Well the guy who made Unforgotten Realms made WoW machinimas on YouTube that I watched and since this was the only website I could find Unforgotten Realms on, I went here.
"I cast Flare!"

I kept getting linked to Zero Punctuation videos by friends, and I ended up watching the whole series one night and loved it. After that I started to look at other videos (Extra Credits in particular), then read some articles. Pretty soon I was visiting the site every other day.

Eventually I found the forums; not only are the Escapist forums the one place I've found where people can discuss video games without being plagued by trolls and flaming, but the discussions themselves are much deeper and more intelligent than any other boards I've frequented. I also love that they aren't restricted to discussion just about games - everything seems to crop up here, and it's all treated with the same level of maturity and respect for differing opinions (even when the issue being dealt with is really contentious). That's what made me want to create a profile.

zero punctuation, I was following yahtzee on fullyramblomatic's terrible blue layout a long time ago.

A lot of people here have wrong opinions, which is why I post.

Friend told me about the hilarious show on this site known as Zero Punctuation.
Few days later, I watched it...all of it.
Then I found out about the zero punctuation themed games available on the escapist and decided to get an account, just for the heck of it.

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.
My mistake.

My sense of time is fading, I guess.

I don't remember how, but I heard about zero punctuation and came to check it out. I don't quite remember when, but unforgotten realms was still ongoing. And then I lurked around, reading all the witty things people wrote until a few weeks ago when I saw a thread, came up with an excellent reply, and created an account so that I could write it before anyone else.

Good old Yahtzee moved from Youtube to here, and after lurking for a few years, I made an account. (Like half the population of the Escapist. ) Seriously though, Yahtzee is probably responsible for 50% of this website's traffic.

Zero Punctuation. For a while I just came here for that. Then I saw other stuff. :D

And then LRR partnered with The Escapists so it became one more thing to come here for.

My brother once showed me a Yahtzee video, loved it. Started coming to the site, watching other stuff, and sometimes reading some forums.
Then, after seeing that it's possible to get badges for watching stuff, I made a user. I figured, might as well get something if I'm gonna watch all those videos for free!
That's right. I'm that low of a person.

Zero Punctuation, like everyone else. The first video of him that I was linked to, was the one for MGS 4.

I was bribed to come here for the usergroups, and I stayed for the videos and forums. Also I forgot what I was being bribed with, and I forget whenever I am told. >_>

I came on this site for unforgotten realms if I recall. Then discovered yahtzee and well, just kept on watching vids and gradually liking other series.

Made an account one day out of boredom, only really started using it for march madness.
