My brother-in-law directed me to the escapist. First off to watch unforgotten realms and ZP. I quickly tired of Unforgotten Realms, but then I moved onto things like, Doomsday Arcade, ENN and unskippable.

Pheromones.

OT: A friends recommended it (this is my first and only site that I have made a membership on and I think I was pretty luck to find one of, if not THE best gaming site on the interwebz!!!)

I'd visited it a few times, checked up on news, but what dragged me in was when fellow Newgrounder Schmoopy joined the Escapist. That made me visit at least once a week, followed by discovering other series and a few interesting threads that were enough to make me a member.

I'm on the Escapist plenty, and still barely use the forums :D

Hmmn, first saw Yahtzee on yt, looked up other episodes, came across the Escapist, watched Unskippable, saw interesting topics on the forum, made an account and began replying to various threads. Over 600 posts later, the Escapist owns my soul.

OT, saw a ZP video on Gametrailers, and I decided to check out this website to see more. Eventually I found the forums.

Noah Antwiler of the Spoon Experiment said that Yahtzee did like him and so I went to see who this Yahtzee guy was. Then I started to watch other series and lurked in the forums and quite lately I registered.
That's the whole story.

And then we locked the door behind you, leaving you hopelessly trapped, MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Honestly I'm going to have to say it was when a friend of my sister's showed me Zero Punctuation, that made me interested in the Escapist and eventually I went to the forums. Recently my sister's friend got married and I attended the wedding in thanks to her for introducing me to this place.

A friend sent me a link to a ZP episode. I came back a few times to watch it before finding the forums, which I joined during a patch in which absolutely nothing was happening. The forums are why I keep coming back (well, that and Unskippable and ZP)...

I was brought here by yahtzee's videos, but I joined the site after seeing a discussion on the grade of Halo's Sci-Fi (Realisitc/stylisation).
