I know Jesus Christ at least now she shut up pls send in more hate mail so she is quite for longer" SHE JUST SAID NO ONE ELSE IS GETTING HATE MAIL NOW BECAUSE THERE NOT WOMEN, GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE LEIGH YOUR JUST ANNOYING. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR GENDER. I'm sorry I typed in caps that just really bothered me. The nerve of her to say the only reason people have a problem with her is because she's a woman. "

Lordy. Thank gooses. Something sad though- when I switched over to Jeff's stream, I was very quickly brought back to feeling how I feel when I watch the regular bombcast. For 3 hours this podcast has been terrible. What a disappointing end to E3.
As much as I was looking forward to tonight's broadcast I literally had to stop watching it because of her. She completely ruined the bombcast.
She dominated every conversation, derailed every subject and interrupted constantly never giving others time to speak. Sure, there's room for goofing off and casual talking but there were ten or so people there and she was talking ****literally**** 60-70% of the broadcast. At most she should have been talking 10% of the time. I think someone should go so far as to go through the archive footage and find out exactly what that percentage was so the cast/crew of GiantBomb knows and sees how rediculous that was (God forbid if they ever have her on again). Obviously she wasn't that popular with the viewers last year I don't get why you had her back.
I get that she's female and that being female in the video game world buys you tons of attention but this was way, way out of control.
I suffered through it as long as I could (two freaking hours of chaos and her just interrupting people adding no value to the conversation) hopping that this would turn into the typical GiantBomb broadcasts that we love but it became obvious that was not going to happen.
I love you GiantBomb.. Obviously the crew like this girl. She must have redeeming qualities outside of this. But straight up, she ruined tonights broadcast.

And no, I don't think her being a woman played a part (at least not for me, and other sensible people). Regardless of gender, she was utterly unbearable.
" @TheMustacheHero said:If you are seriously comparing Johnny V to Leigh you must be on crack. Johnny had fun stories and let everyone talk freely about games. The only time he ever "interrupted" was when they were breaking his balls, which was very playful and light hearted. He never interrupted anyone when they were discussing their experience or opinion about a game. Even talking about Tron and other Disney products he allowed others to talk while Leigh jumped on Ryan and Chris Titlo, especially Chris I felt bad for him :(, about her "sources" that turned out to be wrong. 775 million..." @jukezypoo said:I'll admit she interrupts a little bit, but really no worse than any of the other guests.

http://www.giantbomb.com/podcast/?podcast_id=93" Does anyone know what the date was for the show she was in last year? "
" I missed 775 million. Care to explain? "She said that it cost Activision 775 million to rent out the Staples Centre. She fought about her sources for 10min, to the point where everyone in the room was politely trying to say thats not possible. Chris T had the shining moment of telling her and the group it cost Activision 7.75 million... everyone in the chat cheered.
" @General_D23 said:I'll admit, I wasn't really paying much attention. Maybe?" @Dany said:She was wearing a bra? "" ...was that her bra or am i just tired? "Probably both? "
Let's not even argue about whether she was loud or her voice was annoying or how what she was saying was not relevant. She literally talked 60-70% of the time on a show ten or so people!!! She should have been talking at most 10% of the time. This is NOT an opinion based situation where you can say "oh she wasn't that bad". She has no control over herself. You think about all the time and money GiantBomb invested into e3 coverage and here was supposed to be the wrap up show for the fans and she made it all about her.
EDIT: I want to make it clear that if she had talked her fair 10% of the time I probably would have enjoyed having her on, I'm sure she's a nice person but she made it unwatchable by monopolizing the whole show. If they are going to have her on again all someone needs to do is say look there's x number of people here try not to talk 1/x percent of the time. if she did that everything would be sunshine and unicorns.
