How did you find the Escapist,and why did you make a profile??

[Mastercylinder]

A friend told me to watch some ZP. After becoming hooked on that, I talked with him again,and after dropping MST3K's name, he recommended Unskipable, and I became hooked on that too. then I just started wandering around here and realized I really liked the fast paced forums around here, so I made an account.

I wanted to tell people about my sexuality. It seemed like a good idea at the time. ^^

 

[XandNobody]

Lets see, I came here for Zero Punctuation, and lurked for like, a long time.

Why did I make an account and start posting? That, was more because I was bored and doing so sounded like fun. I might also have been drinking at the time of that decision.

Still, either way, it was a good idea.

A friend sent me the ZP inFAMOUS episode and I died. I made an account for the forums actually lol xD

 

[r0kle0nZ]

On this, like others, I was exploring the vast waste of Youtube. Then, I stumbled upon a hilarious review of Fable? I wanted to see more and it lead me here. I created an account before to disagree with someone, but I forgot that password. . . So here I am with a "newer" account. Happy Days

Someone linked to the Zero Punctuation episode for Bioshock on a forum I frequent, although it wasn't until a later March Madness that I registered here.

*takes a shot* found the the place because of zero punctuation awhile ago,gradually watched all of yahtzee's videos while waiting for more got hooked on moviebobs stuff then stated reading the comic, by this time i thought, fuck it I'm here pretty often already iv wanted to post on a few threads but always stopped myself for some reason so i just made a profile and have been posting ever since.


TL/DR: lured here by the awesome magnificent bastard that is yahtzee, lurked for quite some time then made a profile,

I was watching one of those phoenix wrong videos on youtube and one of the skits had a British guy's voice and a nerdy guy's voice talking about Josh Weden. I found it hilarious and searched for the source which was Yahtzee Croshaw. So After I watched everything Zero Punctuation related on Youtube, I followed him to this site. This was about the time Extra Creditz got it's first episode. Then i was like, hey, WHY NOT?

Yatzee's Turok review linked from VG Cats.

March Mayham 2009.

Not really an interesting story.

Back when I was Collage, someone showed me ZP. It was funny for a while, but I never felt he was anything you could base your purchases off of.

I recently got bored, started messing around with a pen and paper, I fucked up a scenario online with said game idea and someone pointed me toward Extra Credits. Escapist has become my "Reddit" ever since. I decided I wanted to register to post comments on a few places, but I'm iffy in joining random communities. The Rage trailer finally got me in.

Kinda sick of the Regenerative Health system in FPS's. Man, that just kills 90% of games that features it for me.

Edit: Oh, and the quizzes got me too. I must take them!

 

[Ice Car]

I found it by someone recommending it as a good forum to go to about games. I joined merely for forums. The Socialista badge is perfect for this reason and why I've kept it on 24/7 since I got it. I'd link the topic but I'm too lazy to do it and I'm temporarily banned on the forum for trying to stand up for another friend, against a moderator, which is against the rules. (Do not confront a moderator in an open, public forum, the rules said, which I forgot despite having been there for 2 years and having 6,000 posts.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Yatzee lead the way from his youtube channel when he review Fable and the Darkness. I spend quite a while lurking at the forum until I decided to maky as well join so I can post my opinions on the topic.

 

[Konatacalypse]

Was linked here once.


Wanted to be able to post if I wished.

 

[LiquidGrape]

Came for Zero Punctuation, stayed for Extra Credits.

 

[AWAR]

I came here when Yahtzee moved over from youtube. After a lot of time of going through the forums I decided to create an account and started posting and arguing lol...
Funny thing I rarely do read articles and the only show I'm watching is ZP ^^

 

[Wintermoot]

my neighbor showed me ZP and I noticed that allot of interesting was discussed on the forum which is why I joined,

 

[Strixvaliano]

I found the escapist via Zero Punctuation, I watched all the ZP and didn't pay escapist any real attention until Kotaku migrated to their butt ugly layout. I ended up not going there anymore and needed a new gaming site so that's how I got here.

 

[benvorbeck]

Found the escapist via Zero Punctuation. and always good reading... this is my bedtime reading

 

[Drummie666]

I found zero punctuation.. I don't recall how. Then I started watching the forums go by and wanted to join in on the discussion.

 

[Atheist.]

I followed a link to Yahtzee's Halo 3 review and ended up here.

Then I lurked around for a few years untill I eventually made an account.

Not to be a dick, but I'd hardly call 9 months a few years. The Halo 3 review was in September of '08 and your join date is July '09.


OT : Personally I followed ZP from Youtube to the Escapist. I have a feeling a lot of people found this site through ZP one way or another.
