What a soap opera this has become.
We will all soon turn out to be siblings and/or pregnant with both parents unknown!
Our relationships will break and be rekindled a thousand times!

Possibly. But I'm unwilling to trash a person for lack of self-respectFarbautisonn wrote...

I don't know her personally, so I would like to believe she still respects her intelligence above all else.Farbautisonn wrote...
-Based upon her writing and her grooming of the image as the "pin-up girl for nerds" she seems to go for, Id say she would be unable to see why that would be insulting.
-Again... considering the choise of words and the "shotgun meet foot" blog, Id say that is a somewhat vain hope. Especialaly when you check out the rest of her blog. /cringe.

Point is that people who say their burning hatred is because of her VO performance are liars, since they don't pay attention to the even worse performances from others. It's just because "it's Chobot". And we're meant to hate Chobot for some reason, despite me never hearing about her before, knowing who she is, or caring for one second.Darth Malice113 wrote...

Um, no. Sirtis wasn't awful in a hammy sort of way. Sirtis was awful in that she somehow managed, despite being an established "actress" to deliver almost every line with even more woodenness than Chobot managed.
That's far more unforgivable than some non-actress cameo who's not part of the main story, I think. She couldn't even be bothered to put in a proper acting performance. Yet where's the hate?
Fine, neither were good. Happy?
Of course not!
We must figure out wich performance sucked the most!
One of the more pressing issues of our time.
Just sayin'.
Chobot is the whole package though:
-bad VA
-IGN employee
-oddly-shaped face (at least in the game)

No no no, you don't get it. She's hot, and she uses it within her job, and that makes her a **** without any integrity. Like cheerleaders. I'm sure everyone who thinks that hates cheerleaders too.Dude_in_the_Room wrote...

In her apology, or maybe in one of her comments following it, she admited her performance was strictly amatuer hour stuff..slimgrin wrote...
One thing she can't get snippy about is how poor her VO's were. That has nothing to do with the endings, art, or entitlement.

-First of all. She might be hot to some, but I have other preferances. But her job is to be a "gaming journalist / Blogger". And her command of the english language is tenfold worse than some of the ESL boardmembers we have here. Just look at her blog ffs.The Razman wrote...

If she can make a living licking PSP's and being the gamers centerfold, thats grand. Just dont pretend its more than it is.

Agreed. Even if it was forced as suggested by some of the previous posters which I doubt based on previous statements by IGN, it really is better than what the others have done so far despite her questionable involvement with the game.Plasma Prestige wrote...
I accept her apology, and can understand where she comes from. She took a step that no one else who insulted the Retake movement has yet taken: apologizing.
She's taken a step in the right direction, and people decide to bash her for it?
Even if it wasn't genuine, she still made an official apology.
Bashing her in spite of it only affirms her original statement. Why not prove that her original statement was wrong?(same goes for the others who jumped on that bandwagon)
She currently holds the upper hand 'cos of it, and the incredible amount of insults in this thread only confirm that.
Introduce any outsider to this situation and that outsider will pick Chobot hands down the way things are going.
Yeah, she really shouldn't have made the original statement before finishing the game, same goes for all the other reviewers.
No matter what your opinion may be of her, she has taken a progressive stance towards this situation and 'cos of it I'm actually interested in hearing her review of the full game.
As for the PSP-licking & the other attempt-at-sexiness she's pulled. Well it is pretty stupid especially in order to promote herself, but assuming we all have lives here I'm sure more than a few of us have pulled some idiotic stuff from time to time sans the spotlight. I know I have. (still trying to block it out!
Anyways she's currently looking to win this round, are you gonna let her win it or are you gonna tie it up and let it go to another round?

For a bunch of people that claim to not care about her or what she thinks you have spent a lot of time bickering about her.
shes an extremely liberated and beautiful girl who plays games.
and those here attacking her spend 3 hours a day wiping sweaty green putty from massive folds of flab every morning.
and wipe thier arses with a sponge on a stick and rarely see the inside of a shower.
its an envy thing
I don't envy the position of shaking one's ass in front of a man to get a job at IGN or some attention in ME3. You think that's liberating? Heaven help you...

Okay, I see what you're saying about her t!ts. I admit that. Still, I would take Benezia over Allers. However, working for a site that gave ME3 a perfect review is a conflict of interest.

You should see the analogies they come up with in the ending arguments. I've seen liking the endings being compared to necrophilia.
