No, but I did get some really nifty shuriken magnets, so it's still a win. |

Were they shurikens of lightning? Sorry couldn't resist. Do the shurikens actually work?Because that would be pretty sweet! User was banned for: Poll: Round 5 - Field of Four - (1) Turbine vs (1) Nintendo. (Permanent) |

Anonymous Source Posts: 2 Joined: 11 Dec 2008   | mine was "THE exit from boredom.", using the whole ESCAPE theme. but...whatever. congrats to all. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 393 Joined: 7 Feb 2008    | I liked "We have issues." better. But congrats to the winners. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 869 Joined: 20 Dec 2007 | Mine was, "Welcome, welcome to the Escapist, it's safer here." But on reflection it doesn't seem so good anymore. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2381 Joined: 6 Mar 2008  | Mine was "game chat matters". Also not very good upon reflection. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1615 Joined: 16 Jan 2008   | Well done to the winners.I don't mind not winning this one, really. That EvE one was the only one I got me hopes up for. Be damned if I don't enter anyway though! |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 648 Joined: 6 Feb 2008    | Congrats. These probably beat my suggestion: "The Escapist, where stupid people need not apply." |
Brand Manager Posts: 2437 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 | Trust me when I say there were a lot of GREAT slogans. It was very difficult to bring it down to 5. |

Anonymous Source Posts: 1 Joined: 10 Dec 2008   | You know, I'd like to think a site like this would choose something a little funnier or to-the-point. The bland vagueries here all sound like capital M Marketing to me (my wife works in the Publishing Industry as a Marketing Manager, so perhaps I'm a little jaded by it). They're not bad at all, just sort of generic. You could apply them to any gaming website. My entry of "We have more than Zero Punctuation......promise" (with promise in italics) was obviously the right choice. :) |
On the Record  Posts: 5153 Joined: 3 Mar 2008 | Good job to all the winners: My personal favourite was Adair_The_Skull's. Oh, and if anyone wants to know, I entered with: The Escapist: On The Right Page. |
Anonymous Source Posts: 1 Joined: 9 Oct 2008 | I don't understand why these captions won. Not only do they lack any creativity, but they are cliched and boring. Mine was at least worth a mention, I think. "The Escapist: Ensconce, Efface, Educe." It is perfect alliteration, and unless you have never read a book, you should know what the words mean, and that the phrase makes sense. To Escape, you first settle into a private, comfortable place. Then you you erase all prior preconceptions of yourself or the world around you- you start with a clean slate. Finally, you develop previously latent potential in yourself. All of these things make up the act of Escaping into a video game. |
