Poll: The show the escapist couldn't survive without

[darthzew]

Zero Punctuation. I mean, there's really no other choice. The other shows are fantastic, but it was Yahtzee who put this site on the map. I mean, this place was pretty small before he showed up and now it's a pretty bustling forum. So, to be blunt, this place wouldn't really be alive at all without Zero Punctuation.

Even if it's not your first choice in terms of quality, that's just cold hard fact.

This wouldn't be The escapist without Zero Punctuation

Actually, the Escapist could live without any shows because it's still a great source of information. However, the video series that would do the most damage if it was taken off would be Zero Punctuation by far. Almost everybody that is on the Escapist originally came here because of the ZP videos (myself included).

Daily Drop. It really captures the spirit of The Escapist, and since there's a new episode every weekday it's a series that generates more consistent traffic with a greater level of content than any other show.

 

[Rune342]

I'd like to think that the escapist doesn't depend on just one show. What makes the escapist is the diverse selection of shows, and even more diverse selection of users here.

Honestly, ZP is like this site's jugular - cut it and it'll die a slow death, as fresh traffic dwindles and the users start tailing off one by one. Unless the site found another big hit, they'd lose a ton of revenue, which would seriously harm the site.

Everything else would be a blow to lose, but if its just one at a time? Merely a flesh wound.
(that's not saying everything else is bad. I especially love the Top 5's, Unskippable and Critical Miss, but they hardly generate ZP level traffic)

Well, clearly, Zero Punctuation is the most popular show here, but Extra Credits is the best.

 

[XMark]

Like a lot of us, I originally came here because of Zero Punctuation. But I've really gotten into a few of the other shows since then. MovieBob's shows are entertaining (and his movie tastes seem to match mine pretty damn closely), Extra Credits has amazing insight into gaming, The Loading Ready Run gang are consistenly funny, and I REAAAAALLY miss Doraleous and Associates.

But yeah, in terms of its importance to the site, Zero Punctuation is definitely the big one.

Zero Punctuation. Not my favorite, but it's the biggest draw.

 

[Hollock]

Without a doubt zp

 

[darthcendiarygrenade]

Honestly, there's way too much awesomeness on this site for it to be killed by losing one or two features. There'd have to be a mass exodus or something.

I can imagine Yahtzee is watching this thread and going "Excellent".

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

my favourite show is extra credits.

but tbh zero punctuation must be the most vital show on the escapist.

 

[Drakmorg]

Zero Punctuation, seeing as how Yahtzee is responsible for 99% of the people even finding out about this site.

 

[beefpelican]

Never even heard of this site til Yahtzee gave his "farewell to youtube" video. So yeah.

Same here. The LRR folks do provide them with a buttload of high quality content though, and if they left it would all go.

 

[SovietSecrets]

ZP. Check any topic where people ask what brought you here and you will find ZP covers more than half of why.

 

[0p3rati0n]

Well somehow we're surviving without Doomsday arcade. But yeah if ZP leave this places is probably going to go under pretty quickly.

 

[Seigneur]

Zero Punctuation. It's what brought me here, it's what keeps me here.

Without Zero Puntuation this site would be just another obscure tech site
