What do you think about the situation and difficulties involving misogyny/sexism in the videogame industry? Do you think it's a situation of people outside the industry imposing their views on gamers, like when the GameJam collapsed because the host tried to ask if having a female on their team was an advantage or disadvantage, or that there are some deep seated issues that are foundational that need to be changed perspective wise in male gamers themselves? In your interaction with male gamers, what is your impression of all this, and is the perpetuation of violence in gaming hurting the proliferation of female talent within this industry, or is it something that can be resolved?
Jesus! Who spanks babies? You're a monster.

TIL Aisha Tyler doesn't like Destiny or Halo.

She is completely right, and The Division is the most promising shooter.

GAF needs a system like twitter with how many famous people claim to roam on here.
or would that be too much?

I don't think so, but I've seen her on a few occasions and she's mentioned being here once or twice on other places.
haha nice!
Great job at the presser event thanks for not overusing or trying to use nerd, geek etc. Great job you need to host more stuff.

You do a great job of hosting the Ubisoft conferences; I think of you as the face of Ubisoft, for what it's worth. Metal Gear Solid V seems right up your alley (as the Assassin's Creed fan you are), just curious as to your thoughts on the game. Whether you are able to answer or not, thanks for the thread!

If your the biggest di(k at E3, who is the buiggest pu$$y there?
You two should meet...

You say you like RPGs, did you happen to see Final Fantasy Type-0 HD? If so, how does it look? Have you seen or played the original to compare it? Any news on a western release time frame?
Any news on the PS3/360 AC game supposedly coming out this year along with Unity? I am a complete sucker for AC and I'm glad two games are (allegedly) coming out. Sorry everyone.
If you happened to play FC3 on PC, does 4 look much better or similar? I thought 3 looked great on a good PC, but it's hard to tell these things in online streams.
If any of this has been widely reported I've been busy this week and missing a lot of stuff, sorry.
And thanks.

Yep, pleasantly surprised to see this sort of presence around here. Would also like to add that I was like "oh, wonderful..." when you came out on stage, but I thought you brought a lot of good energy to the conference so I've been keeping my eye on any dead crow roadkill I can find.

I don't have anything to ask, just wanted to say it's cool you're taking the time to do this.
OK, respeck knuckles for this.
Damn, Aisha!
Just want to say that you have made the past Ubisoft conferences very fun and enjoyable to watch. Your enthusiasm is contagious.

And it's also kind of funny to see you being all laid back and then having those poor developers next to you read awkwardly from the teleprompter. 
Have you met a person like Archer in real life? That would kill a person's essence.

Hi Aisha, enjoyed your performance the other day! It was nice to see presenters and guests actually having a lot of fun on stage, you don't often see it. Hope you're there next year!
What are your thoughts on misogyny in video games? Is it as prevalent as made out in recent years, does it ever bother you?

Mods, is there any way to highlight Aisha's posts? Maybe make her username Purple or something to make her stand out? Obviously I can CTRL+F, but this is more for the simpler user.
She hosted talk soup too

What's your opinion on women's representation (or lack thereof) in video games? Do you think it's important to always have gender choice, or do you think gender being set for the purpose of narrative can sometimes be more important.
What's your opinion of the lack of female presenters at e3, as has been noted by sites like Polygon? Do you think it's a symptom of publishers not trusting females with presentation or fearing it won't project the right image to their core audiences? Do you think it's a symptom of not enough women being in the industry or advancing to positions of power, via associated stigmas or ingrained sexism?

Aisha, could you do a few dancing steps next year when introducing Just Dance 2016?
Well this is cool.
- Are you more of a PC or console fan? Or both?
Guessing PC since you're a shooter fan, but curious all the same
- What's your favorite bit of E3 2014 so far, game related or otherwise?
- No real third question, just wanted to say thanks for doing this little AMA!
