You know, it's exactly what I expected.
Actually, wait a minute.
More PC gamers than console gamers
What you never noticed? PC gamers rised up. Then again, 2008 had more console wars. Today, it's consoles vs PC wars.
No it is still more like there are two countries at war, PC and Console but there is a civil war in Console as well...

OT: Interesting results glad to see I wasn't the only Canadian joining in that, also the average age seems a tad higher than I thought it was.
2008's forum was very different from 2009/10 forums. Things changed a lot from back in the day.

I sound old...

EDIT: I also forgot to mention, there was also 1 Arcade gamer in the results.
Yay me!

The frequency question a think it had a too wide range, im suprised someone answered few times a year. It could have been better
1. Few times a month, or less.
2. Few times a week
3. Daily
4. Many times a day

No survival horror results :(

just kidding, great results! :D

And you're right the question was a bit flawed.

I'm not surprised about the frequency of visit chart.
What I am surprised at, however, is that more Brits visit this site then Americans, apparently.
I found out somewhere that there's more Irish people than French, German, Italian and Spanish put together on this site.
OH YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH.
To be fair though, not a lot of people from those places speak English.
Although we do seem to have a lot of users from Norway and surrounding area.
To the pondering cave!
*Ponders*

No worries, I won't feel left out or anything.

Nice results though, I hope this'll help you with the real deal.

Results to Escapist Forum Survey

OK so some of you may remember my fairly terribly spelt and set up survey I did earlier this week, at least I hope you did.
Any-ways I've changed some of the questions so that they make more sense and added some of the more silly mistakes (Namely the horrific amount of countries and consoles, missed out into the raw data so they are now a part of the visual results.)

So whilst I kept the survey active I received 99 responses, which I think is pretty good considering.
Therefore 99 Escapists are representing the whole (Scary right).

Here are the Charts:

Age

Country

Frequency of Visit

How you found the Escapist

A fair few participants entered into the "Other" option here to mention that more than one option applied to them, sorry guys another cock up on my part.
Some of the different replies were:
Linked to it while I ws surfing www.sonydefenceforce.com for teh lulz
Random post on offtopic of MMO I used to frequent.
Unforgotten Realms
Through Stolen Pixels
I'm a huge fan of LoadingReadyRun and came here when Unskippable started.
So obviously many people were fans of people who contributed to the escapist or found the link through other websites.

Reasons people use the Escapist


There was one comment in "other" and the only reason I'm posting it here is because I want an explanation to what it means?
For fapping material. mmm that hubilub
Consoles Owned


And yes people I did know that a PC is not a console, however I felt that I should include the option as there are several PC gamers on the escapist.

Are you a PC or a Console gamer
For all the " fanboys " and " elitist " out there (Apologies but I hate the terms.) Here's a good Indicator to your army sizes.

You could always destroy each other I suppose?

Preferred Games
Apologies to the people who answered into the "other" option here. Unlike in Countries and Consoles owned I did not add you to the results. It's a hell of a lot of work to do you know!


Some of the other game types included were:
Platformers
Adventures, Action/Adventures
3PS
Point and Click
MMO's

And my personal Favorite:
good games
Whoever said that, I tip my hat to you Sir...Or Madam as the case may be!

Cross Tabs

If you don't know what I mean I am going to now show you graphs of relation of country/games etc:


Not so easy to see here:



These are all of the Cross Tabs I have done, however if there are any you would like to see that I haven't shown just give me a message or a quote (Snipped please) and I'll add it up for you.

Ok the last question was not something to be easily quantified, however I will give some of the results. Of the 99 participants only 54 answered the last question of those 54:

29 replied that there was no problem with the Escapist

4 Replied that they feel the forums need better forum moderation and 1 would like less "stupidity" on the forums.

4 would like better reviews/more "streamlined" news.

And 6 would like more pornographic content...guys seriously that's what googles for, type in tits and you're away.

Some quotes that don't quite match these areas:

A theme park.
:)
Actual Flash games
People need to post the results of their surveys.
I see far too many blow through and then leave without publishing the results.
Also,I'd be interested to see a rep system.
? whoever posted this I hope you're happy with the results I've given?

A free bagel machine for all members?
Fresh discussion.
More reviews and gaming related stuff such as previews, it's beginning to seem more like a comedy site
Well...I miss unforgotten realms.
member to member chat
And just in case you're interested here's the link to my source data, enjoy. http://www.surveymonkey.com/sr.aspx?sm=AeGRVhkJ7NH6rEOj07C4UjSvHTtNPuSjRUOjv0yzq6Y_3d

I hope you like what I've shown and thanks a lot for those who participated I've gotten the knack of the quirks of surveymonkey now which is what I set out to do!
Discuss!!!

EDIT: I also forgot to mention, there was also 1 Arcade gamer in the results.
EDIT2: In reply to a response further down the page I made this graph:
{Title should read "Country against age"}
A fap is a wank I assume the person is kidding or has actually found a pic of him and genuinely does it. Although the age pie chart was quite staggering.

so statically I am:
17-21 from the UK who comes here daily and found it through yahtzee but spend most of my time on the forums. I have a PC and xbox360 for gaming and I like playing RPG's, FPS's and some RTS with a small amount of simulators.

In reality I am:
18 from the UK who comes here daily and found it through yahtzee but spend most of my time on the forums. I have a PC and xbox360 for gaming and I like playing RPG's, FPS's and some RTS with a small amount of simulators.

YAY I am a statistic
