Fuck you!

good lord. God have mercy on us all.

As long as she could understand that there are other people on the podcast besides her, then I'm sure it would be a great podcast.  Whether people like it or not, she's got a lot of great points to make about the industry.

On the ustream ride home, Ryan said she would probably be on the podcast, but to not worry because she's very aware of how bad she was last time.

" Carrie Gouskos and Paul Barnett - YES!  "

Of course she needs to be one so those disgruntle assholes from last year can eat their words.

I didn't have a problem with her, so I wouldn't mind if she made another appearance on the Bombcast.

" On the ustream ride home, Ryan said she would probably be on the podcast, but to not worry because she's very aware of how bad she was last time. "

I wouldn't mind Leigh coming back to the podcast. She's made it clear that she learned her lesson. What I would like though, is to have the guys from Joystiq on the podcast. Will Chris or Justin be at E3?

No.
 
EDIT:Huh. Apparently I already posted in this thread.
 
Well, it bears repeating.

NONONONONONONONONONONONO. Please no. And  @Guyzea said:

" Would much rather fight 8 Deadly Premonition wall crawler ladies in a row with the handgun than listen to her. "

Sigh...Anyway, can you link or name which video it was? "

" I listened to that Bombcast. I found nothing wrong with it, except for the community's reaction. "

Couldn't have said it better. "

Ehh I'm not totally against it, not gonna lie, I could barely listen to it because of her... But, she did say she was drunk or something so, sure, give her another shot.

" so, sure, give her another shot. "

I foresee this going poorly. While I disagreed with some of the things she said, and thought that her constantly interrupting to be obnoxious, the reaction to the podcast was probably the single lowest point for the GB community. Disagreeing with her or criticizing her monopolizing the conversation for Kojima gushing is one thing; saying half the ultra-misogynist things that people posted honestly made me have to step away from the forums for a long, long time.

I actually never listened to the Bombcast she was on and based on what everyone said about it, I don't think I ever want to. So no thank you.

laughing at your reactions bombers, it's what happens when she gets tipsy, and you assumed that she was always like that? 
 
Her knowledge on the industry is just. If she's on the podcast, all credit to her.

Please don't

....yeah. People getting drunk does not change their opinion, it merely changes the way they say it. Actually, seeing how they lose their inhibitions, people are at their most honest when their drunk. What she said was nonsensical garbage. "

" @OllyOxenFree:  She is my fair maiden.
 @luce:  Their uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss "

I'm simply astonished.  
 
"Learned her lesson?" What lesson? She was a guest host on a free podcast revolving around a free media outlet (website) that is Giant Bomb and that she was invited by one of the main reviewers and members of the outlet itself.  Where the fuck did this self-entitlement come from that means all people on the Bombcast must be endearing to you, and only you few? I'm not saying this because I liked her, hell no she was a mic hog, but responding in this way is a sign of social ineptitude and, I think, a desensitization of actual people. Are you people aware this is something that you chose to consume? Something that you could just hit "Stop" and never go back to? Commenting on it does nothing but breed stupidity and puerile comments. 
 
I didn't think she was an issue, sure she was loud and talked a lot, but you guys/gals complaining have obviously never been drunk. You talk bullshit for hours because of it, and it was sort of the guys' fault for allowing a drunk woman (not to sound sexist, but a lot of women can talk and talk and talk when they're drunk) on the podcast, and talking MGS4. I'm just surprised that nearly half, or more based on eyeballin' it, of this thread has such a massive chip on their shoulder about the podcast.  
 
Whatever, if she's sober this year, and even if she's drunk you can count me in for consuming more GB content, and learning more about E3 through the podcasts.

I don't get what the big deal about her is.

She got drunk and talked about Nazi's being super cool. Also she constantly interrupted. "

She didn't say Nazis were cool, she said their style was cool (as in look, clothing, uniforms, etc).  To answer the OP, though, no I wouldn't want to have her again on the podcast. She tends to hog the whole conversation as if it's the Leigh Alexander show. That poor GRIN dude barely got to a say word because of her. And her voice was like a drill in my head... maybe slightly worse. I can't believe I actually listened to the whole thing. "

I liked having her on the podcast. She was funny and brought up good points. So what if she hogged the podcast?

"annoying overbearing japanophile "

sums her up perfectly. "

Leigh was entertaining and fairly insightful, and since her Bombcast appearance I've become a big fan of her articles. She deserves a second chance, seeing as how she seems to have not made a good first impression on the Giant Bomb community. I'd be glad to see her on an E3 podcast again.

I'd love to have her on again if only to piss off the idiots on this site.

There was a crazy drunk scottish guy on 1UP Yours back when it existed. He was worse than her.

Wait preferring Japanese games makes you a Japanophile? Because in that aspect what I remember her saying was that she preferred Japanese game design (Old RE over new RE for example), is that the criteria for being considered a Japanophile?  "

Christ no.

She was pretty awful. DO NOT WANT.

I'd rather have hitler himself on the bombcast than her again. Rude! 

Man, a lot of you people need to shut up and get real. Was she annoying? A little, but most certainly not as much as the lot of you fools. Everything she said was extremely interesting. It got me to visit her blog regularly and read her thoughts on games and journalism, which is fascinating. I want her on the bombcast again; I am sure she has learned her lesson.
