Olivia Munn, not a real gamer.

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:03 am

This is why you should trust no one from G4. I got a good laugh out of this, makes me happy i didn't bother watching the VGA's.

This is also why Neil Patrick Harris is my new hero.

Neil Patrick Harris is a legend. I actually just watched Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay last night. He was hilarious in it.

Why would you trust no one from G4? What did she have to do with video games there?

I don't get it, she said "I was red ringing xbox 360s, watching every godamn minute of Metal Gear Solid 4 and...".
Not, "I was red ringing xbox 360s watching every godamn minute of Metal Gear Solid 4 and...".

You don't know Barney Stinson? o.O

I don't really get what this thread is all about though, so you'll have to point it out in a painfully obvious way :P

Should we?

Girl gamers are a myth, therefore people are trying to find proof that this girl isn't a "real" gamer. Thus, they misinterpreted the way she was listing things she'd done.

Of course, it's also entirely reasonable to assume she's probably just an aspiring presenter who took the first job she could get.

But she's also an unprofessional ditz who asked a game developer about his genitals while doing coverage on the new Twisted Metal at the last E3. That David Jaffe interview is around there somewhere. She's generally an unpleasant person, there's another good one of her throwing a hissy fit when a fan talks back to her for insulting him and she takes away the prize he just won and storms off.

Of course I knew that , G4 only took her as a host because she was hot [censored] , hell I remember the girl before her who was on attack of the show and she knew her stuff . But G4 has built their own dang grave let them sleep in it......re-runs of cops what great programming.

Morgan?

Yeah, I stopped watching X-play a long time ago (5 years ago). I just read G4's The Feed for gaming news and rumors. Over the past few years it has gotten a lot of clutter of articles that don't interest me, but it's easy to scroll past them and find what I want to read about - like with newspapers.

AoTS is... well, it doesn't have much to do with gaming. It never really interested me that much, but the juvenile and puerile stunts were/are just such a turn-off.

It just seems like she was listing a bunch of things, and was most likely scripted to say the things she said so I really don't get this.....

Atleast Cops is the lesser of evils on that network, Cheaters, now who the hell even watched that crap when it was new? But yeah, I remember the days when you could have your TV on G4 for hours at a time, and not vomit. Good thing DirecTV got smart and got rid of the channel.

I find presenters who wave their "gaming credentials" like a flag to be hilarious in general. :laugh:

Never heard of her. I can see two reasons why people like her though...

My whole world is falling apart. Munn, how could you?!

It seems pretty clear that there was a short break in that sentence though, Metal Gear Solid 4 was completely unrelated to the RRoD 360 bit. Plus, NPH wasn't much better at those VGAs. :meh:

Erm, I don't get it. She used red ring as a verb, and I don't know what she meant about MGS4.

What is this thread about, why is it even newsworthy? What's happening? Aaaaaa!

Before working at G4 she was 100% Uninterested in Games & Tech. She said g4 got her into games.

I don't think she meant that it was on Xbox. She said "Red Ringing Xbox" and "Watching every minute of MGS4" if you listen she is still trailing off on other things. So she is not using and, kinda like "Red ringing xbox's, Watching Every Minute of MGS4,and also in a bikini..." listen with your ears man! she is listing what she has done.

I think in her own way she was raging at the 360 and it breaking every 2 seconds. Slight exaggeration I know. It only breaks every 2 months in reality. ;) Then there was a pause and she started on the next game. I think you guys are trying just a little TOO hard to bring her down, and why do you care? What if her being in the industry means she starts to like them later on down the line and a new gamer joins the fold? My point is people need to calm down.

If you're actually not being ironic: yes. He's a character from How I Met Your Mother, and a big internet meme because he is a childish man[censored] who uses the word 'awesome' all the time, in other words who every person on 4-chan wish they were.

Girl gamers are a myth, therefore people are trying to find proof that this girl isn't a "real" gamer. Thus, they misinterpreted the way she was listing things she'd done.


Yeah, I figured, just couldn't see how they interpreted what she said. Still can't tbh.

As for this chick, I've seen her on those rather infantile 'hottest gamer chick" polls, but haven't seen any of her shows. Still, judging only by those 10 seconds of video I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that she's weird and annoying. I don't even find her all that attractive either tbh, can't say I see what all the fuzz is about.

Of course, it's also entirely reasonable to assume she's probably just an aspiring presenter who took the first job she could get.


I'm gonna go out on a limb yet again and say that you're probably right.
