If not for the Escapist I...

[Hollock]

Probably wouldn't have gotten into anime as much
wouldn't have given any modern rap music a chance
Wouldn't have seen Donnie Darko
Been to TvTropes
would have lost my mind the first summer I signed up
Plus lots lots more

...would be far worse off, (emotionally, mostly), than I am now.
...would not have started watching/reviewing as many movies as I do.
...watched a bunch of movies that my friends here recommended.
...would be bored far more often than I am.

 

[lewism247]

I wouldn't have:

Heard a LOT of great music
Seen a lot of great videos
Know as much about game development
Know about game news until a lot later

And most importantly, I wouldn't have met a lot of great people.

 

[no_more_usernames]

started a career in video game art design =) i really cannot prais this site enough for straightening my life out and helping me discover what i wanted to do with my life

 

[delet]

I'd not have a lot of the friends I have now, some of whom are really good friends.
I'd be down two bands: Voltaire and Within Temptation.

Erm... those are the main things, I guess.

 

[RatRace123]

I'd be really bored and probably use my computer a lot less.
I wouldn't have come to appreciate the art of web serieses as much as I do.
I'd have to keep all of my thoughts bottled up inside my head where they can fester into some form of debilitating mental sickness (rough guess as to that being what would happen.)
And worst of all I'd still be posting on IGN where all my opinions would be ignored because I don't have a post number in the millions and I don't get all frothy at the mouth for the latest FPS.

 

[kommando367]

I wouldn't have ZP and would have 1 less place to get news from.

[Gaz6231]

[Phlakes]

What WOULD I have done if not for The Escapist?

Spoiler: Spoiler Alert-

Not very much.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I wouldn't have met the love of my life.

 

[crudus]

I would probably be spending my time on constructive things instead(probably porn though).

If not for the Escapist I...

Wouldn't have met some really great people.

[blankedboy]

Oh, so much. The Escapist had majorly affected my life for the better, I'd probably be in depression by now if not for you guys ^^
