    Archiving The Escapist

    Archiving The Escapist

    I've been following ZP, then stopped by for news for quite a while before I even registered here. Besides, I'm generally the type who favours archival and preservation, especially in gaming.

    Archiving The Escapist

    As you know, The Escapist can go down at any moment without notice, having no official staff apart from Yahtzee and some streamers. It'd be a shame if so many years of content just disappeared, and services like Archive.org, while powerful, usually don't cover everything pedantically. So...

    8 Zero Punctuation Videos You Should Have Already Watched By Now

    These top 8 lists were stretched to begin with, and now it's come to this? Just admit it, Ron, the site's dead, and you might as well formally hand in the YouTube and Twitch channels to Yahtzee and rename them to something relating to him and/or Zero Punctuation. All you've become is a...

    What does ""shipped" really mean?

    Could be preorders and standard mail orders?

    8 Funny Ways Game Developers Trolled Pirates

    Nobody remembers the game that kinda started this trend? The Settlers III would have iron smelters produce pigs in improperly pirated versions, rendering weapon production impossible. Allegedly, forester's newly planted trees wouldn't grow either. It can happen in legit copies too at times...
