	Community Member Creates Musical Tribute to The Escapist *In this arrangement dedicated to all things Escapist, btenkink has certainly touched all the bases.* With a daily influx of adorable animal pictures as well as an occasional mailing of cookies, we here at The Escapist thought we had everything. That is until a dedicated fan sent us this original musical composition crammed full of delicious Escapist shout-outs. From calling out fan favorite Zero Punctuation, to a mention of LoadingReadyRun, this little ditty references plenty of Escapist content favorites and in-jokes. This number is aptly titled "Great Escape" and gives us a singular glimpse into the mind of a die-hard Escapist fan. You can listen to it below. Now that you've heard the song, here are a couple of The Escapist staff's favorite lyrics: My great escape is one related link away. Five years running and it keeps getting better I don't know how Susan Arendt keeps it together I enjoyed your site so much I thought I'd write you a letter Let you know, let y'all know I hope you publish forever. Thanks again to btenkink for this amazing contribution! Permalink

	Well quite clearly this needs to follow to it's logical conclusion, which of course, is a song with Miracle Of Sound =P Very nice indeed.

	Great work. I was expecting mentions of closed shows but i guess it wouldn't fit well.

	What is this weird stuff coming out of my ear? I...I think I just had an eargasm from the epic song I just heard. If they still had the Thanks! Badge then this person deserves one for sure!

See, I'm happy to see/hear/enjoy stuff like that because I would never be able to do something like that myself. :D

	By the time the song was over, my grin was so wide it stretched right round so the two corners met at the back of my head, and then the top half of my face fell off. Great song brought to you by btenkink. Disturbing mental image brought to you by NinjaDeathSlap. We all have our talents.

	I will buy this song for as much as you want for it, I MUST have it. Already learning it on my guitar.

Solo-Wing	21 POSTED: 14 Nov 2012 21:49
	Ok first. This man deserves to be Pubclub. Second. I want this song. Download location?

[The]Rock	22 POSTED: 14 Nov 2012 21:57
	Cue everyone making Escapist dedication songs. Actually, that's not a bad idea...

btenkink	23 POSTED: 14 Nov 2012 22:34
	I've been convinced to put the song on Bandcamp. You can download the song here: http://btenkink.bandcamp.com/track/great-escape-the-escapist-song

Solo-Wing	24 POSTED: 14 Nov 2012 22:40
	Damn it I got no money.

CleverCover	25 POSTED: 15 Nov 2012 00:35
	.....As soon as I get some money, I swear to buy the song. Until then though, 'hits play'.

	Well that blew me away. Came in skeptical. Left really rather happy. I think it covers pretty much most of the reasons to like the site. ;D
