Yikes. What a way to handle yourself.
Yeah he seemed pretty reasonable on Weekend Confirmed. The difference here is a lack of respect. Criticize the game, don't belittle the people who worked on it.Is there a developer more open to criticism than Jaffe? Just the way he presents himself on podcasts (cursing aside) I don't think I've heard anyone more enthusiastic to get honest and negative feedback on their game
She can't be expected to slog through drivel like Twisted Metal when she's busy decoding Kojima's genius in Metal Gear Solid for the rest of us.
"Nobody really appreciates Kojima's true genius. It's like Kojima is old snake, BECAUSE HE'S OLD TOO AND THERES NO ROOM FOR SNAKE AND THERES NO ROOM FOR KOJIMA OR SOMETHING"
Have we not yet realised that Alexander is just a stupid cunt who should be ignored?
If she were a GAFer she wouldn't have made it beyond the status of Junior. Then she'd say EviLore was sexist.
Having not played the MGS games, I actually found what she had to say on it pretty interesting and well-thought out if not a bit pretentious. Though I suppose it could also be bat-shit insane. Yeah, let's just go with that.
Her thought out articles (such as the ones for Edge) are fine. Any spur of the moment comments (such as things on Twitter and comments on Podcasts) are usually terrible.

Please don't use gendered insults, thanks.
For those who aren't on twitter or missed it being mentioned, Ryan is off this week so he likely won't be on any Quick Looks or the Bombcast.
Is Ryan on assignment or vacation?
Edit: ah, sickness. Great. : /
But she's the unofficial 6th member of Giant Bomb.Can we please not bog the thread down with stuff that has no real relation to GB? Go make a thread for it if you think it's that conversation worthy.
But she's the unofficial 6th member of Giant Bomb.
I would make a thread but would anyone who's not a GB enthusiast even know who she was?
Apples and oranges, Jeff Green doesn't have the same cult status as Leigh does.I also vote that we no longer post stuff about her. She was on two Bombcasts. If that counted, we should also be posting Jeff Green news all over the place.
On-topic: I'm really curious who will get the ME3 review. Brad?
I'm an equal opportunistic, even with insults. Applies to both genders - that's the beauty of it!
If it's good for Vinny, it's good for me.

Jeff's Blog said:Mortal thoughts
This past 6 months marked two significant milestones in my life: I turned 50, and my daughter turned 18. Even typing these sentences now results in a certain cognitive dissonance, or, to speak more plainly--a quiet little freakout.
...
Vinny didn't call anyone that though. The beauty of language is you can get your point across without resorting to shock value. If you can't express why you feel so strongly about her without using words like that, then it seems like you don't know what the hell you feel besides anger.

So, Jeff is hosting the Bombcast this week then?
That'll mean that the podcast will be 33% shorter, but the opening will be at least twice as funny.
I'd argue that the beauty of language is that it's capable of shocking. That a society has set an arbitrary line below a set of words deemed too offensive even for a mixed company willing to accept broad vulgarity like fuck, cock, shit, etc is total horseshit.

Sounds like a bunch of rich words to say that insulting a woman by using the word "cunt" is acceptable. I don't get it. Just like I don't get people telling Pachter to die in a prediction thread. Sure you may think their opinions are so totally off the wall insane and uninformed but being insulting doesn't seem to be an appropriate response.

Nothing about her rant was positive. If I was Kojima, I would actually think about stop making games just because one of my fans is as insane as her.Having not played the MGS games, I actually found what she had to say on it pretty interesting and well-thought out if not a bit pretentious. Though I suppose it could also be bat-shit insane. Yeah, let's just go with that.
I do love me some Jeff Green.What? Have you never heard of GFW Radio, Out of the Game or Jeff Green's EA Antics™?
He's so much more popular/liked than Leigh and rightfully so!

Yep! Stop it you silly kids.Seriously though this is not the place for this, it's pointless and has nothing to do with Giant Bomb.
In my mind it's not the word it's the sentiment behind it, there's really no need to be that harsh towards a person just because you dislike them. I mean what the hell did Leigh do to warrant such vitriol? Got drunk and acted stupid on a podcast? Dear god, why hasn't she been arrested?

I agree, but to be fair, you were the one who highlighted it and made a big deal of it.Seriously though this is not the place for this, it's pointless and has nothing to do with Giant Bomb.
Cunt?
