I hope she'll be back soon. I actually play a lot of games referred to by her.

Why exactly? She's an avid, good-looking female gamer. Do we really want to keep the all-(smelly-)boys cliché intact?

I personally don't understand the hate of lists, there is a lot of media to slug through out there so why cant we put things in order. So she doesnt add much to the overall conversation of video games as an artistic medium, it is just as important to look back as it is to look forward I say. I can't wait for her show to come back and I hope we can get some more female voice on the site. And yes, we should embrace her cuteness and try to repress sexuality less as a culture and accept that woman are hot and they use this to control men who are susceptible.

I enjoy her show, it's light and fun. It doesn't pretend to be like the Big Picture or Extra Credits, so I don't think its fair to criticise it for not being like them.

I know right? I sincerely hope she's coming back. I need my fix of cheap girlish humour!

Same here man! Ive found that I like her humor, her presentation style, her genuine knowledge of and interest regarding videogames and her two friends that she occasionally features in the episodes. Those 4 points ontop of the fact that she's very easy on the eyes.

A hiatus is my guess.

I know this is an "off-topic question," But did anyone here even know about Lisa before she started doing a show here? She was on some Nickelodeon cartoons. 'Cause I can remember her from some shows like All That, I think she was in season 7.

I do like her show, it's funny in an absurd way, I'd rather have her than, "the new guy..."

Yeah, gonna go with "hope it's gone for good." She really isn't that funny (9/10 times it comes off as EXTREMELY forced), and the show really doesnt have enough of a hook to it. Why do I care what some random chick thinks are the top 5 of anything, unless they're a super-credible source? Or at least, you know, have charisma?

Lisa's just a pretty face, as far as I can tell.

she's fun, funny (depends on u), and it's light
good stuff. i tend to feel that if you disagree...ah well this is just her talking
entertaining enough, and she's not just eye candy too :]

hope she's still around!

SERIOUSLY! wtf Happened to Her? Because This Has Been Throwing My Past 2 Weeks Out Of Whack Because On Tuesday I Watch The Big Picture and Top 5 , Then On Wensday I Watch ZP . Thursdays Extra Credits And on saturday/sunday (i forget) i watch Escape To The Movies...
Just read Critical Miss and Stolen Pixels? They come out on Tuesdays and are generally funny. To be honest I thought Lisa would have to swap to once every two weeks anyway there's only so much video game stuff you can top 5.

There is a certain self-awareness to the "stupidity" in the show that is really funny. Watch the redhead episode if you don't understand. Plus the production value is pretty damn good. At the very least the girl knows how to white balance, which is more than I can say for the new dude.

It's one of the only list shows I enjoy (The only other I can think of is any list made by James Rolfe. Love that guy.).

The lists are just a device to discuss the topics and make jokes, not meant to be taken seriously. The jokes are mostly funny, there is a good amount of gaming knowledge displayed, and she is pretty darn cute. I look forward to seeing her new stuff.

I think their point was that attractive women have no place in society and should stay in the kitchen like god intended.

Because unless that's their point, I'd be hard pressed to watch her skits and be able to justify the "she's ruining the gaming industries cred".

The girl is a nerd who likes games and talks about games. oh jesus christ she blew a kiss at me shut down everything.

I thought she'd suck, I watched them and was pleasantly surprised. Ended up watching all of them and actually have been introduced to some games I'd have not otherwise have ever heard of because of them.

When I first saw her I thought "she looks familiar" and so I looked her up and found out she was on All That. I rarely watched that show, but I totally recognized her.

I didn't know her name before her show here.. But once she talked a bit, I began to remember her stuff on Nickelodian. She wasn't that bad for a child actress.

But hey *shrugs* she's entertaining and hot.. What more can a guy ask for?

I'd rather have Lisa than the new guy. At least there is style and production value to her videos rather than another nerd with a tie and a mike screaming at us against a poorly lit wall. She's cute, but I don't see her using her feminine wiles to really bring in views. She doesn't dress slutty at all.
