Well, the title pretty much explains it all. What would life be like without the Escapist? What other internet forum would you go to? What website would you go to see funny video reviews? Would Yatzhee still be stuck o YouTube? Or would he just continue with his own personal website? What do you think?

Pretty much the same, but with less interactions with all you crazy people.

Yahtzee would either have gone to another site or he would have stopped as he needs to make money and he can't do that making random videos for youtube.

The internet would become a darker, quieter place...and dumber.

I'd get a lot more done in a day & also go to sleep earlier.

My mind would be that little bit cleaner for having not being part of any type of internet forum.
Oh and I wouldn't have had to see Ares Tyr topless (You have taken away my innocence sir)

The Escapist is only one of the ways I entertain myself. I most certainly would miss it if it up and shut down. But had it never exhisted, I'd simply be elsewhere.

Bored to tears, this is pretty much the only place so far on the internet that I actually feel welcomed to and enjoy visting.

I would shrivel up into a husk and waste away.

I don't know. Life would be normal, I would have never heard of Atlas Shrugged, I would be slightly less picky about my own English, and most of all, I would never have talked to Larenxis, Galt, Morbius, Necroswanson, Sorrow, Pie, Nil, Wilson, Anarchimesit, my fingers would cramp if I tried to type all the names in.

And me as well.

EDIT: Oh and I would also have never become an unofficial dentist/rat slave commander.

All of the highly intelligent people here at The Escapist would be politicians and Kings of the World, and the world would be a better place. Seriously, and grammar would be a lot better across the world.

Still got the Sledgewhacker9000? Good, that'll come in handy in a years time.
Bwahahahaha!

Still, I'm Honourary President, so that means I can get away with murder now, right?

I'd say yes, there's gotta be some perks to being President, Honourary or not.
Gonna get the forum badge for it by the way?

I didn't think we did?

As Honourary President of the Escapist, I demand a badge, and a gin and tonic, and a new car. (turns around) You guys want anything? Cause I'm only going to order this once.

Well for one thing Yahtzee would still be treading through the wastes of youtube.
I also have a sneaking suspicion (since I'm a Ninja, all my suspicions are sneaky) that Halo 3 would be widely regarded as the best game ever by pretty much everyone, no one would be playing Psyconauts and people would still be watching ask a Ninja.

It would be a dreary place indeed. I'd have to go to *shudders* GameFAQs for my game information.

I would be very bored with the internet thus making me put more effort into my plan to rule the world.

I would sleep more, watch more tv, write less, type slower, be more punctual, and feel a little less good about myself. Overall, the idea of The Escapist just closing down without warning and never returning is a horrifying thought, mostly because of the loss of great friends.

I wouldn't exist without the escapist. I am but a figment of your imagination. Yes, I'm talking to you...by god you're ugly.

I'd be a member and moderator of two dying forums, and that would be it. Probably more of an emphasis on talking about cars, even more to the detriment of my social life.

Wouldn't happen to know a Pestomatic* would you?

On topic: I would have almost nothing else to do with myself, these are the only forums I tust and like. My attention span is kinda short yet the escapist holds it for hours.

* = name.

I would just spend more time on the Bethesda forums, Youtube and general googleing. Surely I will find something else.

I would be playing video games at the moment.

Seriously, after I discovered the Escapist Forums, my consoles are collecting dust.

...Holy crap i just realized how little i play videogames since i joined this site.

Is that weird? Maybe it's just the un-re-playability of newer games.
