Poll: How did you find out about the escapist website?

[Frybird]

Penny Arcade occasionally linked to escapist articles back when it had that "illustrated" format, but i never got around to bookmark the url. But then i eventually did it when i was linked to it again and finally took a look around the pages and bookmarked it.

I'm a bit surprised that the majority of people found the site through ZP, given how long it is around...

 

[Saskwach]

I'm sure there's plenty of those 'cool kids' that joined before the first ZP hit youtube, oh how I envy your coolness!

Oh gosh, how I envy them too. *blushes*

Wow, I've never been a cool kid before. What, do we wear shirts or something?

 

[WlknCntrdiction]

Ya know, I don't actually remember how I found this place. Seems like I've been here and known you guys forever, like I was here in a previous life, not
But honestly I can't remember how I found out about ZP

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

actually, a bit of a story.

A few years ago, back when I was a moderator and news writer for a certain company-specific video game music website, someone posted a link to an article on this site (can't remember which). I found the idea of an E-zine that focused more on gamer culture than on games themselves to be quite nifty, and subscribed.

Fast forward to about eight months ago, a fiasco on the 'fore mentioned site led to half the staff, including myself, leaving. So April comes and I was looking for a new gaming forum to hang around on, and remembered this site. "And that, as they say, is that."

I do miss working on that site though. Maybe I'll start writing some reviews of game soundtracks in the forum review section...

Same with Lazzi, I happened to catch a preview of Yahtzee's review of Sim City: Societies on X-Play. I didn't start watching them at first because at that point, I thought Yahtzee was just some whiny British blogger who nit-picked his way through every "review." And then I watched some more of his videos, and I realized that the guy has more merit than I originally thought, and he's funny.

 

[Kovash86]

I discovered ZP through X-play. I saw it one week, then a few weeks later I saw it again and said "I must fine this it is awesome."

 

[fix-the-spade]

Saw Zero Punctuation: The Darkness Demo on you tube.

 

[Scottish33]

My friend showed me Yahtzees reveiw of Halo 3 and I was hooked

 

[orreso]

ZP around when yatzhee did one of his more early episodes (don't really remember which) However I just recently started going to the forums

 

[Kross]

Well, this company I worked for decided they wanted to try their hand at something new and put together a website spotlighting "New Games Journalism" style editorials...

 

[DeadpanLunatic]

I have removed my words from this site.

 

[Arachon]

A mate showed me Zero Punctuation. After watching all the reviews I noticed something interesting in the "Current Topics" thingy, and started lurking the boards, took me an awful long time to actually register D:

 

[Zemalac]

I actually saw the site over the shoulders of my friends as they were checking to see what the new ZP was while they should have been doing something else. I went to the site and thought some of the stuff in the "Current Topics" tab looked a lot more interesting than whatever ZP was. I read a lot of the stuff on the forums and most of the FullyRamblomatic.com site before I bothered watching any Zero Punctuation.

Took me a while to register, though.

 

[Sylocat]

Someone on the Sillysoft forums posted a link to Yahtzee's BioShock review (yes, back before half the internet found out about him. I guess that makes me an oldie).

I laughed at ZP, sure enough, but it wasn't until I read a few of the other articles that I thought about signing up.

 

[[Gavo]]

um.... G4's X-Play or...i have no idea...surfing the web?

 

[klc0100]

I found zp on youtube showed it to conqueror Kenny he found the forum an i kinda followed him here

 

[zen5887]

Found ZP on youtube and eventualy led me here.. Now im kinda over it.

Purps got me to join the forums tho.. Defently not over them =P

 

[Anarchemitis]

I was walking out of the school computer lab after a class and saw someone showing his friends the ZP 'Heavenly Sword & Other Stuff' and a couple of days later I Googled it to find out about that dealie. And the rest as they say is history.

 

[Nazulu]

Some people in my class were laughing madly during work time and was curious to see what was going on. On the Escapist, Heavenly Sword.

 

[Fire Daemon]

I was linked to Yahtzee's console video during a flame war on the Call of Duty 4 website. I showed one of my friends the video and a few days later he informed me that there are more Yahtzee videos and so I came back for my zero punctuation fix. The I started to do other things and eventually joined the forum.

Never looked back.
