Every day i come to the ESCAPIST to escape from my work, life problems, financial issues.
All i want is enjoyment, news from the "future" of media, science, oppinions on games that
i, sincerely said, don't really have time to play anymore.
It is good to know what is going on somewhere totally outside of my work horizon,
to be up to date on the console front, to laugh with Yahtzee's fantastic and honest reviews.
And
WHY ARE YOU HERE?

Reality is what I am escaping from. The crippling ache of loneliness and an empty wallet.

My MSc. Its hard work and in truth any time I here doing this I should be working on one assignment or another. Otherwise its just to get a good conversation. People don't understand the value of a good argument were both sides argue with value facts and opinions. Its one of the big things I hated about moving to uni. I used to have all sorts of pseudo serious conversations about all sorts of random stuff from politics to zombie survival plans. People just wont do it. Yet I find if I pester the forums long enough I can inevitably find someone who's time is worthless and will argue with me :)

Pretty much boredom since I got no live tv in my room and I don't have the cash to buy alot of games like I used to (but that being said, I own a Wii so there isn't alot of games to choose from).

Anxiety and loneliness mostly. Even if I didn't have those though, I'd probably sitll enjoy this place.

I'm not really escaping from anything. I am here because of friends, the articles, and my age-old goal in life that I... am not going to state right here. :p

And now I'm all curious.

The only thing I'm escaping is boredom!

University, being sole maintainer, developer, and translator of what is looking like it's going to be a gigantic programming project, my financial situation, boredom, and a million other things. It's nice to just disconnect and engage in something completely relaxing/fun.

I'm not escaping, I like my life. But none of my friends are gamers, so I wanted a place to discuss them. But the community here has gotten a bit too vitriolic. I can't say I enjoy it as much as I used to, so I can't imagine why this would be a place to escape to if that were my goal.

Nothing. I come here by choice because I love the people here, videos, forums and what not. I guess you could say I also come here to have the discussions I can't have with my friends.

What am I escaping from? My ex-fiancée and the fact that she slept with another man, the pain associated with all of that.

Normally, a maximum security stable towards the filly-delphia underground!

This, basically:

(Pony and pointless, maybe, but you try resisting doing an A-Team reference once you know the exact bit to remember!)
