Mindblowing as this might seem, it was Zero Punctuation that got me here. But the compelling way the forum consistantly damages my faith in humanity is really why I joined in.
What brought you to the Escapist?

A friend showed me these forums, I saw some interesting topics and the members seemed as cynical as myself. That dragged me here. Oh, and obviously ZP.
When Zero Punctuation videos first started showing up on here.
It was a while before I made an account, mind, because I was oblivious to the fact that the forums on here even existed. Even after I finally noticed them, it was a little while longer still for me to actually decide it was worth having an account.

I saw soem people talking about Yahtzee, so I checked out his YouTube vids and his video about the Escapist. I can't remember signing up, but obviously I did.
I'm glad I did, I've met some of the best people ever on here.

I'm sitting here, stuck in a trench for six months and the pidgeon can just bail on us? No fucking way.
Zero punctuation, been watching it since the youtube videos, but I didn't create an account on the escapist until much later and I also watched extra credits a lot. I read the forums a lot, but don't post that much because by the time I have they are usually almost a dead thread.
What brought me to the Escapist, eh?
Let's see...
Zero Punctuation, Jimquisition and the forums.
Edit: I forgot Unskippable and Feed Dump

I was linked to a thread about the Sydney funnel web spider...and it was hilarious, after a few weeks of lurking I decided to create an account to post my opinion on things and then...well, I've been here pretty much everyday since!
Alas, after searching for a little while I found the very thread! I'm not sure if this is against the rules, but it's more than worth a read!

I used to be addicted to X-Play and they used to play little minute sneak peaks of the new ZP episodes. After a few weeks of watching it I finally gave in and visited the escapist after the oblivion review and I came to love ZP and loathe X-Play for various reasons. After awhile I discovered the forums and I joined out of curiosity but never posted until November of 2010 and many posts later and here I am.

OT: The same as many really. Saw ZP, eventually joined.
A friend, because I like ponies.
Otherwise it's very well possible I knew ZP before that, but never stood still that it might have been a fun site.

It was a few years ago that a friend showed me Zero Punctuation's review of Halo: Reach. After coming here every day I eventually made an account.
My friend linked me to a review by Yahtzee, and I kept watching his videos every Wednesday. When March Madness came up,i wanted to vote, so I made an account, and since TODAY I've started posting on forums. Yes,I'm new. Don't gang up on me!
