I read about Banished in the SimCity forums, as I recall.  In one of the 3,838,812 threads discussing alternate city-building options because SimCity was so terrible at launch.  Followed the devblog until release, bought two copies on Day 1 and have been playing ever since.

(For the record, I still play SimCity and it's turned into a fun game.  But I have 122 hours played on Banished in 4 months, and 95 hours played on SimCity in 15 months).

I'm subscribed to several Youtube gaming channels. One started a let's play of Banished and I thought it looked interesting and fun.

I first read about it in March 2013 (I think on Simtropolis) - about a week after the botched "release" of sc2013... that's when I started looking for alternatives  :)

Followed the dev blog ever since and knew right from the start that this is my kind of game... Bought it on day 1, and have not looked back since. The deeper I get into Banished, the more I like it.

here in Oz, we have a regular gaming show on TV http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/ and Banished got a mention.
I used to play SimCity (the first one) but my favourite was SimEarth.
The older I get, the better I was

Is there an Oz in Alice in Wonderland?  I don't remember that. I always think of The Wizard of Oz.
