Yeah. At first I had to really pay attention to understand him. I don't know if I just got use to it, or if he slowed down just a little bit, but now I don't really have to try all that hard anymore.Strain42 said:
How did you find out about the escapist?
- Thread starter pablogonzalez
- Start date
A friend recommended Yahtzee's videos to me. I'd heard of him on TV Tropes, but the whole "accentuate the negative" thing led me not to seek him out. Then the friend convinced me to watch a video and notice that he was, in fact, hilarious.
At some point after that, I noticed the forum topics next to the videos and signed up.

I remember googling "Valkirya Chronicles Review" and I found ZP's review. Being American and unfamiliar with Yahtzee's style I remember thinking "I can't understand a word he's saying." And then left, a couple of months later, I found his L4D review, this time I understood a little better because I became interested. Then I remember seeing a thumbnail for another game I've played, and I spent the rest of the day just watching his reviews.
For the longest time (I think about a year) I just came to the site to watch Yahtzee and never bothered to get an account, but then I looked to the right one day and saw a thread that intrigued me. So I created an account and posted on that thread. People liked what I had to say and I got quoted a lot. Ever since then I've been addicted to forums and I post stuff constantly hoping that someone will find my opinion meaningful. And yes I should probably get that checked.

Sorry friend. I tried the link you gave (and a site search), but I just got a 404 error saying the file can't be found. I like DnD though ( never got to play as of yet.) so I'll try to find it. I'm sure its good though. Most everything on the Escapist is. Thank you.
It was a fairly roundabout way for me. I saw some of Daniel Floyd's videos on screwattack, then went across to his YouTube account and subscribed there in the hopes of some more episodes being made. After many months and nothing happening he posted a video about a new show called "Extra Credits" starting up on this website called the escapist. So across I came. It was only after this that I found zero punctuation and realized it was a show my friend had been telling me to watch for years
Mines pretty similar to a lot of other peoples, I was told to watch Zero Punctuation and I've been here since
Unlike most people I didn't get here for Yahtzee. Yes, he's funny and has some points, but he's far from my first stop here at the Escapist.
I was linked here through Shamus' Young's website / Blog (been reading his DM of the Rings), and went "oh, that sounds interesting". I saw something called Extra Credits, and been hooked since.
Extra Credits is my first stop here, then Shamus, then the (unfortunately very infrequent) Check for Traps articles, and then everyone else. (Seems strange to lump Escape to the Movies, The Big Picture, Zero Punctuation, the Tales of the Table and the Jimquisition into the same group, but there you have it). - Too bad I can't get myself started on LoadingReadyRun and the Pro Gamer Gauntlet.
