All of the intelligent and enlightened dialog between members...

Actually it was probably because of Zero Punctuation. I honestly don't remember.

ZP brought me here, but I actually joined to do a quiz in MayMarch last year. 5 months later I actually started posting. My first thread that I posted in was... rather embarrassing.

I came here after seeing ZP on G4tv.

I didn't bother to become a member until after I started reading the articles which actually were interesting. It's become my source for gaming news and info.

Came for ZP, joined for some arbitrary reason I forget due to insanity and stayed because the Star Wars: The Old Republic Off Topic Forum which I used to post on, completely went down the crapper recently. And to be honest, good riddance. These forums are about 100% better anyway. Plus, the mods are a bit mad with power, giving out infraction points for something as simple as posting the Happy in Paraguay video because [sub]wait for it[/sub] it contained swears. Plus, a suspension for posting a video of Duke Devlin from Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged. But then, that was probably since one of the moderators looked directly at his face and had to spend a week in hospital. I much prefer this site's moderation.

Sorry if this post has seemed like a bit of an incoherent ramble, my brain has shut down tonight.

I started watching Zero Punctuation and joined later on.
But it was not before around november-ish times I stopped lurking and found out how awesome people here actually are, then I started posting, and I do not intend to stop.

I joined because the people here aren't full of fanboys(gamespot/ign) trolls and idiots(youtube) and it has a good community.

Sure we get some of those people here, but most of the time the community verbally destroy them, and they're never seen from again. Mostly.

I came to bake you all cookies. I stayed because you chained me to the fence and forced me to bake cookies for all eternity.

DAMN YOU ALL!
The hell let you out?

Get back in there and start baking!

I watched every zero punctuation faithfully every week, happy and content and felt no need to voice my opinion because for the most part I agreed. Then came that faithful day when Yahtzee bashed demon's souls. It was understandable considering he was on a time schedule, but that didn't justify the rape of the game, so I made an account just to protest that. And low and behold, I find interesting topic and post in them.

I guess... I'm another ZP casualty. I stayed because, in spite of some outburts of elitism from certain members, there are actually some intelligent discussions/funny arguements to be witnessed.

ZP was the start. Still watch him often. Some of the other random videos are pretty good too.
