I seem to find it a rant on how she has a show only because she is attractive?
Kinda silly considering EVERY SHOW EVER is the same.
Well, not really. Consider that I don't think anyone in the "Loading Ready Run" crew would be considered paticularly attractive in a conventional sense, at least not to the same degree as Lisa, and LRR seems to have most consistantly produced successful content for The Escapist, as well as running their own site. Then of course we've got Yahtzee.
I was extremely critical of Lisa to begin with, however I think her show's quality has improved since the addition of intro and outro clips, and a bit less of a focus on current games. I also think she managed to earn some nerd-cred by showing off her Cosplaying and so on, which makes it apparent that she at least goes to cons and is a part of the community. I'm still unsure as to how much of the writing she does herself however.
I won't say that Lisa's show is by any means my favorite, but it has made me chuckle, and I think she actually deserves some credit. As far as I'm concerned she managed to catch herself with a safety net, back in the beginning I would have agreed with that guy's Youtube rant, nowadays not so much.
I think she's definatly a step up from "I Hit It With My Axe", where in my few attempts to watch it I ironically thought that Satine was the only one who seemed to really fit in with the community it was aimed at. At least from the vibe I was getting.
I doubt Lisa's show will ever be one of my absolute favorites on "The Escapist" but it's fairly solid, and could get a lot better as I feel it's improved signifigantly since launch.
