DING! The Escapist Turns 10!

[Frezzato]

Oh my oh my oh my. TEN years?!? Would you like your shawl, grandma?

Happy birthday, Escapist. May your years to come be filled with strange smells and commuting nightmares. You know, regular work stuff.


I hope somebody brought cookies or something to the office.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Arrived in 2007, right as ZP began!
*starts doing the opening theme song* Tu-du-du-du-duduh!!! <3

 

[Poetic Nova]

Congratulations!

Wanted to post something witty here but eh. Let's drink to atleast another 10 years!

Man...I remember joining back when I was a happy, bushy-tailed college student with his whole life ahead of him with hopes and dreams...

What happened??!?!

OT: Great to see my website home still kicking. There have been some high times and there have been some low times. May the highs last a little longer and the lows go away because no one likes the lows.

Quaaludes for everyone!

Has it been 10 years? Wow where does the time go. I joined in 2009 having been lured here by Unskippable. Lurked around a bit before deciding I wanted to contribute to some of the topics that cropped up on the forums. It's been an interesting ride.

Spoiler: Happy Birthday Escapist!

Nerf Wars, Apocalypse Lane, There Will Be Brawl, Unskippable... So many series and memories already...

Its been a strange few years but I've enjoyed most of it. Let's see you hit your twenties.

 

[Silence]

Congratulations! Or something.

Is a good site.

My best memory of this place is that I met the love of my life here.

Granted, things are going poorly right now because he wants to be a poop...

Also, I figured y'all would have made a badge for this. Unless you have and I'm dumber/blinder than I thought?

 

[Muspelheim]

Ain't wha' it was, but sure still got a pulse. Roll out the cakes!

 

[Sleepy Sol]

10 years is pretty long to be kicking these days. Congratulations, and here's to at least a few more. :3

 

[Rad Party God]

I think I have so much to owe to this site, like most, I started lurking around 2008, drawn by ZP's review of The Orange Box (nope, I don't feel old...), fell in love with the weekly topics (I miss those...) and I just stayed for everything else (I miss those great videos...).

Here's a toast for The Escapist that was, in the (vague) hopes it returns to full form in the future, hopefully soon. May this site turns another 10.

Cheers.

 

[Scarim Coral]

If only I had joined when Yatzee mention his video were moved onto here.

Either way, congrat and here hoping for another 10 years more!

 

[Mikeybb]

Happy birthday you wonderful spot of the internet.
Congratulations to you and all of your contributors, editors, moderators and denizens.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Wow, hard to believe it's been ten years already! Here's to another 10 more! (Blows party horn)

 

[know whan purr tick]

Happy birthday! Here's to ten more!

 

[Neverhoodian]

Happy 10th anniversary, Escapist! Here's hoping it's the first of many!

 

[The Madman]

If I'm honest I still miss the magazine format, you guys used to publish some genuinely fantastic articles.

I remember this was one of my favourites back then. Informative, interesting, well researched. I wouldn't mind if you published more works like that, most pieces nowdays tend to be 2 page opinion pieces or reviews at most.

Still congrats. I wouldn't still be around if you weren't doing something right!

 

[Dalek Caan]

Happy Birthday!

I've been lurking since 2008, joined start of 2010.

"He says 'Mel's Nails on 55'."

God, watching that first episode again after all this time. Blows my freaking mind.

My introduction to the escapist was back in high school, whenever the first season of Unforgotten Realms was being produced. My mates and I were in one of the computer rooms and they went to the escapist to show me and other unaware people some Zero Punctuation and the aforementioned Unforgotten Realms. A computer tech that worked at the school came in and I remember it cause he said we really weren't allowed to do that at school but since he liked the video series himself he let it slide.
