What brought you here?

Is there room on the Zero Punctuation Bandwagon for one more, Yahtzee-obsessed soul?
My boyfriend showed me a video..
I laughed my ass off.
I watched every video up to date. And revisit whenever I get bored. LOVE it. Guy is a genius and could probably get me to sell my first born.. as sad as that is.

The first reply to this post was the most accurate it seems. The Escapist made a smart move in snatching up Yahtzee right quick.

I don't remember. I think I was looking up some game I was curious about for reviews and came across a link to Zero Punctuation. And there you have it.

 

[Jack Rascal]

After feeling thoroughly insulted by the latest installment of Final Fantasy, I searched the web to find reviews of it. I stumbled across Zero Punctuation and laughed in tears. I have then regularly checked the site, but only signed up yesterday. My only regret is that I now have to watch all the ZP's again to earn them lovely badges... Maybe I should rephrase that. Now I have a perfect excuse to watch all the ZP's again without feeling guilty of not doing anything productive.

So in short my answer would be, Yahtzee.

The first time I heard about the escapist was when I was asked to play a role in a short film a friend of mine was producing for a film competition the escapist was holding.

Now...I'm in here everyday lol

I was in a debate on piracy on another forum and someone linked to the Extra Credits video on it.

Yahtzee deserves partial ownership of the Escapist for what he's done for its user base. I think it's fairly clear people come for the ZP, and stay for the User Groups/Forums/Extra Credits/whatnot

 

[penguindude42]

I came for Yahtzee's blood. Instead, I got Extra Credits.

And ponies. Mostly EC, though.

Rex: Uhuhuh, he said 'came'.
Weevil: Eheheh, yeah, 'came'. Ehehuh.

Told about ZP by a friend at work, looked him up, liked his stuff, lurked the forums, eventually joined two years ago. That's it really.

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

followed (not really followed though since I only checked like one a week) yahtzee on his personal website since the dreadful blue layout

didn't bother to make an account for a long while since I don't really care about forums

yay me

Unforgotten Realms, this is the site he posted newer stuff to when I found the escapist, joined the forums a year or 2 later.

 

[Zantos]

I was a fan of Loading Ready Run long before they came on the escapist (but in a way that makes it sound less hipster), but I think actually regular visits and creating an account was because of Zero Punctuation.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

For me it was actually the Resident Evil spoof by De-Rez that first brought me here. Found there was a ton of great stuff here, so I stayed.

 

[Mannayz]

First, I lurked here, watching Zero Punctuation. Then, I was like "Ah, what the hell, I'll create an account here and join these guys and whatnot."

Turned out to be a pretty good idea.

 

[Yokai]

Unforgotten Realms, actually, not ZP. I was a fan of the originals when they appeared on Newgrounds back in 2006-2007 or whenever that was, and when they migrated to this site, so did I. Stayed for the forums and the other videos, since UF eventually got unfunny and repetitive.

yhatzee and movie bob

 

[Estranged180]

To be perfectly honest (1st post status aside...) I found Escapist completely by accident. But what's kept me here has been Yahtzee, and reading the posts that the rest of all ya'll leave.

 

[Laser Priest]

Fuckin' magnets.

No, just kidding. A combination of LoadingReadyRun, the forums, and of course, Necromancery.

 

[MisterGobbles]

A friend showed me Zero Punctuation and I became far more hooked on this site than he was.

 

[PlasmaFrog]

Once back many years ago, I joined not to long ago since I discovered that Yahtzee was partnered with Espcapist.
