I originally came here after finding Unforgotten Realms someplace. Than I took a liking to the other videos and stuck around for those. Now I don't care to much about those and hang around a chat group. *Wink*.
Why do you like the escapist?

I came here for the Zero Punctuation, but now I stay for pretty much all the video series. I also enjoy the community, and all the (for the most part) intelligent conversations you can have here.
I came for extra credits. Stay now for unskippable and zero punctuation. Strangely i don't look forward to extra credits as i used too. Still like it but not as much as i used to.
Can't for the life of me remember what my first visit was for, but I stuck around for one thing: Kick-ass community.

[sub]...oh, all right, having the LRR crew on board with Unskippable et al didn't hurt either...[/sub]

I came for ZeroPunctuation, but I went through a stage last year that I was a little tired of it and I probably wouldn't have stayed...
...but by that stage I was here for Escape to the Movies...
...and then came Extra Credits...
...and now Miracle of Sound is so damn good that I'd stay just to see his stuff.
Those four are the main reasons I like Escapist. The articles are often interesting, and I really like Shamus Young's stuff (though it's been a little irregular of late), and I've enjoyed Unskippable, Daily Drop and a few others as well.
But the core reason is ZP, EttM, EC and MoS.

I came for Zero Punctuation, and stayed because this website is actually filled with intelligent and rational people. Not to mention this place also helped keep me up to date with the California Video game law that was recently shot down.
I used to never even touch the community section till lately. I came for Zero Punctuation, Unforgotten Realms, etc. I do love LoadingReadyRun though, and the forums are always useful. =]
came for ZP, made an account to comment on a forum, stayed because i generally get intelligent responses
Zero Punctuation, then Extra Credits, then Moviebob stuff, and especially the forums. Although I do get the occasional PC gamer preaching to me about how the mouse and keyboard is jesus and me sticking with my gamepad is settling for less, but other than that this community rules.
I was watching ZP close to the beginning. Other than that, I like the message boards a lot, they're a lot busier than the ones I usually frequent and as much as some people here complain about the mods, it's about as free here as it gets without being one of those boards with one mod that bans people he has a spat with.
