A friend once showed me a couple of Zero Punctuation videos and after a while I simply decided to make an account and write on here.

As you can see it's worked out pretty well for me so far.

Came because of Zero Punctuation which was introduced to me by the PC Gamer magazine. Lurked for about 3 days before a zombie thread popped up on forums and I decided to join to comment on it.

I was brought here by a friend. Well, my boyfriend actually. But I decided to join because there's actually a civilized community here and that's really quite impressive for... the internet.

Just realised my answer states I was brought here by three of the four options. Oh well :p
Welcome to the Escapist. Indeed we are civil for an internet website/forum. But then again, this isn't a ordinary website, this is the Escapistmagazine.
And why I joined this site...well, I came here for no reason. I found this site in a search.

Stumbled upon a certain video series.
Read some hilarious news.
Noticed that there's a planetside key giveaway...

I had been watching zero punctuation for ages, and one day I decided to give the forums a visit. Then I realised the great community the escapist had going on, so I joined.

1. Vids bought me here (to be more specific, Zero Punctuation).

2. Here I go again........

Hmmm....

I am Rob Cox, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat off his brow? "No" Says the man in Washington, "it belongs to the poor". "No" says the Man in the Vatican, "it belongs to God". "No" says the man in 4Chan, "it belongs to the porn". I rejected those answers. Instead; I chose something different. I chose the Impossible. I chose. The Escapist. A forum where the swearing would be uncensored, where the opinionated would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the noob. And with the ache of your fingers, The Escapist can be yours as well....

Sorry for the somewhat inappropriate thread then guys. But it's cool to know about peoples' Escapist discovery. As for the videos, I do like most of them but There Will Be Brawl is my favourite. Nivag showed me them a while back and made me watch a few. They're funny :) It's really TWBB that brought me here but again, it's the awesome people that kept me here.

So what you're saying is that if I work hard enough then I could become the proverbial lord and master of The Escapist?

I was looking up some reviews of F.E.A.R: Perseus Mandate, and came across a youtube video of Zero Punctuation; I then saw that it had been moved to the Escapist, so I decided to check it out. After about half a year of lurking the forums, I decided to make an account.

Thanks for giving me another one to steal.

Eventually I'll make up my own one......

Brought here by Zero Punctuation.

Welcome to the Escapist. Please ignore the skeleton in the closet and the troll forest to the east. Do not feed the trolls, and if the get out of hand, summon the Banhammer.

On a serious note, I came for Zero Punctuation, stayed for the forums.
One of the only ones on the internet that can hold (relatively) serious deabtes with (the occasional) intellectual member of the interwebby society. ;)

I stumbled upon this website because I wanted a review of Bioshock and I founf Yahtzee's review of it on YouTube which led me to the Escapist where I have been squatting ever since. I tend to post on here a lot because I'm trying to do work but it's incredibly dull so I get easily distracted... oh yeah and the great community and all that.

Like a lot of other ZP brought me here, but I have since discovered ALOT more. Also it's the first civilised forum I've seen.

My friend originally told me about Zero Punctuation which I found to be quite the awesome.
Then I read the forums, enjoyed what I read and decided to join.
