So you joined the escapist community?~~

[ZeLunarian]

Secret shadey dealings aside ;P What to you hope to gain from it? Fame from getting your reviews out? Friendship? Love?? Insider info? What???

I come here cuz over the past two/three years I really have been largely neglecting this LOVE that I have and so, hope to know what games are out there, how they may play and help me get a more informed decision on my hard-earned cashish!

I joined so that I could be a bit more integrated with this source of info and media. And hopefully make the most of my time spent browsing here ~maybe even make a few friends sure whynot ~

And on a wee note... I'm really only asking those with a purpose, apart from PURE procrastination. I know it's fun to do on your own and better with others helping...

But sure what the hell, if you just like to keep the screen up for decoration suit yourself ^.^

I originally joined because I thought the place was a fun, yet smart community which is rare in most Forums. I was right and have had plenty of intellectual debates, back-and-forths on ideas, battles against trolls, and some damned good fun.

 

[JRCB]

Eh, there are good people here, the forum games are fun, the trolls are amusing, it's all good. And there are videos! And articles! It's like if the newspaper didn't suck!

 

[NeutralDrow]

I joined so I could post in the threads.

I'm staying for that reason, and the usergroups, and my reviews.

 

[reg42]

I joined because I was tired of lurking and never having my voice heard. I haven't regretted it so far.

[Canadamus Prime]

IDK, for some strange reason I felt like gobbing into an ocean (metaphorically speaking).

 

[Nebr66]

I can't remember why I joined, I think it's just something I do with websites I visit frequently.

Edit: lol 69th post

 

[MurderousToaster]

I joined because of the interesting discussion. I also joined because I like having a forum where there's (generally) a surplus of intelligence rather than a surplus of trolls.

This was also my reason. I do enjoy the higher level of intelligence, or at least civility, that occurs over the forums. It's quite rare indeed. I'm still pretty new to the forum section, but so far I've received a mostly positive experience.

I have yet to get into a serious back-and-forth, but I do enjoy that most of the people on here share my sense of humor.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

To come out a smarter and more informed gamer and all-around person. I'm already half-way there.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

I was told there would be beer and loose women...

In all seriousness I came because I wanted to... comment on stuff, seriously isn't that what everyone does? sure there are some good comments and some bad comments and some people get wicked high post counts by talking in group chat but it all boils down to wanting to comment on stuff, and I wanted a piece of it.

It's the same reason people twitter

So here I am.

Yes! I get SOOO much more use from this site than any news paper.

I joined so I could post in the threads.

I'm staying for that reason, and the usergroups, and my reviews.

I'll be sure to check them out, as should everyone else mebbe

That's pretty much a standard thing I'm guessing but great reason nonetheless!
I don't know if I would want to know anyone who WOULD regret coming here

All of these funny forum threads draw me in...

this, even in my short time here i love it.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

Because I really like games and things. I wanted to talk about games and things with people.

After a week on Neoseeker, I decided to change that to "bearable people". So I came here.

 

[Pimppeter2]

To be honest, I didn't even plan on posting my reviews here originally.

I just came to argue my head off with people.

 

[Daemascus]

I found out about the Escapist after finding Zero Punctuation and wanted to comment on some of the threads I saw on the side bar.

 

[Gigaguy64]

I joined for ZP and stayed for the community.
I think the Escapist has been one of the best things to happen to me in a while.
