Shows mysteriously gone from escapistmagazine.

[Wil213]

They had loads of good shows. I remember series' like 'Kung Fu Grip' that disappeared after a few episodes and 'Drawn By Pain' was good to. [It finished rather the was cut so ok.]

By the way why isn't the Escapist making shows like these anymore?

they are trying. look at space janitors.

the site is, like all other sites, limited to a budget (thats why you shouldnt use adblock. they get money from the ads)

in other words:
in order to be able to afford new series and content.

money makes the world die old and bitter go around..

I agree. It's been pretty much constant with good video series. What drew me to the site in the first place ans still draw me back.

What every did happen to space janitors? I really liked and I thought it was doing alright.

There was a point in time at which the escapist launched a huge number of new shows at the same time, I think it probably stretched their budget a bit thin, Creature Caster Masters, Pro-Gamer gauntlet, the D&D one whose name I forgot.

Lisa Foyles Top 5 is about the only series that isn't around any more which I remember well enough to miss.

Most of the shows that have disappeared were terrible, so good riddance. I disliked apocalypse lane, I disliked Game Dogs, I disliked Doral-herpaderp, I disliked unforgotten realms, I found creature caster masters really fucking unfunny, same with Space Janitors, EC was pretty cool though, Rebecca Mayes and Lisa Foiles aren't exactly going to be missed and I hit it with my axe was pretty...okay it was terrible.

Extra Credits left due to financial disputes.
Doraleous went on hiatus while John Etheridge did a side project, and their contract lapsed, or something similar.
The ones that made me the saddest were the loss of De-Rez, and Unforgotten Realms. (Half of you probably won't know what those are, damn kids!)

Some De-Rez!? Listen here, I know for a FACT that Yatzee is the funniest thing on the internet, and theres no way in hell I'm going to take a chance on something that MIGHT be funny!

Really though, I do wish I could find the old De Rez Videos, Unforgotten Realms has its own site for the old stuff but De Rez is just gone.

Edit: never mind I found it, I'm going to go watch some. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/de-rez

I enjoyed the top 5 series that girl had for awhile before it disappeared.

Who was that woman the Escapist contracted because they thought vacuous girls with nice breasts but nothing of interest to say would generate hits if they were allowed to make pointless lists?

I think you may be talking about Lisa Foiles. She was alright, but when comparing her top five lists to the other people on the site she did just seem to be providing fanservice.

I wouldn't say Extra Credits "mysteriously" vanished.

It was all over the forums when it happened.

Yep, I remember that as well. I still watch all the new ones on their new host. I love that show... I pretty much only watch Movie Bob here now.

Rawne? How did you get out of your cage.

You left it unlocked while you went to get a larger beating stick mistress.

Extra Credits is now on Penny Arcade. This apparently occurred after some drama. On the plus side, Penny Arcade is worth visiting now.

Unforgotten Realms was the reason I first used this site. De-Rez was pretty funny too.

/sigh, I am not usually that absent minded. *Tugs up her bustier* ok the beatings will be harder..you DID take advantage of my forgetfulness lol

I'm going to assume any old Escapist shows that are no longer listed on the archives have, for one reason or another, been fully returned to their creators for their own use.
