Was watching G4 and they used to (don't know if they still do) air part of Zero Punctuation so I came here to watch the whole thing. I stay to torment Nintendo fanboys with my constant Wii and 3DS bashing

Here's an answer I doubt anyone else could give: I was trying to impress a hot guy.

Story was I was sat in my Uni library last year and this insanely cute dude was next to me, watching what to me, at the time, looked like some stupid slideshow with the worst background ever. But, me being the clueless moron I am, I thought if I was interested in the same thing as him, and watched it, he'd suddenly magically notice me. So I managed to identify the web address, which led me to Yahtzee...and thus was born a relationship that will last a lifetime. Or until he stops. Or until I lose interest.

Zero Punctuation's review of Turok linked from VG cats. He introduced saying "everyone and their mom has heard of yahtzee by now" I hadn't and nether did anyone I know but there it is.

Been a fan of Jon Etheridge on YouTube for years, saw he uploaded Doraleus and Associates one day.
Thinking i should get hooked on a cheap web series like RedVSBlue (but not RedVSBlue) i clicked it, watched a few episodes and was hooked.
Ended up cycling through the episodes three times, had it on in the background while working. Was and still is very hooked.
Then i went on to watch Apocalypse Lane and Zero Punctuation.

I ended up registering just so i could compliment on their work, then saw some interesting threads in Hot Threads.
From then i gradually got more active, now The Escapist is a lovely addiction.

Thanks Jon, your brilliant!

To (sort of) quote my friend:

My friend said:
Hey, you know Robert Moran's making a new series? It's on the same site as that 'Zero Punctuation' guy makes his videos.
That was back in 2008-9ish.

Title says it all really :)

For me it was Zero Punctuation after seeing Yahtzee's vids on YouTube, quite cliché really.
Cliche`s are called such for a reason. The first time I came here was also because of Youtube, I saw the videos for the darkness and fable 1, and then there was another he had saying "go to escapist and see more" that's how I got here and I've stayed ever since.

Loading Ready Run moved over here so I had to start watching their amazing videos on this site. I actually click on a link to the Loading Ready Run website in order to click a video to come here.

I watch ZP, Unskippable, ENN, Extra Credits, and the new shows. But if Loading Ready Run decided to leave, I would most likely leave too. Maybe check back here for Extra Credits.
