Yahtzee with ZP, i somehow miraciously found his video after 1-2 of his first escapist reviews, i was searching for game reviews in google(maybe game magazine reviews?) at the time and just stumbled apon it, and pretty much kept me coming back every wendnesday ever sine. Don't really care much about the most the content tho some is just to geeky for me and not gameplay related. Every 3rd new update and video seems to be about WoW these days.

Every time I would watch ZP I would take a gander over at the featured forums column and read some of the witty replies escapists would post. One day, I ended up joining the forum so I could post my own witty smart-ass comments. :)

This is actually my second account though, I lost the password for my previous one (it had around 200 posts)

Zero Punctuation. I lurked the forums before joining. I still come here for the forums and ZP only.

I found the Prototype Zero Punctuation episode after the...well...womanly pictures of Cole and Alex Mercer.
Me too, those images plague my dreams for days.
Same here, tho I printed them out and they are now on my wall.
Some people say that were aroused by that picture of Alex Alexa.

The Pure Pwnage parody of Zero Punctuation that the Escapist apparently got really pissed about. Cheer up, Escapist! It brought a lot of people to the site.

I just thought it was great, so I looked it up on YouTube and the actual videos were in the "related videos." I followed those links and ended up on the Escapist.

I started visiting the site every week and the topics in the "Latest Posts" sidebar caught my interest, but I never actually wanted to sign up. I lurked a bit, and eventually one kid's topic made me sign up. Been visiting almost daily ever since.

I hope they pay Yahtzee a lot because he seems to be the cause of 99% of the community being here.
Myself included.

I used to skulk around I-Am-Bored.com, and let me tell you, the comments section there is horrendous. But one day a video arrived, and someone commented that 'it was essentially a copy of this guy' linking to Zero Punctuation. Rather than just leaving the site afterwards, I lurked a little bit...and the rest is history.

it was around the time X-Play on G4 started previewing Zero Punctuation, I loved them so I went to YouTube, but the vids started getting removed so I came to the original site.

My brother showed me Zero Punctuation when I was about 11, and I watched a few episodes, but then I forgot about him for a couple of years; then, one magical day when I was bored, I remembered him but forgot where he was on the internet, so I Googled him and ended up here. After coming back every week, I started checking out some forums, and decided I wanted to contribute to them, so I became a member. Been on it nearly every day since.

I came over here at March Madness. Lurked for a year, then joined the next. Incredibly, it wasn't for ZP.

Someone was talking about a video called... "The Final Final Fantasy", I think. I don't really remember. And then I saw Unskippable. I've been here since.

Just replace 11 with 15, and there you have it.
