my favourite show is extra credits.
but tbh zero punctuation must be the most vital show on the escapist.

Same here. The LRR folks do provide them with a buttload of high quality content though, and if they left it would all go.Nieroshai said:
ZP. Check any topic where people ask what brought you here and you will find ZP covers more than half of why.
ZP is the most popular and really the reason myself and a lot of other people came to this site. But it's all the shows that keeps everyone coming back here day after day. Back a few months ago when there was nothing worth watching on Thursdays I wouldn't come on Thursdays. Now I have a show to watch.
The Escapist is solid with their planning, by having a high quality show every day of the week (except weekends, really guys I need SOMETHING on Sundays, even some news i get soooo bored...) Every week I tune into, LRR, Big Picture, ZP/ENN, EC, EttM, and honestly I check most of the other ones out every week (may skip an Unskippable, daily drop or something else).
Would this website shrivel up and die if any of those left? No. Would there be a loss in traffic? probably. Would they survive? Definatly.

Read the thread, chuckled, voted, posted, and this is what I say:
As it has been stated in numerous post, before this one, it's quite clear to me that the loss of ZP would cause a, enormous, downfall in traffic.
IMO, I laugh equally hard and loud at LRR as ZP, and that's what dragged me here. Laughter.

I called those results. Called it!
Anyway, celebrations aside, it's true. The articles are good, but there are many more people that come here for mostly just the videos. I, like many other people, came here for Zero Punctuation. I stayed for Zero Punctuation. I joined for?well?I joined to make a thread that was, in hindsight, a really bad idea. But still, Zero Punctuation remains one of the cornerstone shows on this site. As such, if it stopped, the site would probably lose a lot of visitors. Then the site would probably lose a lot of money (this is only a projection). So yeah, Zero Punctuation.

Put it this way. ZP brought a lot of people to this site (including me), and continues to bring a lot of traffic (as far as I am aware). I am unsurprised by the response to this poll.
HOWEVER
I don't think the Escapist would be in any kind of real 'trouble' without Yahtzee. There are so many awesome shows on this site, not to mention the articles video reviews, quizzes, community etc. I think 'trouble' is going a little far. The Escapist is bigger than Zero Punctuation, and although it brings in a lot of new people, I like to think they stay for more than just a weekly dose of caustic British videogame critique.
