Zero Punctuation, to be the next in the line of people brought by Yahtzee. Then I started watching other stuff, then signed up for the forums. And now you know.

ZP. I discovered Yahtzee on his second video, watched the third, and then he got signed to Escapist.

At least I can safely say I'm a ZP hipster, I was into it while it was still underground.

I started checking in on occasions after being linked here from fullyramblomatic.com a good while back. I saw he had added a video which mentioned he was going to start making reviews for The Escapist and then after a long time I decided to join the forum. I don't remember how long it was between watching and joining, but I think there were only 3 or 4 ZP videos when I first got here.

I started lurking here when Zero Punctuation came here. Took me about a year to get round to signing up for the forums. So yeah, like almost everybody else, came here for Yahtzee, stayed for the forums.

I am the 99%.

I knew one of the moderators in real life. I don't think he does it any more though. He was always wearing escapist t-shirts so I got curious and looked it up.

Somebody in a small forum I used to frequent was a really big fan of Extra Credits, so he linked it. Here I am. Watched a lot of ZP, discovered the forums, lurked forever before I made an account though.

Woohoo, I am not all that mainstream after all :D

Yahtzee and Zero Punctuation, years and years ago - took me a while to get around to exploring the rest of the site but glad I did :)

I wanted to find more info on the Wii motion plus, so I did a quick search on Google for Wii sports resort, and it was the week ZP posted it's review of the game, I have been coming back for everything sense then.

Friend told me about Zero Punctuation. Watched a few episodes. Came here and watched more. Made account and participated in forums whilst starting to watch other shows. That's the story of me coming here. Not interesting, very generic, and not that long either.

I honestly can't remember. I was lurking here a while before I made an account. It was probably ZP or something from LRR.
