How did you find the Escapist?

I discovered a French online series called "The Visitor from the Future" (www.levisiteurdufutur.com) which I loved so much that I wanted to watch more online comedy series. Soon afterwards I discovered Space Janitors and that led me to the forum.
I was originally brought to the Escapist by m cousin showing me, you guessed it Zero Punctuation. I must say that this website is probably the best I've seen out there and even though I really liked the guys from Extra Credits, who were incidentally one of my favourite things from the website, I'm still happy I've stayed.
Came for the zero punctuation and stuck around for all the extras,Love loading ready run and I especially enjoy critical miss.
i was looking for reviews of some game ( dont remember which now ) and i found zero punctuation. for over a year (and im not kidding) i only saw zero punctuation videos and acutalyl though the deisgn of the site was bad. then i decided to register. my world was changed. this is the best community, gaming or otherwise, i have seen.
funny thing, type in "the escapist" in the google. zero punctuation comes in before the main site. its THAT popular.

Zero Punctuation. When Extra Credits was here, I got really into the community.
Plus the site's better than whatever the hell Screwattack turned into.

Came for Zero punctuation, originally found him while looking for reviews of Bayonetta, trying to decide whether it was more than its face value and worth my time, stayed for extra credits after that mainly.
And I'm still here because LRR, critical miss and Moviebob are kind of fun and anything is better than going back to IGN, plus I never could get into Penny Arcade, Extra Credits is still top notch though.

Zero Punctuation. Big surprise there.
A friend of mine told me about his Guitar Hero III review. Watched it, proceeded to laugh my ass off.
Been here ever since.

A friend showed me and another group of friend Zero Punctuation. I then made an account a little while later when I realised it had a forum.
Funny that I only really watch it just because it's there now though. I don't really "look forward" to it any more. I am on the forums more than anything else.

In the before times, back when I was in high school, YouTube was the only place I would frequent. I had a falling out with the Bob and George forums that I used to check every day, so most of my internet time was spent sifting through internet videos. I eventually came upon Yahtzee, yes, of course Yahtzee. Practically everyone came here because of that fast-talking Brit. He came out with his first two videos then was immediately snatched up by the Escapist, thus when he released his video saying he was now on the Escapist, I shrugged my shoulders and followed into the unknown. Eventually, after a while I began to see the other content, with Unforgotten Realms, De-Rez, and Unskippable. It took me a couple years before I went from lurker to finally joining the forums. Now I'm here.
It's been six whole years since that time. Damn I feel old now...

A guy I used to LARP with mentioned Yahtzee's reviews on chat one day. I watched them all several times (he had almost a year's worth at that time), and eventually started looking at the other stuff on this site. Also, my profile turns 4 years old next week! I'm pretty sure I lurked for a couple of months before finally registering, though.
