Beat Writer  Posts: 194 Joined: 30 Mar 2008     | My brother showed me ZP. I'm not sure how he found it though. |
Paperboy  Posts: 25 Joined: 3 Jul 2008   | my step dad showed me Zero Punctuation, and that weekend i watched all of the old episodes back-to-back. best waste of time ever |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 632 Joined: 7 Jan 2008  | 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... |

Wow, I've never been a cool kid before. What, do we wear shirts or something? |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 721 Joined: 8 May 2008    | 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:D |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1667 Joined: 8 Apr 2008     | 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... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 923 Joined: 21 Jun 2008  | 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. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 515 Joined: 23 May 2008  | 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." |

Paperboy  Posts: 11 Joined: 3 Jul 2008 | My friend showed me Yahtzees reveiw of Halo 3 and I was hooked |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 95 Joined: 27 Jun 2008 | 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 |
Server Administrator  Posts: 476 Joined: 27 Sep 2004    | 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... ;) |
Muckraker  Posts: 245 Joined: 29 Apr 2008 | Read about it on the blog of the editor of an written games magazine |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 539 Joined: 23 Jun 2008 | 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: |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1009 Joined: 22 Apr 2008  | 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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1105 Joined: 13 Nov 2007     | 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. |

On the Record  Posts: 6849 Joined: 23 Dec 2007  | 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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1493 Joined: 5 Jun 2008  | 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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3480 Joined: 18 Dec 2007 | 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. |

Muckraker  Posts: 289 Joined: 5 Feb 2007 | Stumbleupon, about 2 years ago. Before Zero Punctuation. Before Escapist 2.0. Back when the articles were beautifully layed out just like it were a glossy magazine you'd go and buy. I miss that version of the website... |

I was reading something bashing CAD (I think), and I got a link to ZP. I followed it, and then I watched a few. Hooked ever since, though it took me a little while to join up. I mean, I ghosted for about quite a bit before posting.
