" @Zeninnnnnnnn: I completely understand. The rest of this isn't directed at you BTW. You're one of the few mature people in this thread.  I listen to the podcast every night - yeah every night, Brad's voice helps me sleep. What? - so the Bombcast is very precious to me. It sucks that she may/may not have ruined the show for some people, but death threats and photoshop threads are an extremely immature way to deal with it.   Podcast ruined for you? Bummer, that sucks. I kind of don't want to listen to it again either, but guys, it's a free podcast.... death threats? It frightens me to imagine what some of you do when someone turns around in your driveway? =P Side-note: Come on. That chick was hammered!!! It's a bad idea to have her on the podcast in that state, and allow her to use Twitter apparently, but I don't think we really know her well enough to critique her so harshly. At least take a few baby steps before you get into the "fuck that bitch in the mouth, I hope she dies in a car fire," stage. Chillax people. Go play some Rez. "

" I thought she was interesting. So what if she was drunk and you found it annoying that's what all women are like when they're drunk. ; ) I liked her, I even sent her an email of support and apologising for some of the arseholes on the interwebs. "

" She's still tweeting about it. She's still arguing that it cost half a billion dollars. She has a gigantic ego and people tend to respond viscerally to that. "Have fun at home while we're at E3, internet kids," basically throwing her own audience under the bus with that comment to make herself feel more important. "Keep making me famous, haters," is basically her admitting 'I am not on your podcast to have a conversation, I am here so that you will know my name by the end of it.' And you know what? It worked.   I had no clue who she was before this.I'm human and when I see a train wreck happening in slow motion I watch with glee. Being obnoxious has nothing to do with gender, it's a sense of entitlement, and a general lack of respect for other people's opinions. Everyone in that room gave her more respect than she deserves. Don't broadcast on the internet when you're liquored up. You will regret it in the morning and for the rest of your professional life.  "

THIS.   I've already said my piece about internet white knights.  C'mon.  Do some of the hateful things have to come in to play?  Probably not.  But this is two years in a row now.  And she's still talking trash about it on twitter.  C'mon.  Look at it for what it is: An attention starved young woman who desperately wants to be known for something.  She wants attention.  And attention came during the GiantBomb stream tonight, and attention will be brought to her by twitter and her own website.  The only thing I feel sorry for is that the GB staff and guests had to endure that nonsense for as long as they did. "

" It's her job to have an opinion, so for that - I LIKE HER. "

" Haven't listened to it yet, but last year I found the reaction to her to be way over the top. I guess i'll find out later today.  In any case the GB 'community' embarrasses itself once again. People don't need to act like some angry mob to get their point across. "

" I don't hate her at all. Maybe my expectations for the event podcasts differ from most peoples'. All I want from the PAX, E3, etc. podcasts is to hear a bunch of drunk people who are really good buddies, sit around and tell funny anecdotes.  It's all for fun! As soon as the Bomb Squad settles down and does another normal podcast, I'm sure we'll get the calm, professional coverage of games we always get. It's not a biggie, really. "

You sound like someone who didn't listen to it. A lot of people seem to be popping in, having not listened to it, and are responding to the forum comments like they're in a vacuum and completely ignoring how utterly classless and petty she was the entire time and continues to be. No class to be found on either side here. "

Kinda rude.... but OK. 
 
I came in a little late, but I still heard plenty of Leigh. It was Leigh being Leigh. Perhaps even louder than last year. But fuck it. Some people are just more rowdy than others, and I find the chaos to be pretty damn funny at times. Even if it's for the wrong reasons. 
 
Fast-forwarding has become such a trivial task on portable media devices. When the Bombcast is posted for download, is it really that big of a deal in the long-run? Just skip it. "

We've already covered this. You could say "just skip it" about anything you have a problem with. If people didn't post things they have a problem with, there wouldn't be an internet (other than porn). Its a lazy talking point, "just skip it". "

I admit it's a lazy answer and maybe not the best way to deal with things, but tearing someone to pieces on internet forums is not helping either. A person can only take so much abuse, and this kind of insensitive bullshit has lead to all kinds of suicides. That's just awful beyond words. Some polite requests sent to Ryan or Jeff could prevent her from being a guest ever again. It's one day out of the entire year though, I really don't see how this has gotten to be such a HUGE deal. 
 
I can guarantee everything that was at E3 will be covered on the Bombcast at a later date if you really can't stand her. I've just never seen so much hatred for a single person before.  "

It's not white knighting, you cunts are fucking embarrassing, get out of your basements and learn to have some common decency,  
 
I doubt anyone here has ever heard of taking the high road, 
 
I hope that you dick weeds learn to treat others with with some decorum and respect, even if it isn’t earned. 
You may claim hypocrisy, but you people don't deserve my respect. 
 
I said it once, I'll say it again, grow up.

" wow man way to be an ass, i wasn't super thrilled to see her but she wasn't that bad "

" I think Leigh Alexander is a great journalist. I love her articles on Kotaku and read Gamasutra all the time.  Please, do not bring her back onto the Bombcast though, especially if she's drunk. "

" I literally have no problem at all with this girl.  She started some weird convos  was loud or whatever (but hey its like a party boozing after alot of work) even if wrong, I am having fun watching it, so much hate for a stranger. "
