General "The Escapist" question: Am I the only one who just comes here for Zero Punctuation?
- Thread starter Jack Johnson
- Start date
I didin't have a profile on the escapist in the beginning cos' I only watched ZP but in 2009 I made a profile but it took about 3-4 months to start using it and now I do threads read threads watch several shows on the escapist etc etc
1. The Escapist doesn't always put shout-outs in their content to promote things. Quite often, its more a friendly crossover. Yahzee was in the April Fool's episode of Game Dogs, for example.Jack Johnson said:
2. Its "Rebecca Mayes." And people who make content on the 'Scapist often actually have a presence in the Escapist community. Meaning that when you so bluntly criticize people, you may be saying it to them, rather than about them. And that's just plain rude.
3. Also: Read this, please. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.202281-The-magical-protection-terms-rant]
"Just awful in my oppinion" is poor posting form; such phrasing promotes hostility and general discord on the forums. Just take a little more time in writing your posts, and you'll find that the 'Scapist will reciprocate your effort.
I come here for the forums. ZP is just a bonus.
Also, this is the fifth "Am I the only one" thread I've seen in the past five minutes.

A friend recommended Zero Punctuation and I instantly fell in love (not gay).
A while after watching every episode that had been released, I joined the forums. I've been a part of much smaller forums before, but this is the best one I've found; full of intelligent people and a steady roll of interesting threads.
Later on, the same friend recommended Unskippable and Doomsday Arcade.

Not a slight on anyone else producing material for this site, but ZP is the only feature of remotely professional quality.
Okay, I guess that was a slight on everyone else.

I came here for ZP, got hooked on Unskippable and The escapist show, then after lurking for a year or two I joined the forums.
Could someone explain to me how the recent ZP advertised for Rebecca Mayes? Because if it was just the period jokes I have a distinct feeling that we're gonna start saying everything Yahtzee says that's sexist or homophobic is to piss her off. It honestly strikes me more like Yahtzee to ignore someone who doesn't like him.
EDIT: I come for a bit of everything. And I honestly believe that Rebecca Mayes uses a video game as an excuse to make a song about something she's already thinking about. Kinda like using a car to get to work. Yeah, the car's important, but you're more focused on getting to work. And she's actually quite talented, IMO.

Heard ZP and then came to the site.. But I did stay here a lot more due to Unforgotten realms and Doomsday Arcade which.. alas no longer show. Now looking at the line up on the main page, almost none of it even slightly near the level of awesome the previous stuff had. I'm not sure why but a lot of stuff comes out weekly when quite frankly.. it shouldn't as it's horrifically mediocre.
The talent is there in some cases. Rebecca is a talented musician, just the songs seem almost rushed. Doraleous has the setting, just the jokes are repetitive. I reckon given a fortnightly slot it would make the whole quality of some of the content here on escapist ALOT better, especially since many have to work it around their spare time.

What is the name of the show that has 2 kids playing D&D in the basement with one as a fire mage, the other as a ninja made that duel wields nunchucks and have a pet rat? Please someone tell me the name as I haven't been able to find it for thepast month. 
ZP is why I ended up here. I would recommend Doraleous and Associates, Apocalypse lane, and the video series I am looking for.

Your avatar is awesome. That is my favorite book series by my favorite author. Oliver De'Burrows inspired so many of my D&D charactors.Amalith said:
