Support NeoGAF

[besada]

Aisha, I just wanted to thank you for coming on GAF and putting up with us. Also, for Archer and the many laughs I've had about your monster hands.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

The distinct lack of Bloodborne feels in this thread makes me sad.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Half of my friends hated to see you again this year at ubisofts conference but I was actually pretty happy. Some of them thought u were making fun of the guy who said beta wrong but I just think they took it the wrong way bc you had heels on and a lot of guys aren't used to taller women in power in general.

To set the record straight, I'm right, right?

EDIT: haha missed her by 1 minute, perfect timing

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Aisha, thanks for being awesome and taking the time to answer our questions! Your answers were great and they made me laugh.

Have a super awesome day!

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this!

 

[Y0j1mb0]

One of the more entertaining threads here. Good stuff.

 

[Kinyou]

That was really a joy to read. Great to see someone engage the audience that directly. Hope Ubisoft keeps hiring you as their host.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Thanks, Aisha! You're awesome.

I will not recant my statement about Fallout: New Vegas, as I played the whole thing and I developed no more affection for it at the end than I had at the beginning. HOWEVER. I will say that that game wasn't for me, and I have elaborated in this thread as to why.

Seriously though, thanks for the thread!

 

[TheOMan]

So thanks to everyone who posted here. I couldn't read, let alone respond to, all your posts, but thanks for making this such a chunky robust thread. Whee!

Final thoughts:

Interviewed Far Cry 4 EP Dan Hay yesterday for my podcast. Talked about a LOT of stuff, including how he got into the gaming industry and how they create new Far Cry games. That will post this Tuesday at girlonguy.net for those of you who know how to operate computer things that make sounds.

We also talked about how hard it is to create a game, and what a massive undertaking that is, and how soul crushing it is when you've spent two years pouring your blood into something and then someone skitters up to you on the floor at E3 or online and says "your game sucks" and then bobbles away to eat a corn dog.

This made me consider the number of times I've dismissed a game glibly and out of hand with a few casual words -- like, a million times. And it made me wonder what it would be like to put two years of my life and energy and ideas and weekends into a game, and maybe destroy my marriage and my health and my friendships and my spirit to get this thing out, and then someone dumps on it summarily and can't even tell you WHY they don't like it, just that it "sucks."

So. I am going to recant my previous statement about Destiny, until I have played the game and can evaluate it fully. I poo-pooed it before it was even out, which I will admit, was a LITTLE premature. Just a tiny bit.

Not every game is for everyone. Don't freak out on someone just because they aren't as obsessed with Elder Scrolls as you are, or because they're struggling to understand why building a slime farm in Minecraft is a thing. Gamers are not a monolith. When I dismiss "cute" games I am not necessarily saying cute games suck.

I am just saying that they suck for ME.

I do not make this statement in the hope that the internet will become a kinder place.

I know that this is utter folly.

Have an awesome day everyone!!!

Excellent - I'm enjoying the Alpha, it feels like an amped up Halo, but that's not a bad thing. I expect to see you online, join my fireteam and lay the smackdown together. Or I can destroy you in the Crucible, your choice. Again, look up Tokunbo on PSN if you like, no worries, if you don't. Cheers!

Edit: Just saw this post from LukeSmith from Bungie, figured you might find it interesting: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=115321786&postcount=1557

 

[dave is ok]

I'm disappointed that my question at post 6 was not answered. I guess we'll never know.

 

[Skiptastic]

Great thread! Thanks for answering all the questions!

 

[justsomeguy]

Off-Topic GAF just lost their marbles reading this!

"This does not adhere to the advice we give people we don't know! Divorce that fucker ASAP"

It's sensible advice Imo

 

[-COOLIO-]

It's sensible advice Imo

Meryl Streep is like the sun and you should not look into her eyes directly or you will be blinded by the solar flares of her talent.

I see Gabourey often. She's funny and smart and delightful and rad. I am so happy for all of her success.

Glorious post.

Thank you so much for replying and posting its been so much fun!

Hope you come again next E3 (and every E3) and not just at Ubi...Everywhere basically lol

 

[Darren_z33]

Ugh. Fallout 3. My house in Megaton is literally exploding with caps and Nuka Colas. I'm not proud of it.

But I should be.

Marry me! The wait for Fallout 4 is tough.

If you could chokeslam someone, anyone, through a table, who would that person be? And why would you totally chokeslam them through a table?

[hunnies28]

Just wanted to drop a quick thank you for your work. ... in the danger zone.

But seriously, thanks.

 

[Aisha Tyler]

I'm disappointed that my question at post 6 was not answered. I guess we'll never know.

WE NEVER WILL!!!!!!

 

[kinn]

Crap have I missed this?!

 

[figadapaura]

Crap have I missed this?!

Yes.

 

[Impeccable]

WE NEVER WILL!!!!!!

What is the current value in CDN dollars of a bitchcoin?

(Just caught up on WLIIA and found that whole episode one of the best yet.)

m0dus wouldn't sign her DVD of Annie Hall.

 

[Swhalen]

I did not. We all record our episodes of Archer separately.

However, The Bourdain and I are friendly. He did an episode of my podcast, which is how he ended up on Archer. http://girlonguy.net/podcast/girl-on-guy-48-anthony-bourdain-2/

I also did an episode of his show The Getaway. So there's that. http://tv.esquire.com/videos/70579-the-getaway-aisha-tyler-devours-classic-parisian-bistro-cuisine

The eternal bourbon-soaked golden braid.

Awesome! I didn't know that. Thanks for the reply.
I'll check out both links.

Do you feel bad for being mean to Edgar and Chloe? You really shouldn't have overheard that conversation.

 

[Chairhome]

Just wanted to point out a nice little bit of showing her nerd cred: on the last whose line, she said "you make a great chicken, if only I could eat you and ingest your powers... Like a game of Tekken"
