There was a thread over at tesnexus where the Oblivion video was linked. Do i even have to say which Oblivion video it was?
Well i wondered why this rather, erm... i think i shall call it "criticism focused on the negative aspects" didn't garner much attention from the Trolls. Curious, some People over there certainly make the impression of being very very very sensitive. And the Moderators over there are very protective.
Actually, i once told a moderator in a chat that the moderation is a bit strict in my Opinion (i didn't forget that, i wrote "in my Opinion") and i was banned for a month.

So this stood out for me. Yahtzee seems to have a talent similar to my own; i can talk down pretty much anyone under any circumstances. I have the Ability to bend logic in a way that it fits into any brain, no matter how much alcohol it contains.

I've talked down drunk people, people on different kinds of drugs and people with mental disorders. No problem.


I thought this little talent was rather unique. And then i see that yahtzee guy who rants about things that have fans.


And he claims that he doesn't really know why he doesn't get too much hatemail. Yeah right.


One might think that i went into hyperbole mode when i talk about "Fans". I did not. Its actually easy for me to calm a drunk Person. I find the right balance of soothing and threats of violence. But i have to be very careful about fanboys. Very careful.
And he rants about new games every week. If i had a hat, it would be off to this guy.

Can't remember. I think I was drunk and just googled 'VIDEOGAMES, MAN' or something like that.

My friend showed me one of the first ever Zero Punctuations and after that I was hooked.

I love and watch/read almost everything on the site now.

Friend of mine already found out about it. Frequently linked me to Zero Punctuation, Then decided to spend some more time on the actual site.
Pretty much this...

I started watching ZP on my own after some time... and some time later I saw the "latest posts" and "hot threads" that got me interested reading the forums (and not actually participating until recently).
Well, now I watch ZP, Extra Credits, Escape to the Movies, and Lisa Foiles' Top 5... and participate in the forums.

I gotta say, The Escapist got me hooked, I'm visiting this site at least once a day! I gotta say, I don't regret signing up here! :)

Ashamed to say, Zero Punctuation. It is a drug, and if I don't get my weekly fix, I get cranky.

95% of people are probably going to say Zero Punctuation.

As for me...Zero Punctuation.

I believe it was a recomendation from a friend to watch Unforgotten Realms[sadly no longer on the site =(] that brought me here. Zero Punctuation got me to stick around and by curiosity I started watching other features like Unskippable, Escape to the Movies, Doomsday Arcade and reading Broken Pixels. Since then I've gotten to watch great new material like The Big Picture, Extra Credits and Top Five with Lisa Foiles. Somewhere along the line a quiz I wanted to take convinced me to make an actual account so here I am. Never cared to post anything till about now.

Cheers,

2. mass effect review of zero punctuation.
3. watched other episodes
4. interested in badges
5. made an account for the badges
6. the rest is history
Basically the same for me except I was on Tvtropes and clicked on a linked quote from zero punctuation

lets see, I kinda had a large amount of freetime on my hands and been kinda lonely. So I joined the escapist because 1, I had been here before for ZP and 2 because the forum topics looked lovely.

I was on omegle once, and then I said I was bored. The person who I was talking to said "have you seen this website?" and sent me a link to Zero Punctuation. I watched a few of them, and was soon hooked. About a week after that, I decided to join so I could keep up to date with Yahtzee and I started looking at other things. I am now hooked completely. :D

I sacrificed a virgin to Cathulhu. Next thing I knew, I ended up here. Recently I've been wondering whether that was a blessing or a curse.
For one, what's "Cathulu"? Did you name your cat that? JK.

And two, I came for ZP, stayed for ZP and Unskippable.

Arrived for ZP (someone sent me the link) stuck around and decided to participate on the forums mainly because Extra Credits gets me thinking more.
