Like seriously, I don't remember hearing anything about why she hasn't uploaded anything. So does anyone know what's going on?

She made some pretty damning implications during the Great Extra Credits Debacle. I think she left the Escapist for similar reasons.

Like the first reply said, during the time after Extra Credits left, her and quite a few other contributors also claimed they were in a similar situation (if you're not familiar with it, basically the escapist didnt pay EC and allegedly alot of other people for anything up to 12 months)

She went through an interdimensional rift to fight demon ninjas. Wait no, I could be making that up.

I'm not sure why she left but I would have to guess that she doesn't want to do videos (with the escapist at least) anymore.

Gone, me thinks.

I didn't really care too much about her show, though. There were only a handful of valid points that I thought she made; the rest of it was "GURRLLL GAAMURRR!".
This. Honestly, I thought she was gone because the show was rather bleh and people stopped watching it, and thus it had been canceled.

I'm not sure the exact reasons, and I don't think Lisa can even tell us, for legal reasons. But I think it was related to the whole debacle that happened when Extra Credits left. It seems that many of the shows we all enjoyed were not being properly paid for. I just know I miss her silly videos.

She probably went because of the EC problem, or because she was facing similar problems with the escapist.

But it's so baffling the way she did it, she never seemed to mention anything. Even on her blog, and twitter etc, nothing was mentioned about the leave. She just disappeared from the internet completely.

I miss her incredibly attractive chest.

Sorry, this is off topic, but is that a suicide mouse avatar?

Yeah. I couldn't find the one I wanted, though...

She had already reported similar problems by the time EC left.

I never did watch Suicide Mouse. I read the story, but didn't see the video. What happens in it?

Wondering where she went. Also I know D & A went on hiatus long before the EC debaucle, but wondering if maybe that's why they haven't come back yet either..anyone know? That was my favourite show on the escapist....

I googled it (you didn't spell her name right though!)

http://www.loadsavepoint.com/2011/06/imma-be-straight-wit-you-girl-truth-about-%E2%80%9Ctop-5-with-lisa-foiles%E2%80%9D/#more-492

If you don't want to trust stranger danger's link, the important part is this:

"I didn?t want to stop making Top 5s, but neither did The Escapist. It?s? complicated. There are some behind-the-scenes issues with the show being produced currently, and I can assure you it?s not my fault. I loved bringing you my show every week. It wasn?t canceled, I?m not being lazy, and no, I didn?t die, despite all the creative rumors about my death (that mostly I started)."

and...

"Do I have good news? Yes!

Top 5 is not entirely dead. I have no plans on killing that idea. It will be revived and it will be better than ever ? I?m not sure in what capacity, but it will happen. (And we?ll have a big re-launch party with lots of drinking!)"

I found this site through Wikipedia, so I'm not sure what the site is or why she is on it.

EDIT: She authored multiple posts so I'm going out on a limb here and assuming that this is a site that she either owns or is a columnist or similar position for the site.

<spoiler=Spoilered for being completely off topic and creepy>Mickey walks along a badly drawn street for two or three minutes to post-modern piano. Everything goes black for a few minutes, then it comes back on, but the sound is now a weird wail-groan thing. After a few seconds, it turns into agonized screaming and starts getting louder. Then Mickey's face falls off (...). After another half-minute, the entire background just gives up and dies, blurring together (it looks a bit like a sewer pipe, actually). The screaming gets a bit more terrifying, then the original background comes back, and then someone basically goes all Windows Movie Maker on it (sway effects, banner effects, etc. Kind of a nightmare retardant, really). Then, after another minute, it goes back to "normal" music (purely technically) and we watch this thing gasp and cry for a half minute:

Then Russian words pop up.

Then a guy in a bathrobe walks into a pitch black room towards the camera.

I wanted a gif of the wheezing faceless mouse, buy I couldn't get one. ;_;
