" So why the hate for Leigh? I don't know her, but apparently she was obnoxious the last time she was around? "The last time she was on a GiantBomb podcast (apparently the last E3), she was extremely loud and obnoxious. You can imagine how much it takes to appear loud and obnoxious on a GiantBomb podcast. More, she was constantly interrupting and talking over everyone else and rather insulting and dismissive of everyone on the show at one point or another during it. You could actually hear the frustration and exhaustion in their voices as the show neared the end. She then excused her behavior because she said she was drunk.
A lot of people excused it because they were too busy being preoccupied that there was a girl somewhere around and others were incredibly crude and harsh. The rest sort of seemed to fall in the middle of "oh my god, that was a catastrophe and I really don't like that chick". That's where I fell in the spectrum. The podcast back then was not exactly the same format as it is here, though, with more people and a more relaxed atmosphere than last time which I think may be more appropriate for her (and having Paul Barnette in the same room who can give her a run for her money isn't a bad choice, either).
Of course, you'll also notice that in the last few minutes, Ryan had to threaten to turn everyone's (*cough* Leigh's *cough*) microphones off. At least she seems to be doing a little less of the "I KNOW EVERYTHING AND MY OPINION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS ROOM" thing.
Brave and considerate of the guys to give her another shot.
