Escapist Craze!

[NuclearPenguin]

Well, im just wondering, whats the biggest game craze you've witnessed on the escapist? (Mainly for the older escapist)

Thats it for me.

 

[grimsprice]

i Got sick of all the "whats your zombie plan" threads, when L4D2 came out. That pissed me off.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

There's this one game called 'Is it just me?' that seems to be getting an awful lot of attention these days.

And MW2, without a doubt.

 

[Sir Kemper]

Still going to say ME2

The 'Ask a _____' thing.

I have a picture of it somewhere, hold on.

Edit: As promised.

Wow, were those really all right next to each other, OP?

And, honestly, yeah; I've been here for a pretty long time now, but I've never seen you people get so hyped for a game other than Mass Effect 2. Sure, there have been some anticipated games, but this one seems to be getting the most.

EDIT: Oh, I thought that this was just about new games. If it's about any thread type on the Escapist, I agree with Grimsprice about the zombie plan threads.

fallout 3, it seemed that there was atleast 2 threads about it ½ year before and 1 year after launch.

oh and the "is it just me", i got on probation for yelling at one of the guys who made one so i will only say that i dont like them.

really all threads that are just about getting the badges are common.

There was the "Zombie" boom (I know there are plenty already, but it dominated the latest post section for 2 hrs)
The "ME2" boom
The "MW2 hatred" boom
The "Boycott" based Boom
The "Armies of searchbar mentions" (half of the first page)
The "Max is dead" Boom
The "NoMoreSanity is dead" Boom
There was almost a "New members are everywhere" boom
And now we have a "Threads made by Pangy" boom.

I find it funny how no matter what happens, there will always be a "Your biggest ... moment in a game" thread made every day, and every single time the same people post different stories about the current hit game.

I can't be the only one who noticed this, right?

The 'Ask a _____' thing.

SNIP, AWAY WITH YOU FOUL IMAGE!

That is just crazy. I'd almost want to start a "Ask a "Ask a" thread starter" thread. Almost.

Zombie plan threads. When we all really know that we are all going to get eaten. You know, its an apocalypse, that's how it goes.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

The 'Ask a _____' thing.

That was by far the most annoying i can remember.
And whats happening now with ME2 happened with MW2 as well, only i don't mind as much with the ME2 ones because i love that game so much

*Ahem*

Ask away.

I'd laugh almost uncontrollably if you did that.

The most I've ever seen on here was the period when every thread was people pumping all their hatred into MW2.
The ME2 "Who did you shag?" and "How did it end?" Threads are catching up.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

There were quite a few MW2 and Zombie threads in Novemeber and it was quite strange. There was also that big "Boycott." craze on the escapist after Valve announced Left 4 Dead 2.
