How Did You Discover The Escapist?

[Ravenseeker]

Zero Punctuation was being featured on X-Play so I came on and watched a couple of his videos. Started to check out the articles and other videos like MovieBob. Set up an account and started posting on forums and here we are now

A friend showed me ZP, so I did a marathon (About a year of ZP in a day or so) and started watching him every week. After a while I started clicking around on the site and found Unforgotten Realms and Unskippable. Now I watch almost every show on the site, reads a few columns a week and it's my primary source of gaming news. Also a huge fan of all things LRR, even the things not on this site.

Someone in whole different place in the internet posted a link to ZP. After watching tons of these videos i found out that there is more to escapist.

I was looking at the facebook page for Minecraft, since I was bored and couldn't play minecraft.
They posted the video for Yahtzee's Minecraft review at the top, it looked good, so I clicked it.
I thought, "Hey, this guy is awesome. Does he have any other videos?" and searched up Zero Punctuation.
Watched some other videos, and decided to check out the rest of the site.
Thank you Minecraft.

A friend introduced me to Unskippable and I loved it and decided to join. It wasn't until two weeks later did I decide to watch ZP and in october I finally decided to go pubclub.

My brother showed me Zero Punctuations review on halo 3.Then made an account a year later.

Came here from google while looking for a game review.. came across the review by Shamus Young (have no idea what the game was anymore) and hung around reading the rest.

Some guy made a repeat thread and it made international news.

A friend gave me a homemade Unforgotten Realms DVD, I decided to check the link in the watermark. I think that's fairly unique ^^

ZP, though I'm not sure how I stumbled upon it.

 

[CommanderKirov]

An old show called Unforgotten Realms.

Sadly after it arrived here it started slowly going downhill. But than i stayed for ZP just like 90% of the community I imagine.

I was searching for another site called "The Escapist" when I stumbled onto this one with a Bing search.

That one had a focus on tabletop RPGs and culture instead of video games.

 

[Eijarel]

In my case, i was linked with the "there will be brawl" series

Yahtzee, motherf*cker
how else?

ditto. Friend showed my some Yatzee videos when I searched for them on my own I ended my search here and I've been 'winning' ever since. Thats right I use Charlie Sheens dialect of labeling what I do as winning ^.^

How did you stumble onto The Escapist? For me I googled MoH Airborne review and I noticed a cartoon thumbnail so I clicked on it and I was witness to my first Zero Punctuation video. I probably watched the video 5 times laughing my ass of each time. Then I forgot about it til Nov of last year when I set up my account.

Exactly the same except I googled "Fallout 3". And I'm really glad I clicked that thumbnail.

Through Ctrl+Alt+Delete which lead me to the splitreason where I was curios about all those clothes, talking about the escapist.

Yep, that's the story of great valour and bravery.

I was a huge fan of Planet Half-Life and there was a time when the site was pretty busy covering news about everything Half-Life related, including mods and their releases.

Back then, the reviews of the Orange Box started to pop up everywhere, but one particular review caught their attention, a so called "Zero Puncuation" and they linked the video. That was the very first review I've ever seen of ZP and yes, ZP introduced me to The Escapist.

Then a few days/weeks later, a new story related to ZP appeared, about Valve inviting Yahtzee himself to their headquarters.

I used to play this Adventure game called 5 Days a Stranger......

Finally another one! I played 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes and 6 Days A Sacrifice. I also enjoyed his other stuff, such as Chris and Trilby and the Duke Nukem ad-on he made. I checked on to his site and found out that the youtube videos with Zero Punctuaction he made earned him a job, so I clicked the link and loved the reviews. I started checking The Escapist every week for his reviews then with time I learned that I enjoyed other things too (When Unskippable joined the crew). Then at last I started reading articles and joining the forum.
