For sure.......Whats the point of this stream.....?????.....
To promote swtor like they have been doing every other day.This time they tried a different tactic by using pokket as bate.Thing is,my girl looks better playing games and she dont even like them.Sorry pokket,your cute in a blue sort of way but i can think of better things to watch,perhaps you playing GW2 beta.
Personally, I don't get the point of all this hate. Let the girl be. If she's a serious gamer, the content will speak for itself. If she's not, these threads and her streams will eventually go away as people lose interest.
The simple fact that people get all pissy over her, and others defend her, just adds to the overall popularity of these segments, for the wrong reasons.
I just woke up, saw this on MMORPG.com frontpage and had to check it.. I, myself am completely neutral towards Pokket. I haven't enjoyed or really disliked her reviews, except for the horrible music sometimes, but I must ask this!
Does anyone else think that she looks just plain bored?

She's not bored she's just playin' it cool and hip like the image is supposed to portray. At least she's consuming energy drinks on camera to cope with the mind-numbingly boring gameplay of these warzones.

I think it's the game that she is actually playing that brings out the anger,seriously though, how much swtor face shoving are we expected to take.
It's every other day and now we have the same with Kindoms Of Amular being spread across the home page and it's not even an mmo.Oh wait,the excuse is the same company are planning an MMO or is it just EA cracking the whip.
Let's hope they give the same attention to The Witcher 2 on Xbox in Apri or Risen 2 in April which are both single player RPG.

Well, it is funnier to watch Angry Joe or Total Biscuit play, those guys jump up an down like the world is ending.
I wonder why this website needs to display her face allover every time. This thread is a great example. Of course we know that's why she does it, but every other author comes along with a cartoon avatar, like every other review, video, whatever comes along with a screenshot.
Everything pokket on this page is always her "game face". You don't see this elsewhere or coming from other authors on this page.
I say it again: let the content speak for itself, tone down her fishing for comments about her looks and her self portrayal.
The mods always have to moderate her threads in which people always tell that they love her or that she's annoying. There's always trouble in the comments which could be prevented if the constant presentation of her in person would get cut down a tone, with more emphasis on the actual content of her clips. Like 70% of the comments ends in an arguement about her in person.
Besides that these clips are average at best. I expect better from a page like this.
Also: in before "why not making a better clip yourself then?"..yeah, i got it.
Hmmm...look at her very nice features or listen to you whine about it....I think I'll take look at her features, Alex.
I really do not get what the attraction is here.....
So? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Now move along.
Ive seen her before , online. Cant remember where though.
She's been on Gamebreaker.TV before she started doing her live stream. As a guest on TWIMMO is where I saw her first. I just wish she would branch out a bit and do other games. SWTOR is just so...co op rpg.
Heh. I almost feel sorry for her, some people tearing her a new one for the audacity of playing TOR live and having an item on this site about it. Man, some people really behave like animals on internet -_-
Man, it is one thing to critique someone on playing a game if you have some good info that could help said person to improve their game, but a ton of you sick bastards just want to hate on the girl. I agree it takes some guts to put yourself out there for the public (esp. this community I use the term loosely) to have free reign to play arm chair quarterback. You know, at the end of the day she is a person, and unless you go around treating everyone else in your life like I have seen on 3/4 of the comments here, then just keep your hate to yourself.

Are you new to the Internet or something?
Anyways... I personally don't understand the appeal in her streams and the like being plastered all over this site. It honestly seems out of place and screams of being a shallow attempt by the site to drive up clicks using an attention seeking gamer girl.
Mainly my issue with it is that it lacks substance, purpose. It's not like it's a stream of someone who is actually very skilled and good at playing the game in a tournament. It's not a "first look" at gameplay that often happens when the NDA is lifted on beta. It's not even informative, humorous, or even entertaining... it's just some attention seeking gamer girl playing an MMO.
I mostly just ignore the posts on her stuff. I just find it odd that so much attention is given to her stuff on this site when she really doesn't really seem to contribute much substance. But hey, that's just my opinion.

What purpose does it need to serve? Many sites have live-streaming like this. People watch it (for whatever reason) I agree that i don't have any interest in doing so. When I clicked the link what really caught my eye was the chat, I really did face palm and leave the page.. well.. after taking a second to chuckle of course.
"attention seeking gamer girl playing an MMO." To me this looks like some form of inner agression projecting toward those who enjoy doing this type of thing (having a public face). Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a person display this. Jealousy usually plays a part in this form of "opinion".

Inner aggression, jelousy?
Erm... I just find attention seekers annoying. Just like Paris Hilton, the Kardashian's, and any of the cast of Jersey shore. They are people who have done nothing noteworthy, yet are famous simply because they're attention seekers. I just find it nonsensical that such people are even paid any attention.
Honestly I don't have any issue with people doing live casts, I jsut don't understand why it's a featured on MMORPG.

Gamer girl does live stream. Lots of forever alone male gamers watch it. MMORPG porfits from ads.
Plus they needed a reason to plug SWTOR. This site seems to have a new SWTOR article every day.
Exactly my point.
It's only on this site because it's a sleezy marketing attempt. All of the other features content on this site otherwise offers information or discussion regarding MMORPGs. These things have substance and fit with the overall purpose of the website. Using some random "Internet wannabe famous" gamer girl's blogs and live streams as featured articles just drag down the otherwise (moreso) professional tone of the web-site's content that comes from the official staff of MMORPG.com.

We?re all dead, just say it.

lol this
I could barely hear her talking to be honest.....The mic was too close to her mouth, and all i heard was mouth breathing...
AND A CRAP LOAD OF SIGHING.....It seemed like she sighed every 30 secs..no lie.....
And the other guy? CANDYCORN? Ive never ever heard a grown man mumble more then him. And wth is up with a grown man using Candycorn as a name?
Whatever happened to the IN BIOWARE WE TRUST signatures?
Thanks for letting me know how this went hahaha
So? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Now move along.
She's been on Gamebreaker.TV before she started doing her live stream. As a guest on TWIMMO is where I saw her first. I just wish she would branch out a bit and do other games. SWTOR is just so...co op rpg.
They have to do something because Bioware has no idea how to patch or manage player base.. another patch tonight and another FAIL!!

Sorry for the ignorance, but who is pokket? Regular forum user who became famous for streaming or a staff member of the stie?
