Honestly getting a girl to even play a game for 5 minutes is automatically marriage material for most guys hehe.

the guild is a good show imo. plus i enjoyed here when she guest starred on Dollhouse and Supernatural.
I remember when munn joined Attack of the Show. used to watch it regular when she was on it.

Oh c'mon... obvious attempt at publicity/notoriety for the "journalist".

I really should do something about this signature.

I'll just say that this is somewhat at-odds with the impression she made at Origins.

And lets not even talk about her live gaming adventure to up her popularity where she got pwnt in pvp zones, and in plenty instances. I'll give her credit for attempting to game but when celebrities jump on a server and the Devs/Mods stack your character out then send you on your way without the knowledge of how to use said powers....
It was a failtastrophe so epic even the GenMods game on to apologize for the team wipe she caused.
Do a little WoW forum searching from that day, and if the Mods haven't locked out all the threads entirely just read up on a little of what her fame got her. Rumor is she left the keyboard in tears due to the ridicule she faced afterwards, just like she walked out of Blizzcon after being trolled.
Love,

Bear in mind, Lullipop, no one is actually deciding if she's actually any good at the games, the debate is about whether she actually plays them enough.
I've been playing this game over 7 years, I still screw up on teams and cause team wipes.
No one said she has to be uber
And for the record, I don't believe a word of it until I see some linked proof 
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
I think there would have been a few threrads and news stories on geek sites about it by now - "Feleicia Day is a Fraud" would certianly be of interest to the geekosphere - especially as she has apparently admitted that she hates gaming several times at various cons - although her sinister PR machine seems to have pressured Google into deleating any reference to it.

Finding facts is hard when they don't exist - and not everyone is comfortbale with just making them up instead.

Or you could actually support your position with said links in question rather than inviting people to do your work for you.

I'm not one who tends to diminish the potential ignorance and stupidity behind other people's actions/words.
Sadly, in a business that is (sadly) all about grabbing attention, it seems most likely. Fact is, anything and everything posted is an attempt to grab attention. And, unfortunately, the negative (and, often times, the most ridiculously cases of negativity) tend to get the most attention... As can be observed on these (and most any) internet forums... Never mind "news outlets" and the like.
With such a move, this guy may have gotten his name on radars that he never would have otherwise (you know... without writing something interesting and using thought and skill to garner attention/publicity/success).

I am beginning to think he is confusing Olivia Munn with Felicia Day. I could believe the stuff he said if it was about Olivia.

This hate is also more amusing (bemusing?) because Luli ends these statements with "love."

Now that gaming is "cool", when actors or rappers go on about how huge gamers they are for playing Halo a couple of times or having run a raid in WoW, I can understand real geeks and gamers who who cringe at that. Like I said before, most are as legitimate as Vanilla Ice's street cred. |
Ok, there was that one class I almost failed because I was playing Ultima IV and didn't show up for a test, but I wouldn't call that socially inept. But I wasn't a social outcast, and my geek resume would fill a book.
