How did you first end up at the escapist?

[PrimoThePro]

A friend who watched ZP sent me a link to a thread on the forums. I've been a plague to them ever since.

WE JUST CAN'T GET RID OF YOU. D:<
I kid. You are a delight, ninja. [sub]I will tell you you are a ninja.[/sub]

Spoiler: Here you go...

You...

Spoiler: are...

are...

Spoiler: total...

NINJA! :3

ZP, followed by a few weeks of lurking, followed by occasional posts when I feel like contributing.

I watched Pure Pwnage and they had a ZP ripoff. Then I saw ZP and loved him so I went to see more and came to here. A month later, I became a member and now lurk the forums.

This. Also, I was a huge troll.

$10 says 95% of people will say ZP.

Wait am I given or must give $10

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I was linked to Unskippable from another forum.

 

[Eumersian]

Friend showed me ZP. I was quite happy with it, and decided to watch videos on the site for a while. Then I got into the community.

 

[crudus]

I followed Graham and Paul.

Back in December 2008 my eldest brother showed me Zero Punctuation. Eventually thanks to his Halo Wars episode I started checking out other things here like Unskippable and eventually the forums.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

Yahtzee. I saw him on XPlay and looked up his Youtube videos, which lead me here.

 

[insectoid]

Found the site through ZP, stayed because I thought the articles were fantastic; then slowly made my way into the forums.

 

[Sacman]

I followed Yahtzee on Youtube for a while and he brought me here but it was a while before I signed up and started posting...<.<

 

[LornMind]

Come for the ZP, stay for the MovieBob. And Shamus. And Critical Miss. And reviews. And the discussions. Yeah...

 

[ForrestDeath]

A ZP link to my fantasy football league lead to me showing up weekly, then daily whenthey added other interesting things...

 

[Antonio Torrente]

I heard about the prototype vs. infamous cross-dressing contest made by yathzee and stumbled upon here, then watched the said review and eventually watch zp weekly.
Also the forums are easy to use and the members are great people not assholes.
Few weeks of watching ZP and reading the forums later I decided to make an account by connecting my facebook account to the escapist and you could say the rest is history.

$10 says 95% of people will say ZP.

$10 says you won't bother to do the math.

OT: when looking for a new Mmorpg I though about eve so I looked online and found one from Zero Punctuation (on a different site to the escapist) so i then looked through you tube and found a few but alas this was futile, but one day I typed in Zero punctuation on Google and found my way to the Escapist.

 

[AgentBJ09]

Oddly enough, I found this site thanks to another site that was named "The Escapist."

http://www.theescapist.com/index.htm

It's a site for role playing studies and culture, and that lead me to The Escapist through Shamus Young.

 

[luckshotpro]

exactly the same

 

[GeneticallyModifiedDucks]

A person on another forum sent me a link to Final Fantasy XIII ZP. Needless to say, I was hooked.

 

[Antonio Torrente]

It was so long ago, I don't remember.

I think I was banned from gamespot's forums and I was an internet forum refugee looking for a home.

goes to show that gamespot sucks, btw if you don't mind asking, why did you got banned?
