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!
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!
OH YA

Well I would have been lifting bricks, where? on top of another pile of bricks SON!
And I would have donated money to an orphanage and... wait... and renovated it to a whore house!
OH YA!?

I would have kidnapped the childeren from your orphanage in bin bags and then thrown them off a bridge...

And THEN I would sell them into prostitution!

BEAT THAT!
OH YA!

*This guy is good!*

OH YA!

Well I would be the guy paying for said prostitution, and I wouldn't use protection!

BEAT THAT!
OH YA!?

Well I would film you doing this with a hidden camera and send The footage to The orphan's family (or at least what family it has)...




...On what should have been the child's birthday...Or at christmas, whatever's closest.

Now good sir...Beat that.
OH YA!

Well...

*Hits you with a crowbar and drags you to the trunk of your own car that I am about to hot wire*

BEAT THAT!
OH YA!?

You can't do that.I'm 14, I DON'T HAVE MY OWN CAR!!!


BEAT THAT!
*Gasp*

"Well you are the devils incarnate and I coagulate you for your hard earned victory, now I must fall asleep and poison your towns water supply."
Cheerio!
I'm sorry, you coagulate him for his hard earned victory? you coagulate him? You change him from a liquid into a thick and/or solid state? Okay I was just checking if you understood what you just said cause it was a bit weird.

Back on Topic: I would never have watched Zero Punctuation which caused me to start hating most games I see, It won't stop GAH!
I would never have pondered getting Oblivion.
I would have never seen as many new videos
I would never have been such a frequent forum poster.
Exactly, thats how good I am.
Heres a badge to you General grade 2 Gramer nazi!
Yay, thank you. I like being a General grade 2 Grammar Nazi. It is much appreciated,

PS It is spelled "Grammar" UGH! Now look what you have made me do! Is this some kind of dirty trick!?!

Would have had better grades
wouldn't have met amazing people
wouldn't have started reviewing everything I set my eyes on
wouldn't have gotten back into anime
wouldn't have discovered great shows
wouldn't have been as well informed in regards to gaming as I am now.

All-in-all: I Love the Escapist. I definitely don't regret coming here! :)

I would have become a full time Channer.
Stayed a shut in emotional wreck (Now I'm just an emotional wreck)
Would not have really seen how many open minded, good people there are out there.

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

Also, I would be very bored and depressed all the time...

Wouldn't have somewhere to post my thoughts.
Wouldn't have been to (and stayed at, for far too long) TVTropes.
Wouldn't have got into anime, most likely.

I would have gotten better grades and got into a better university... Although, my online spelling, grammar and punctuation would be much worse without it.

I wouldn't have met loads of cool friends, and have had a bitchn' Halloween party.

I would also have played a lot more games. Weird isn't it.

I would still take IGN seriously. And not know about Zero Punctuation or Extra Credits.

If I had not come to the Escapist, I...

...wouldn't have started writing as much as I do now.
...wouldn't have discovered some of my favourite bands right now (Clutch and Skindred, for example).
...wouldn't have discovered its IRC, where I can always go for a chat.
...wouldn't have gotten a trove of Steam games (through IRC, thanks guys ;)).
...wouldn't have discovered TV Tropes.
...wouldn't have started watching anime (granted so far I've only watched three series from beginning to end, but from here on out it's growing).
...wouldn't have watched a multitude of really good movies.
...wouldn't have a lot of interesting people who I cherish being there where they are (even if they don't get that vibe from me).
...wouldn't have as big a vocabulary (as big, not saying it's amazingly huge, but it would've been smaller without the Escapist).

Well, okay, there is a shit ton of other stuff, and besides, I firmly believe in the "the smallest change can change the world" thing, so yeah, I believe that even had I come onto the Escapist later, and for a shorter time, it still would've changed (or will change) something(s) in my life in a significant manner.

I never would have gone to Cracked.com or TvTropes.
I never would have watched ZP.
I wouldn't know about Penny Arcade's Child Play charity, or the humble indie bundle.
I wouldn't have a place to share things with other intellectual people.
