Poll: Favourite feature on the Escapist except ZP?

Stolen Pixels, because it is my thoughts on games, made funny.
Escape to the Movies, because I have a lot in common with Bob. He speaks my language.
I also consider the forum to be a feature as it is free entertainment and an incredible time sink.

Extra Credits would be too easy to say. I mean, it's brilliant (if it gets a little bogged down with buzzwords now and again...). It would definitely be the first choice after Zero Punctuation. Hell, it'd probably take the first place trophy AWAY from ZP. However, the best part about the Escapist (besides all the other Best Parts) is that unless everyone clearly and unabashedly hated the show in question, all the shows run concurrent. Every day of the week I get something wonderful.
I would love to hang out with MovieBob sometime, everything he's involved with is golden. Informative AND knee-slappingly funny? Get outta here. I can't choose between The Big Picture or Escape to the Movies, but then I've been watching MovieBob for quite a while. Bob is one of the best things to happen to The Escapist and we are all so damn lucky to hear him speak, let alone for free.
What about Miracle of Sound? That guy was fantastic before he was on the Escapist, but now it's like he's gotten steroid injections into his creativity centre. He makes a consistently good, well-lyricised piece week after week, despite trying a different style of music every time. It seriously blows my mind. How does he do it?!
Everybody here reads the Escapist Magazine still, right? The articles run the full gamut from thought-provoking, to tear-inducing, to laugh-until-the-neighbours-call-the-cops funny. It's always worth a read.
Everything else is just OK. There's Loading Ready Run, which is an alright sketch comedy show (for the internet, anyway). Jimquisition is a fun little diversion. Unskippable is only entertaining the first time you see it. I was getting kind of pissed off at Doraleous and Associates by the end... but I think maybe I miss it now?

I enjoy Extra Creditz and Movie Bob's stuff more than zp these days, although zp is what brought me to the site originally. I chose Extra Creditz because I relate to videogames more than movies/comics, but also of the 3 shows I enjoy it the most. However, if Movie Bob's stuff was combined vs. EC, Movie Bob would win
I love both Extra Credits and Escape to the Movies...Movie Bob's tastes are actually quite similar to mine and I find his opinion usually matches my own. Except with Transformers
ark of the Moon. He seemed to hate it but thought it was genuinely a decent movie, if not confusing on the eyes at times!

The only other thing I like on this site is Miracle of Sound. They make some of the few songs I actually care for. Except for the Duke Nukem one, I can't stand metal.
Extra credits is good, but I don't check up on the website on habit to look for it.

Really hard choice between Extra Credits, The Big Picture and Escape to the Movies. I went with The Big Picture though, because the latest episodes have been great, and because it covers a somewhat wider range of topics than the other two. Besides, Bob is what brought me here in the first place.
