- Would not have some good friends, one especially who has since introduced me to a wider range of music.
- Would not have seen Zero Punctuation and gotten into some extra games through that.
- Would not have seen ANY of the video series on this site, thus depriving me of many laughs.
- Would have a shitload less to do every day on the Internet.

- would probably have taken up model railroading or something, losing interest in gaming for want of a good place to talk about it.

- 'tis about it, really.

I wouldn't have an entire community ready to give me constructive criticism on my reviews and thought articulation within 5 minutes of posting. Plus, I wouldn't have such great friends! We should start an Xbox Live escapist club just so we can game together as well as talk. No, seriously, i'd like to get that started. This is the best community that i'm a part of, and without it I'd have probably lost my faith in humanity a long time ago. You guys rule!

...Wouldnt have been able to rant all my opionions to the entire interent
...would be playing more games on my computer rather than freaking out that PC gaming is dead and spent hours upon hours reading articles and forums to renforce my gaming choice

... Wouldn't have an intelligent forum to go to without too many vulgar teenagers posting weird crazy BS.

I probably wouldn't have finished the Mass Effect games. But, alas, the discussion seemed so fun so I rushed through the first one, immediately bought the second one and rushed through as well.

Fantastic games. Thank you, certain members of the Escapist.

I'd not have a lot of the friends I have now, some of whom are really good friends.
I'd be down two bands: Voltaire and Within Temptation.

Erm... those are the main things, I guess.
Youre a good friend as well!!!


If not for the Escapist i would have a girlfriend....I'm not joking on this one! :p

...would not have purchased 'Mount & Blade: Warband' on a whim, through Steam's 75%-off sale.
...would have a different site to refresh through the week for gaming news and random forum posting (and likely two different sites, depending on the quality of the moderators).
...wouldn't have my wife mutter over my shoulder once a week, "Hrmf... that commenter guy, again" while I'm watching that week's ZP.

You're back, Pete? I thought you had enough of the site.
I came back, I've missed reviewing and my old friends, and realized that I was being kind of a jerk. So I need to make amends.

I would have not come across BonsaiK's relationship thread, to which I almost fully credit my current romantic successes.

Also, my writing, wit, and worldly knowledge wouldn't be as good as it is now without me posting all day in this forum.

Thank you, founders of The Escapist, for all that you've done for me. :D

Really, this site is one of the greatest things to happen to me, which makes a lot of things in the forums recently even more depressing.
Like what?

...would have never watched fantastic videos
...would not have ever read so many game/movie reviews
...would still be horridly uninformed about developments in the world of video games
...would be bored far more often than I am.
...would have never discovered a number of people who are amazing

Like people constantly telling me that my opinion is wrong, people constantly making the "Am I the only one of over six billion people who..." threads, and a generally increasing amount of people who I don't like.
I'm tired of those threads too :/

If it weren't for the Escapist, I wouldn't...

...have the joy of watching Zero Punctuation,
be very entertained on a site (namely Gaia) lacking active mods,
or have the opportunity to meet as many like-minded people.
