Gametrailers forums put me off message boards for a long time.
I started missing have a gaming community to post to, saw the escapist, and aside from a few elitists, or grammar Nazis and such, it's a good community.
Joystiq (Or as it was then called PS3fanboy) linked Yahtzee's Call of Duty 4 Review. Thought it was the most funny thing ever. A few youtube videos later, I find out about The Escapist and join.
Word of mouth about the great being that is yahtzee. Came for the yahtzee, stayed for the unskippable. And yahtzee. And these forums seemed ok so i joined.
Yahtzee, I've been hanging around his stuff since the Halo 3 review oh so long ago, and only recently went, "Eh, I have some spare time. I'll join the Escapist forum."
Zero Punctuation for me after seeing a parody on Pure Pwnage. Stayed for the unique articles pertaining to laser weapons and Terminator-esque technology.
I first found that hilarious Fable ZP review on Youtube back when I was trying to find a gameplay vid to see if it's worth getting, then I went to see if he had more reviews on his own website or something and that's how I found the Escapist.
ZP for me too. My Uni mate showed it to me, I loved it and then explored the rest of the Escapist. Best and most interesting Forums, I lvoe all the cartoons and series (esp Doomsday Arcade....I would prob say ii came for zp, stayed for Unforgotten Realms and now you all keep me sane during my day at work!
