The Escapist ( in one sentence )

[Wamble]

dedicated fans arguing over what and why something is fun.

 

[Joel Routson]

Doesn't pay what is owed to Extra Credits.

 

[SnakeoilSage]

Gaming magazines, you are now, officially, obsolete.

 

[ShadowHand25]

Zero Punctuation... and other stuff I guess.

"A place full of happy sunny people who always look on the biright side of things."

 

[Rathands]

Big-headed nerds arguing over Zero Punctuation and starting hundreds of threads along the lines of 'WOMEN - WHAT ARE THEY AND WHY WON'T THEY TALK TO ME?'

 

[Jedamethis]

Full of people who are pretty much like any other, but like games.

 

[William Dickbringer]

MLP fans ask why we don't all watch MLP again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again ............

and people who aren't fans ask why they watch it again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again again and again and again ............
O.T. you are never the only one
no console players allowed
some very tolerant of other people's opinions others are just dicks
retro is better
don't say you like sonic, halo, CoD, or duke nukem forever and you won't get flamed

"A place full of happy sunny people who always look on the biright side of things."

I suppose the easiest way to answer the thread would be to take the entire comment section into light.

It's a gaming site, which, quite like /v/, often has me wondering if it actually enjoys video games.

 

[Tortilla the Hun]

Filled with all walks of life, even those many of us despise, humiliate, appraise, respect and/or plan to kill in a mass genocide when we rise up to power as ruler of The Universe.

 

[Felstaff]

Allies with a certain game/system (disguised fanboyism), hates on perceived competition, connoisseurs but otherwise varying levels of social immaturity, has a very strict and elitist definition of what constitutes a 'true gamer' using the no-true-scotsman fallacy, and refuses to acknowledge that gaming is, and has always been, a capitalist consumerist-driven powerhouse to which they are materialistic frenzied slaves to The Man.

Addendum: genuinely loves games when playing them.

 

[Dargocitfer]

Blargh, double post. I blame Captchas.

I think this sentence sums it up rather nicely!

Edit: Except that it's two sentences...

 

[thespyisdead]

over these past few months, that i have been posting here, i have noticed the amount of the so called "bronies." this has led me to believe, that the Escapist is full of little... never mind

 

[Quietknight360]

A friendly group of people who are enslaved by bees...

 

[Ramare]

"It has Loading Ready Run; also, Yahtzee."

The Yahtzee part can be taken as both the randomness and variation that can be found here and as the creator of Zero Punctuation, at the same time. Yay, multitasking!

 

[JoJo]

Gamers from all walks of life: the good, the bad and the ugly etc... seriously there isn't a single stereotype which everyone on this site fulfils, for every brony there is a MLP-hater, for every "nice guy" there is someone who can talk to women, for every misanthrope there's someone who knows how to enjoy life, for every person who can argue well there's a troll, for every Yahtzee parrot there's someone who can make their opinion...

 

[Terminate421]

Snotty, yet with enough intelligent humor every now and again for people with actual brains.

 

[fmazz]

I got a warning for saying one word for an entire sentence. I guess they want me to elaborate further than "happiness"

"Better than any website that can reasonable compare itself to The Escapist"

"Stay out of the basement."

You sir, are correct.

And old school, too. I haven't seen that joke in months, maybe even years...

Some of us have been here a LONG time
