[quote-"TheLivingDayLights"]Hi, I'm New[/quote]
Hi, I'm Not. But I like the use of Capitals and how you can spell, that will be needed if you don't want to look like an idiot.

I would like to learn some about the Escapist. Any tips that aren't "Official" that could help me out here?
Rick Roll only in a thread about rick rolls, which are few and far between(rare). I mention this because i see someone else brought it up and said "don't ever"

Don't insult ZP(Zero Punctuation) there are alot of people who love that here,well it is here, so they will coordinate and attack.

Watch what you say, or they will attack.

Have fun. Or they will sense your no-fun and attack.

No fan boys. Or I will attack, unless it's about Google then go ahead, I'm an enthusiast and proud of it(They ROCK!)

I think most videos(the regular ones like ZP, Unskippable, etc.) come out around 11:00am CST(Central Standard Time in America) If I'm wrong about that someone correct me.

There are alot of thiungs you will learn about, i haven't been a member long, just been around for awhile

'Dem apples seem like valid points. Also, what's up with the MM on people's avatars? Does it have something to do with the two banners on either side of the page that say "March Mayhem"?

EDIT: What is Zero Punctuation/ZP?

Oh, and rottenbutter, I'm gonna start a VS. thread. How do you like 'dem apples?
Fine with me, but a bunch of members are gonna rip you a few one and it will soon get locked. How do you like 'dem apples?
I love 'dem apples. What can I say, I'm a rebel.

That doesn't have nearly the effect I want unless you imagine me flexing big manly muscles.

Yeah, there's a thread where you can have your avatar redone for March Mayhem

Edit: ZP is a video done by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. He reviews games in what I would consider one of the most honest ways you can. He doesn't give you the point system, just tells you what he does, and more commonly doesn't like about a game. And does it with a great sense of humor and satire

Yes.
In these forums there is a group called "The Holiday Council" and they edit peoples avatars for holidays and events. They decided to edit avatars for the Escapists March Mayhem event. If you want one, go to the March Mayhem section and go to the Avatar Creation thread, then ask them to make you an avatar.

How do I stop it from sending me messages about people who quote me? It is unnecessary and annoying.
In your profile, go to "forum Signature and Option" and disable it.

ahoy there, and welcome to the Escapist!
erm, first thing is, is that amazingly people in the Escapist are far more mature than a lot of other gaming forums, so do keep that in mind... any stupidity/flaming/hate is easily identifiable and swiftly punished (i should know, i tried to make a thread dedicated to flame wars once, got a 3 day ban lol)
oh, and people tend to like being funny as well... so got a bit of a giggle gremlin inside of you? let it out and it'll be welcomed i believe :p
Yeah, I can remember that ban :D

Anyway, a good place to start would be just to start posting, and people on the Escapist are (usually) welcoming and mature (me excluded).

So, go out there and make a name for yourself, you anonymous man!

Oh hallelujah! Someone not tainted!
Haha, just kidding.

Seriously, Zero Punctuation is one of a few video series' here on the Escapist.
There is also:
Doomsday Arcade
Unforgotten Realms
Unskippable
The Escapist Show

And those are all the ones I watch. I enjoy them all, some enjoy more then others, and some think the Escapist is 'That ZP site'. We call them 'morons'. Find one you like and enjoy the back-log of shows! Since you're coming in now, you'll be able to enjoy a few days (Unless you've got loads of free time) of stuff to watch.

Be opinionated and willing to stick by your point (but don't be stubborn for the sake of it, if someone else genuinely does undermine your point then there's no shame to admiting they're right).

There's nothing wrong with being arguementative (no-one seems to have had any serious issues with me yet) but keep it constructive, reasonable and civil.

Mouth dropped then.

Seeing that you don't know what it is, go into the videos section and look for Zero Punctuation and then watch every single video :)

Irony is sweet, no?

Community =/= Staff

Usually. The mods and others are often cool people here. but every website needs money, you know? I guess this makes them some, in a way.

Meh...[ZP] is enteraining, I'm sure/hoping it has some hilarious material in some episodes, it just felt dry. Certain jokes seemed to require a knowledge of previous episodes. Is this the case or do I just have a different sense of humor?

Yeah if you every played any DD type game or even WoW you'll get a kick out of Unforgotten Realms. It's damn funny and a great way to waste a few minutes every other week when it comes out. Plus you've got 26(i think) episodes you can watch.

I've watched "There Will Be Brawl" it's pretty good as well. All the better if you've played SSBB.

Yeah, I know. It's just that March Mayhem is emotionally draining.
*sigh*

I've never played DD or WOW in my life and I still found it hilarious.
