To be perfectly honest Lisa Foiles is the last image the video game industry needs if it ever wants to be taken seriously. Also isn't this the first week it's been absent? First week I noticed.
I'm new here. I found the site when following a link to an Extra Credits webisode. Then I watched a bunch of Zero Punctuation. (Both are great series for very different reasons.)
So what to watch next? I admit, I saw the top 5 banner to the side with the picture of a cute blonde so I watched a few episodes. I'd agree with your comment if she had no clue about gaming and was just put into the role to bring in more viewers. But it seems like she honestly likes gaming so I can't understand why she's bad for the industry. If anything its GOOD for the industry to hear from women that enjoy gaming.
I didn't find the webisodes that I watched "stupid" (as other posters have commented). I didn't laugh out loud during the webisodes I watched, but some of her jokes made me smile. Good enough for me. I'll honestly keep returing to the Escapist for Extra Credits and Zero Punctuation first, but I won't mind watching more of her top 5 lists.
