I came because of ZP. And I stay because...well I don't stay. Goodbye.

I probably watch and read everything on here, but i selected the forums, i come to the escapist merely to enjoy myself since i put it with other time consuming sites such as Newgrounds. I do watch Zero Punctuation every week, but i also watch De-Rez and other stuff, The Escapist is like my online version of PC Gamer so i am happy.

Keep up the good work guys.

You guys aren't really helping my case here. I'm trying to proof that the Escapist is great, even if ZP wasn't on here

Why isn't there a 'Zero Punctuation and community' option? I wanted to watch ZP because I heard about him on Youtube, but then I wanted to go on the forums so I signed up! ^_^

A little similar, eh????

I love that 'women' have more votes than 'unforgotten realms' - those poor animators

What? The womenz here are H-O-T hot.

I am here because I like the site - articles, videos, forums- first, and well, cuz I work here, second.

I admire the fearless leadership of company management.

ZP stole my soul the minute i saw the fable review on Youtube,and the forums,De-rez,and Unforgotten realms kept me here.

To paraphrase some old, probably dead dude: "Come for the ZP, stay for the forums."

This is a very loose paraphrase; and, may in fact, not even be along the same lines.

Why are we here?
Plastic.

And if ANYONE knows what I mean by that.. <3

I'm here because I heard hot chicks come here all the time. Like the Yahtzee Croshaw. What a babe.

Yahtzee and Zero Punctuation brought nw to the site, but I started reading the forums and ended joining. I try to watch the other shows, but I can never be bothered. Unforgotten Realms lasts too long IMO.

Anarchemitis:
The Forum is the biggest lure for me at this point. Originally it was ZP.
ZP at this point is just entertainment and in my opinion merits no actual useful information on the games he reviews.

Sums it up nicely for me. I like a few of the other videos but mostly the forums.

Because 76,6% of the people in here are actually intelligent. I don't really remember how I got here. I know it was not for Zero Punctuation, only knew that after finding The Escapist. But once I saw that this was a good intelligent with great articles and less than 1 "WHO WOULD WIN? RYU HAIEBUZA or SOLID SNAKE?" that I see so many times in any other gaming forum, I quickly fell in love.

First got on the site from being linked to the Console Rundown ZP many moons ago. After many weeks of watching ZP then leaving I decided to join the forums.

Have to say that everyday I love the forums more and more

I really like the forums as it helps me with my writing and development of logical arguments against those that would impose their self righteous will against others, or have it seem that their way is the only way.

Originally came to this site to view the ZP vids. Then evetually decided to sign up and chat on the forums too. Some very intelligent threads, aswell as being a generally nice place to chill out. :)

The women here are damn nice, but ZP is more awesome!

It's hard to tell who are women from jus thread views

RIP George Carlin.

YAY!

Reasonable Doubt:
ZP and the great community that is here.

Seconded... probably not the second though.

The articles. ZP is a close second.

I came for the ZP, stayed for the forums...and for gigles, put down 'the women' for my answer.
(a man can dream, can he not?)

I joined for the forum. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum, villainy and intelligence.

Because the blue team is over there.. DUH!

I came to the site for Yahtzee, but I joined for the community :)

I was originally introduced by my older brother, who showed me the very first ZP review published here. Since then, I became amused with articles and the forums, though the latter to a less extent.

Then my computer fucked itself for several months, so only now can I catch up.

Alright I think I've found damning proof that people are here for ZP. The Escapist's page on Wikipedia says this:

"Croshaw's work first appeared on YouTube, before he was hired in August of 2007 to produce video reviews for The Escapist. His reviews led to a four hundred percent increase in the Escapist's traffic."
