Poll: What brought you to The Escapist?

[The3rdEye]

It wasn't just the first thing that linked you to the Escapist, it was what embedded www.escapistmagazine.com into your browser history. Discuss, reminisce, get nostalgic >.>

Unforgotten Realms brought me to The Escapist;D

Eventually I made an account and here I am...(rocking like a hurricane).

 

[Mr. Grey]

You mean what kept us here?

The forums, I proto-lurked something fierce before actually creating an account.

As to what got me here? Some link I found regarding Zero Punctuation and I stuck around later for the forums more, though. Then there were some articles that popped up periodically from which I could read and thoroughly enjoy. I haven't seen such thought given to articles, at least not concerning video games and their history.

I saw ZP on G4 and decided to head over to the escapist to check it out, i then stayed for the other videos and the forums.

 

[Googooguru]

I was told there was free beer... disappointed again..sigh

 

[Jaranja]

Unforgotten Realms.

 

[The DSM]

The Escapists unoffical motto: Come for Zero Punctuation, stay for the forums.

Like most people I joined for ZP, lurked for a while, about a day, then joined, that was about a year ago, good times...

This thread has been done to death.

If this was anymore true a forum Mod would be the one saying this and would lock this thread.

I watched ZP on my friend's MySpace and I was so impressed, I came here to watch more.

The mods don't always lock the forums as long as it isn't recurring every day. It has been done to death.

ZP.

I came for Zero Punctuation after Pure Pwnage did a parody of him and I stayed for the forums. I've been here ever since and check it pretty much daily.

Maybe so, but you do have to admit there are far less productive things to comment on than taking the opportunity to share recollections. Stating the obvious, posting for the sake of it, pandering, or just raging.

Of course, posting with less than 4 hours sleep probably isn't the best idea either.

I was brought here to answer the thousands of "what brought you here" threads.

And lots of things. I believe ZP was the first thing I was introduced to.

 

[Arcticflame]

None of those. It was some silly competition ages ago.

Trust me boyo, I've been here for years. This thread has been done to death, dug up and the same process is repeated every couple of months.

Zero Punctuation brought me to the site.

Unskippable, ENN, MovieBob and Zero Punctuation made me bookmark the site.

The forums made me register.

Judging by that poll, I think Yahtzee should get a raise.
