35 minute in, and yep, she's basically ruining the show. There are few traits more obnoxious or immature than the need to constantly interrupt and talk over the other people engaged in a conversation.

keep listening, when she apologizes about being rude and belligerent the last time she was on and one of the other guests goes "I cannot imagine that" I totally lost my shit.

I agreed with that sentiment, so it's cool. When she denigrated flyover country....that's when I was offended. I may be a sexist but she is clearly a territorialist.

Ryan does this deliberately. A bit like Stewie provoking Brian in Family Guy. He always emphasizes the incorrect words/pronunciations, as well as a few that sound wrong but are actually correct, like 'fortza.' Her trying to correct him was just more of her trying to be a smart ass and failing.

Most people hated her during the live cast. She simply couldn't stop interrupting people. Man or woman, that's the action of an asshole.

I don't think she was as bad as people made her out to be, she was fun for some parts of the show, but yeah the rude behavior is what really got on my nerves. There is one part where I believe Ryan is talking about either motion control or 3D technology and she doesn't let him get one sentence completed. There is literally something like 5 sentences in a row where Ryan tries to make a point and she cuts him off every single time. It's really frustrating. And then later she says "Let me just get this one sentence out!" when someone interrupts her. :lol

I think she would have been a lot more fun if she wasn't so drunk. I don't really understand why she came on the bombcast again and got hammered when it was bad last year as well too. Has she been on another podcast before where she wasn't drunk? I want to hear that Leigh.

EDIT: Also some of Paul's insights sounded like complete bullshit, just like last year when he got excited over some toy his kid had...

Oh sports fans. You're so charming. Advocating saying "fuck you" to an entire area because you dislike their team. Playing games is serious business, you see! And when you yourself aren't actually playing, just WATCHING dudes playing? VERY serious business.

Stay classy GAF.


Yeah, gender clearly has no place in this conversation.

So what would have me do? To be quiet and not call out a person who clearly had no right being on a podcast when she obviously had not learned from her previous time on the bombcast? Then she goes ahead and tells the entire GB community to fuck off? And you expect me to be nice? Rightttt.

It was posted in the room when others brought up her as being the vuvuzela and this was coined:

Vuvuzeleigh

That word alone should be enough to explain her, and warn new people.

Check out all of his appearances on RebelFM. Even if you hate the show, he's on top form.
Or drunk.

And I'm sure that was her reasoning as well, and not just fanatical ill will.

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I came in on Thursday when they had been recording for a little over an hour live, so I'm watching the beginning of the recording and I noticed something.

Part of the reason why I find her annoying, at least in the beginning, is that Ryan fucking turned her mic up at least 50-100% higher than Paul Barnett's microphone. Conspiracy, Ryan knew what they were doing all along and trolled us.

And surely a gamer on a message board knows nothing of fanatical ill will towards other people's preferences! That's only found in those silly sports where you score touchgoals in the World Championship Bowl!

Well, to be fair, you did say "I share that sentiment" and didn't expand on that statement.

Yes, and I'm irritated by them all equally. Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft fanboys are just as obnoxious as sports team fanboys. I thought the point of both of these pastimes was to have fun and be entertained, not fling around hate and insults.

Anyway. How about those video games?

She is a fucking idiot. In December 2009, HER OWN FUCKING WEBSITE ran the story that THE ENTIRE Call of Duty franchise had reached $3 Billion overall. So Activition, I mean Bobby Kotick's pocket, paid an entire 1/3rd of the entire earning of the franchise for an E3 party.

"My sources tell me" that Leigh Alexander is so desperately wanting attention that she'll yell out inane stupid bullshit about how she's from Brooklyn with real music, that you should fuck Boston, and she can hold her booze well. Now, that was E3.

She was definitely obnoxious with the constant interrupting and Brooklyn poseurism but the hate seems a little disproportionate to the crime.

The line I found most offensive though was when she asked one of those guys to get her into a party because she's a journalist. The way she said it was just -_-

While listening to Day 3, I went back to Giant Bomb to check the comments to see if I was the only one who was bothered by Leigh Alexander. I found it odd that all the comments were extremely positive, with things said such as "Best Bombcast ever" and the like. Then I noticed a comment about Johnny V and realized I was on the page for Day 2 :lol

That's still her defense, huh? She really isn't helping herself by being completely blind to how obnoxious a person she was being. I wonder if she listens/watches to the podcast and thinks to herself, "What's wrong with all these girl haters, I'm positively charming!"

I guarantee that if we play this for our wives/girlfriends/sisters/mothers/whoever they would be far more harsh than most of us. Oh, but then they'd just be jealous and catty, wouldn't they? Besides, why put someone you love through all of that?

Johnny V is a good guest. He always brings it with his patented tales of stupidity. The 'Horsey?' bit was hilarious.
