    You raised some good points Pokket.

    I got a chance to see your Smuggler gameplay livestream and am gladdened to see you got the hang of the cover and ranged mechanics.

     

    Nice work.

    And really, it's a video about an upcoming and much anticipated game in a site that people regularly visit, why shouldn't they at least check it out, are you kidding?

    And how do you know people didn't defend him?  and no one is stoping anyone from checking the video. Watch it and comment on content of video instead of geting nasty with person presenting it. Simple.

    Touchy? Are you in Love with Pokket or something?

    Anyways, the point is that this is a review, and the Messenger is as important as the Message...this is not politics.

    I do not mind Pokket's style, meaning I do not dislike or like it, but that is maybe because I am not part of the target audiance of that particular style which I feel is more around Teenager segment.

    Nevertheless,  one person's liberties stop where another person's liberties start, that is how it is in the end.

    While Pokket has the right to addopt the style she wishes, other people also have the right to express their liking or not of it.

    Overall nice review.

    Cheers!

    Have to disagree there, all the girl gamers ive come across are nothing like that....

    Some people outside the gaming community easily stereotype males the same way, as 'fat nerds'

    I agree. Besides, it is not the fault of that girl in this picture if she is obese, you do not know if she is suffering from some kind of syndrome or if this is the result of all the steroids, hormones and Industrial additives our foods have today anyways.

    She may actually be very warmhearted and descent personality too. Cannot judge a person just by their looks, that makes you a very superficial and shallow kind of person yourself.

    Cheers!

    Far too attractive?  I think she looks good, but you're talking like you've never been outside of the home.

    So what's the deal here? You guys whining she needs to be ugly to make previews? If you put aside pokket's looks and focus and the content, what's there to not like? It's as good preview as any other. Besides, if you plan on being in media, it helps to be easy on the eyes and have a unique style.

    Can't believe someone still has some issues with girl gamers. You just probably mad cos Pokket owned you on the Warzone.

    Anyways, I liked the video but she really needs to wish a better microphone from Santa.

    Although I agree she is easy on the eyes and that never is bad when going into media, she really needs to work on her speech.  I mean I'm not trying to be too critical, its not like her video blogs are being viewed on network TV.  But the way she conveys her message needs a lot of work.  But overall she's doing alright, just needs practice.

    Yes i am very touchy whenever people hide behind the anonymity of internet and act like jerks. Sitting silently and not reacting is as bad as person who is sayign nasty stuff. Expressing your likes and dislikes is not same as calling  names. You are a little late by the way since most of the derogatory comments have been removed. Even liberty and freedom to speech has some boundaries for a reason.

    LMFAO so true.image

    The following statement is false
    The previous statement is true

    The content seems OK, even if she's trying a little too hard to sound like an experienced gaming journalist... the incessant audio popping and the short-tape loop background music make it so I can't get through it with the volume on though.

    This, being the first review video by this critic I've seen, I found informative and interesting, on a base "when I was 13" level infatuated with whatever a girl gamer had to say. In a modern sense, tho,  she might watch more of Candace Bailey for a more laid-back, matter-of-fact presentation, more believable and palatable to where today's gamer's demographics lie. Certainly, if Pokket is truly interested in gaming content, and with more practice, she should have a future in this industry.

    I will have to disagree with Pokket on the story line for the SI. I have found it really easy to get into. I wanted to kill Harken from the first time I meet him. You get the feeling that Zash is just using you from the very beginning, and that feeling just grows as the story unfolds.   

    Now for the dark side options. Most of the time I go with the dark side options, and let me tell you, I love the total badass attitude that the SI has. If you are going to play an SI, then you need to go dark side. It really adds to the overall feel to the story and to your character. I do not know how far you got with your character Pokket, but the story gets better as you go. 

    I have been playing the Assassin and loving it. I have also played a BH, IA, and JK. The BH and IA(Sniper) are just sick!!!!!
