Ok,so i found this site from watching unforgotten realms, couldn't pay them, so they replaced it with a weak sauce pokemon spoof that lasted a whole two episodes, couldn't afford them either. so i joined this site for the interesting funny columns, they've all been replaced by news stories I'm actually surprised when i care about, the science ones are actually pretty fantastic though.

Then i found zero punctuation, and that's what kept me hooked on the site, but he seems more wrapped up in whatever the hell side projects he's been up to lately to attempt to be funny for the past year. the only decent game related things left are unskippables, and, well was extra credits, but that's gone now too. so basically this site is loadingreadyrun with a podcast and some webcomics now.

So the point is, what keeps you all here now? because I'm not sure anymore, besides the awesome forum members i've been stalking for a year.

A couple of the features, but not many. Mostly user groups is what keeps me here, and a little forums on the side.

I loves the forums on this site. I haven't seen many others so active and and "intelligent." Plus the Escapist helps keep me up to date on a lot of gaming and modern news, so yeah.

Plus, as silly as the community can be, I love it. Also LRR and MoS.

Mostly Zero Punctuation, but I also like the forums. But if Yahtzee were to leave or get sacked, you can bet that I would be leaving with him.

For the most part, the news. But lately the forums. Although if zero punctuation leaves, im most likely going wherever it goes.

The forums, Zero Punctuation, and the hope that Extra Credits will be coming back.

I'm here for the people that I've run into during my time.
It's also a bit of a long-running habit that I have no real desire to break.

Zeropunctuation and Extra Credits. They're both great shows and everyone that does them are geniuses. Extra Credits is especially relevant in my case because I just started a game development course at DeVry and it's much easier to learn things like game theory from those guys than it is from my textbook.

I use this site mainly for news and reviews. Including Moviebob and Zero Punctation, though I don't often take their opinions too seriously.
