How did you find the Escapist?

[Jark212]

Back in the day before Tech-TV, I would watch X-Play on G4 and they would show Zero Punctuation. So I followed that here, lurked for a few months, then signed up. I don't really post anymore but I still lurk.

Kotaku linkage.

Back in the days, before everything went white and all websites messed with perfectly good and functional layouts, Kotaku linked to the Escapist. Pretty much all Escapist content was worthwile, so I kept coming back. After I pretty much gave up on Gawker, I moved in and opened an account. That's that.

Now that GameTrailers have messed up their website and video player, seemingly for good, I spend more time on the Escapist, since its video player never really worked and it still serves decent, original content.

I don't remember...wait. Now I remember. I was searching for Zero Punctuation! I guess that's why they pay him so much!

I didn't find The Escapist... IT FOUND ME!!!!

*ahem* sorry about that! Yeah my friend told me about Yahtzee so I went and watched it, then I decided to make an account. Nothing else to it really.

I seen yahtzees fable review on YouTube, Subscribed, And a while later he uploaded a video announcing he was now producing videos for the escapist so I went over to watch them and found whats become one of my favourite sites. I still remember the first video I watched on here..I'm too lazy to check what it was called but it was him reviewing a game about some chick with massive swords and massive hair..

Heavenly Sword or X-Blades

I was linked to an Unskippable video from another forum that I visited at the time.

I have Extra Credits to thank for that. They're not on this site anymore though, I think we all remember why...

I saw the Yahtzee's DA2 review on ign, found it hilarious then followed the path to more.

without having read any of the answers: a lot of people will say ZP. me, for example, i was googeling after the original ass creed and found mention of the fact that Yahtzee gave it an unusually positive review.

One of my friends used to be a mod here and he has loads of escapist t-shirts so eventually I got curious enough to look up the site. I lurked for a few weeks and then joined
Captcha has asked me do a process of elimination test. It's only a matter of time before it takes control of the site.

Unforgotern Realms, anyone else? No? Just me then. They moved here before the majority of you joined and I think I made an acount just after they finished their term on the escapist.

 

[Agow95]

I watched Unforgotten Realms when they were on the escapist but that was it, I joined after I saw a link to the Saint's Row 2 review on the Unforgotten Realms website when Rob was posting Saints Row 2 video's with Roamin.

I'm in the non ZP minority. One of the facebook pages I was following started advertising Desert bus IV. I decided to check it out, and of course, I loved it. Tried searching around and found out about the Lrr crew, forgot about it, and a few months later remembered and made an account.

 

[F'Angus]

Reckon I'm the same as most people saying Yehtzee brought me here.

I found ZP's Psychonauts review on youtube, then I explored the site.

 

[Cheesepower5]

Someone showed me one of Yahtzee's videos. And then I explored the rest of the site.

Pretty much this.

Whenever I was home sick from school, I would watch G4 / X-Play, because it was better than the other crap on TV during a weekday. They used to do this thing where they showed a preview of Zero Punctuation episodes. I saw a bit of the Army of Two video and liked it, but forgot what the show was called. Luckily I saw another episode of X-Play where they previewed the Lego Indy episode, went to the Escapist, and here I am some four years later.

Quite a few years ago, I was flipping channels and happened to see G4 show a clip of a Zero Punctuation review. So I looked him up on youtube, and eventually got lead here. Then I lurked for like, a year before finally breaking down and joining.
