Aisha Tyler hits back at internet trolls concerning her Ubisoft hosting gig
Did you see Aisha Tyler host Ubisoft's E3 2012 press conference? I thought she did a fine job, but not surprisingly, a large portion of the internet decided to lambaste her job. Tyler has released a statement to back up her position as a true gamer, and also to fire back at internet trolls everywhere.
"I've played since I was a little kid. Since I begged my dad to buy me a Nintendo LCD Donkey Kong, Jr. Since I blew through three weeks' allowance playing Defender at the laundromat. Since you were a twinge in the left side of your daddy's underoos.
I was a voice in not one, but two major video game titles. I hosted the [Halo] Reach Beta tutorial. I was a Gears of War superfan panelist at ComicCon. I hosted the Ubisoft presser at E3 2012.
I didn't do any of it for the money. For most I got paid next to nothing, and for some, less than that. I did it because I love video games.
To the GAF dicks, Gamespot trolls, to every illiterate racist douchebag on Youtube: flame away. Go nuts. Post every jackass comment your heart desires. I'll still be playing when your mom's kicked you out of her basement and you have to sell your old-ass console and get a real job. For now, I say to you respectfully, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, GFYS."
