If not for the Escapist I...

[akwehhkanoo]

if it weren't for The Escapist and LRR, I wouldn't have spent all of my money on getting back into Magic: The Gathering.

 

[Dango]

I wouldn't be the caring, loving, tolerant, and accepting person I am today.

I would be a much worse person if it weren't for the Escapist, that's why I'll always love this place and the people that come here.

 

[My name is Fiction]

Were it not for this website I would have suicided.

BEAT THAT.

OH YA

Well I would have gone on a nation wide killing spree with pliers and a lock in a tube sock

BEAT THAT!

 

[Mr. Omega]

Be able to see that there ARE sane forums on the internet.

A lot of my inspiration for some minor stuff has actually come from these very forums. And the videos are something I enjoy every day each week. It's become part of my routine.

 

[The Geek Lord]

I wouldn't have met the love of my life.

Fuck you people and your ability to have a social life constantly get songs by Queen and The Beatles stuck in my head... Or just fuck me for not being able to read something for ten minutes straight without thinking about something completely unrelated.

Anyways...
If not for the Escapist I...
-Would have less to do
-Might be grinding in some JRPG right now
-Might have confidence that somebody in the world pays attention to something I say every so often.
-Would be emo-ish
-Wouldn't have ever had anything remotely similar to an intelligent conversation
And...

Were it not for this website I would have suicided.

BEAT THAT.

-My sarcasm detector wouldn't constantly spas in between both sides of the spectrum and explode.

 

[Fridge]

would be less entertained on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Also I wouldn't have discovered a few films that I've seen reviewed.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I joined the escapist pretty recently. For the past 4 months I've been giving exams and applying to colleges; and I've had nada time to consume any form of time-consuming media. The last film i saw was Inception and the last game i played was Black Ops (SP, which i had to finish overnight).
So for the last couple of months, the only real source of entertainment for me have been the forums here, and the videos that go up (bless you Graham, Paul, Bob and Yahtzee). And without this entertainment.....well, i would've gone CRAZY, frankly.

so Thank you, Escapist. And Thank you all the awesome people here who make this online community, (UNDOUBTEDLY) the best I've ever been a part of. Thank you for keeping me sane. It means a lot.

Now back to writing meaningless, faffy college essays

 

[LeonLethality]

If not for the escapist I would not have hated Valve and Bioware so much, the overzealous fans made me hate them a lot more than I did.

 

[TimeLord]

...would be far worse off, (emotionally, mostly), than I am now.
-snip-
...would be bored far more often than I am.

Same with me for these two, I also raise you;

...would never have discovered I was a furry.
...would not have seriously questioned my sexual orientation.
...would have at some point in the past exploded from not being able to express my love of Doctor Who enough.

 

[adakias]

...would possibly be asleep right now. Maybe.
...would never leave tvtropes.
...would probably have less people to annoy. :\
I'm doing it right now.
Whatever. Maybe it's the ambien speaking, but I love you guys anyways. <3

 

[kouriichi]

I would still have hope for the human race, enjoy the little things, and think that flowers are beautiful.

Buuuuut, none of that stuff was to great to begin with. So i guess im glad i signed up.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Oh, so much. The Escapist had majorly affected my life for the better, I'd probably be in depression by now if not for you guys ^^

Same here, I had almost lost all faith in the world (The best description of my town that i've heard is "full of small-minded rascists.")and then I found these forums.

I wouldn't have gotten into anime (however I think I had seen death note and the first series of Ranma 1/2 before i got an account here.)

I probably wouldn't be such a Grammer Nazi (however i have been regressing back to txt speak since i caved in to Facebook.)

And i'd probably be generally a lot more stupider If I didn't come here.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Were it not for this website I would have suicided.

OH YA

Well I would have gone on a nation wide killing spree with pliers and a lock in a tube sock

BEAT THAT!

OH YA!?

Well I would have gone around sawing babies heads off with a rusty spoon....And possibly detonated nuclear bombs all over antarctica if anyone tried to stop me.

BEAT THAT!

 

[Scarecrow]

....Would have turned into a horrific troll creature, who would have spent his days pissing of fundamentalist crazy's on Rapture Ready.

And I would have donated money to an orphanage and... wait... and renovated it to a whore house!

[NeutralMunchHotel]

Weren't you banned or suspended or you quit or something?

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Wouldn't have any decently interesting articles to read every tuesday.

Asked for a ban, realized I was being a douchbag, came back.
