walking into a panel, then never again (you need to wear the taco at all times damnit).

Oh wait! Do contributers count? I met Gav after the Concert! It was awesome, dude is one of my favorite musicians of all time. Seriously! Wish I wasn't so damned anxious otherwise I might've been able to have a legit conversation. Shaking hands was good enough I guess

I also got Yahtzee to sign my copy of Mogworld, but I didn't really talk to him. I kinda got the I'm-not-really-comfortable-being-famous-don't-talk-to-me vibe so I just shuffled along and didn't say much.

I saw Jim on floor once as well, but he was talking to someone else so I didn't say anything.


This is depressing. Next year I will find ALL THE ESCAPIST. You guys better meet up with me. Despite the avatar I'm not really evil... well, chaotic evil anyway >:]

EDIT: Oh yeah! Susan Arendt was behind (and to the left of me) at the concert. Dat Shepard dance lol

Dude... I don't have any peripheral vision in that thing! I need to see my sides to make sure no one gets hit with it!

OT: People, the Taco is single! I repeat, the taco is single!

Because meeting someone who also posts in these forums would be a dream come true! :D

I've met [user]Souplex[/user] due to the fact my younger brother smashed my computer monitor (he was nice enough to give me an old one he wasn't using). After about a month or two of sending messages back and forth after that, he asked me out, and we've been together since. And yes, I wuv him a big huggy bunch. X3

Fairly recently I met Mr. Dunne when he took a trip to New York, and I'm still surprised he was able to tolerate me for as long as he did (I'm terribly boring, and I was nervous).

I've met one person on here I consider an okay friend. We write to each other over the messaging system and we've talked about meeting in real life, but we're both pretty busy right now, so it's probably not going to happen any time soon.

I'm looking forward to maybe meeting my friend in real life someday though.

A likely story. You were just going incognito so you could tag all the brovengers with listening devices weren't you.

hmm considering I just lurk on almost every thread, I don't think anyone would know who I am.
The meeting would be largely uneventful honestly, since I am not a particularly good conversationalist.

You fool, don't say that here!

I mean, yes! My story is likely!

I blend into a crowd with ease, I'm the human chameleon!

I mean, it's not like...

Meeting love?

Nope, none that I'm aware of, and not really high on my list of things to do while I'm here.
Seems like some of the lads here will be disappointed, you have quite the following.

You heartbreaking kitchen appliance you.

I few people I play/talk with. We play some League, pretty much only Padwolf (who is entirely too cheerful for League to handle i'm sorry to say) and Rookie with his entourage in tow of course. An entourage that gave me a new nickname within 5 minutes.

I'm afraid i'm going to have to inflict my sub-par Riven gameplay upon you next time sir. That Championship skin needs some breaking in. At least you don't object when I lock Orianna anymore. That's a good sign XD

I'm going to have to buy her Bladecraft skin to celebrate. For as we all know skins make you at least 50% better at that particular character

Oh and Fappy and I occasionally gush over Persona 4 together in a few random threads. Good times.

They're gonna have to work harder at it if they want to have a shot with this toaster. :D

Well this one time I met-...
Uhhh, one time I met up with my frie-...

None of the people I really used to talk to on here are around today so I don't think I'll be meeting up with anybody soon. I wouldn't mind going to an Expo someday so I could get pictures of Escapists in their true forms and bring them back to the boss.

I don't want to talk about the goings-on at Escapist Expo! lol. j/k

in all seriousness though, my bf and I had been together a couple months before discovering escapist back in 2008(?). Since then I've gotten an imp tattoo and have had to apologize profusely anytime I take off my shirt. JUST KIDDING! Not about the tattoo, but about ever apologizing for said tattoo.

I REGRET NOTHING.

I wouldn't know where to find you people, so except for that one time I slept with Jim Sterling I never met any Escapist in person.

Meet people From this site? Have you gone MAD? That is probably some kind of horrible idea that I have not considered much...

Other than chatting with people more than I ever thought I would have from an internet site which I can't claim to have very many connections or close relation to, and yet still somehow making some friends that would be fascinating to meet with.

Marriage and all that? A bit too mushy, but its a fun thought, I guess.

I actually was not aware of your female status 0_0

I feel like an ass now...

OT: Seeing as I stay pretty far from most other Escapists, no, haven't met up with anyone just yet. I would have gone to the expo but then... military obligations >.>

If you guys set the next expo to be in December next year, I'm sure I could come!

Being a lover and being married are the same thing? Huh... news to me.

No to your over-qualified questions in the thread, yes to the title, yes to the extra.

I just now realized I have been on the site 3 years and my two "friends" added me for the badge. I generally don't talk to people online so I wouldn't know.
