How Did You Discover The Escapist?

[Azarhac]

Zero punctuation a few years back, lurked a bit and now I am 100% Escapist junkie =)

The Extra Credits guys. I saw an update saying he got a weekly show at some escapistmagazine.com place and wandered over. Now I is hooked.

A friend showed me the Zero Punctuation video for Farcry 2. I watched his videos for a while and eventually made an account. It filled the void left by the death of the Elder Scrolls forums.

A friend showed me ZP on Youtube. Yahtzee moved. I followed him to the Escapist but I didn't join for two years. Now I wish I had...

With the extra credits show. I did click on a link for this show on an another website.

A friend turned me on to Yahtzee, I got rather addicted to him and then I noticed the forums while I was waiting for a video to buffer.

Someone posted Zero Punctuation links on some other site.

 

[RYjet911]

Saw the first two ZPs on Youtube, joined the escapist shortly after Yahtzee got his third video out or something.

Didn't really start posting for a while after that though.

I followed Extra Creditz a little while, then it moved here, and I did too.

 

[TRR]

I watched the fullyramblomatic review of the Darkness demo on a this random/viral video site. Eventually that led me here.

My brother showed me the Guitar Hero 3 (or some guitar hero) Zero Punctuation video. =) And I've never looked back.

Followed Jon Etheridge on YouTube for a while, then he told us about Doraleus And Associates and i went to watch it.
Hooked.

 

[GodofDisaster]

A classmate showed me and a few others Zero Punctuation, which I then started to watch in my own time, as well as other videos.

After lurking around for a year, I finally came to the conclusion that this place was really good and the forums were quite interesting, I made the decision to join.

My friend watched Unforgotten Realms, he didn't like it but I did. Then BAM, it got me here.

 

[Venereus]

I remember reading someone mentioning Yahtzee on some forum, something along the lines of "he's the only game reviewer I trust", so it got my attention. I looked it up, and here I am.

 

[Julianking93]

Was on IMDB's board for Metal Gear Solid 4 where someone linked Yahtzee's review of it.

I continued to watch Yahtzee's reviews for a while until I actually figured out there was more to this site and decided to join.

 

[Griffstar]

Probably from ZP video a couple years ago were I decided to lurk until last week.

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.

lol yeah, its really weird hes famous now. Id say "i wonder how that guy is that made those awesome adventure games and cowboy comics. Im gonna make my own website, let me see how his is doing." and wouldnt you know, he does little game reviews too!


Yeah, I used to be a member of Underdogs, which had his games. Really good writing, memorable. Still think about the way your chased in 7 days, thats something that should be implemented more often. Ive designed a maze, and its always better to have a minotaur or something always chasing you. Makes it more about survival then just figuring out a puzzle.

What I still think is hilarious is that I watched a friend play 7 Days and there was a bug in it back then. So when he was chased by the dead guy the door opened all of a sudden, he prepared to shoot him, but no-one entered. He relaxed a bit, and all of a sudden he stood on his feet ready to kill him. Hilarious. Good to see such success for someone who's really worked to achieve it.
