If not for the Escapist I...

[L3m0n_L1m3]

I.... wouldn't..... have found Yahtzee. I guess.

 

[Motiv_]

I wouldn't have met all you awesome motherfuckers. That's right, even you, drunk uncle Steve.

 

[Wolfenbarg]

Would never have enjoyed the brilliance of commodore Hustle/LoadingReadyRun, Apocalypse Lane, and Doomsday Arcade. I'd have missed the insights of Extra Credits, and I'd still be discussing games on GameFAQs. Now I love GameFAQS because of the intentional stupidity that makes the boards endlessly amusing, but it's easier to have actual discussion here.

 

[Dyp100]

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

You're back, Pete? I thought you had enough of the site.


OP: Never would have found other greats part of the Internet nor read some great discussions. To be fair, I've not been making any friends like everyone else, if anything I've made enemies.

 

[ArMartinez02]

Well, I've seen some funny people posting in the forums, always make me giggle, funny replies, I feel save while being in The Escapist, its like a second home away from home.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I would probably have a girlfriend, a good job and general productivity......

 

[Bernzz]

- Would not have some good friends, one especially who has since introduced me to a wider range of music.
- Would not have seen Zero Punctuation and gotten into some extra games through that.
- Would not have seen ANY of the video series on this site, thus depriving me of many laughs.
- Would have a shitload less to do every day on the Internet.

 

[SimuLord]

- would probably have taken up model railroading or something, losing interest in gaming for want of a good place to talk about it.

- 'tis about it, really.

 

[FalloutJack]

...would probably just spend more time on Newgrounds.

 

[Drakmorg]

Would just be playing Fallout New Vegas...
Also, I wouldn't be able to watch Zero Punction

That's all I've got, I'm pretty tired right now though

 

[Racecarlock]

I wouldn't have an entire community ready to give me constructive criticism on my reviews and thought articulation within 5 minutes of posting. Plus, I wouldn't have such great friends! We should start an Xbox Live escapist club just so we can game together as well as talk. No, seriously, i'd like to get that started. This is the best community that i'm a part of, and without it I'd have probably lost my faith in humanity a long time ago. You guys rule!

 

[Mcupobob]

Would have missed out on a lot of laughs and good people.

 

[Vault101]

...Wouldnt have been able to rant all my opionions to the entire interent
...would be playing more games on my computer rather than freaking out that PC gaming is dead and spent hours upon hours reading articles and forums to renforce my gaming choice

 

[Jezzascmezza]

... Wouldn't have an intelligent forum to go to without too many vulgar teenagers posting weird crazy BS.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

I probably wouldn't have finished the Mass Effect games. But, alas, the discussion seemed so fun so I rushed through the first one, immediately bought the second one and rushed through as well.

Fantastic games. Thank you, certain members of the Escapist.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

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.

Youre a good friend as well!!!


If not for the Escapist i would have a girlfriend....I'm not joking on this one!

 

[xdom125x]

i'd be trapped at tvtropes.
