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.
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.
Yeah. That happened to me, I did watch it occasionaly, and I recall her site saying something about her having a role.

Personally, I like her show. Not all the time, but she has a lot of entertainment value.

Jimquisition...not liking. But hey, it's a show.

That show was so cheap,sexually promoted and boring content, I mean I think there was an episode about top 5 characters with best hair? What kind of ridiculousness is that! Two words, sex sells.

I could care less if she's already done. Oh no, where ever will I go to see another opinionated "top 5" (or 10) show on the internetz?
This is specially dedicated to you, dear sir.
Unless, of course, you have somewhere else to go for "opinionated shows on the internetz".

OT: I'm guessing she's on hiatus. I HOPE she's on hiatus. She's one of the more light hearted shows on here that I watch. Sure, she's not someone you go to for credible information, but she's good for light-hearted humour and a few cheap laughs. That's the point of videos like these, right? To entertain?
Anywho, I prefer her standing in front of a camera over the..."new guy".

There is nothing wrong with some light hearted fun like Unskippable and LRR, I mean how many serious stuff do we need, we have MovieBob, Extra Credits, Yahtzee, Extra Consideration, the new podcast.

I liked her, a nice distraction and a good way to pass some time on Tuesdays.

To be perfectly honest Lisa Foiles is the last image the video game industry needs if it ever wants to be taken seriously.
Why exactly? She's an avid, good-looking female gamer. Do we really want to keep the all-(smelly-)boys cliché intact?
Yes an avid good looking female gamer who acts like she barely has 2 working brain cells to knock together.

Jesus Christ, I had no idea that comment would garner so much attention. You're like the 8th person whose quoted me on it. I only said that in reference to an earlier episode of Extra Credits where they talked about the industry getting the same level of respect as the film industry etc.

She's got her low moments, but that's only when she plays the part of a silly girl. I have no doubt in my mind she's a very intelligent and thoughtful gal IRL. I think her best episodes are the ones when she justifies her choices more and doesn't play that strange personality as much.

Plus, her geek outs and idiosyncrasies are just adorable ;)

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.
I do Read Critical Miss But Not Really A huge Fan Of Stolen pixel's .... o.o

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.

Maybe it's just me then because I hate the whole 'dumb blond' routine. (I know she dyed her hair red, be she still does acts like a dumb blond).

Creature Caster Masters has already been struggling. It feels like way more then two weeks plus their series already set out a 'Blooper' episode. Not a good sign for them. As for Lisa- I am not sure, but it does suck that we did not get to see a new episode with her since she's awesome. Let's just hope for the best is all.

The worst part.. no offense- is that new series called "Jimquisition". Everyone dislikes the new series brought on here because the dude seriously just stands there, talking harshly on a mic at us, and cusses non stop with the f word. Just bad taste for me honestly. Besides, Movie Bob and Yahtzee are the best at what he's trying to do and they give good humor about it with positive flowing entertainment before our eyes. With him... just saw him talking. Couldn't stand it.
creature caster master was very funny the first episode, but it seems like a bit of a a 1 trick pony. after that first one, theres not much left for joke material
You say that but look at Unforgotten realms it was quite funny and quite long.
