Lisa's Favorite Other Things “What I love most about games is how involved and submerged I become in the stories.” - Lisa Foiles Internet sensation and hardcore gamer Lisa Foiles is the star of “Top 5 with Lisa Foiles” on The Escapist. In “Top Five,” Lisa wittily and humorously discusses parts of videogames that generally go unmentioned (but not unnoticed), such as the most ridiculous vehicles, craziest footwear, and sexiest eyewear. Her commentary is delivered in her signature style of informed gamer mixed with hysterical comedian. In addition to “Top Five with Lisa Foiles,” she is a regular contributor to Kotaku, MyIGN, the AngryJoeShow, runs her own gaming site, Save Point, and will star as a villain in The Escapist’s newest web series “Anthony Saves the World.” A Few FAST Top 5s with Lisa Foiles “ What are your Top 5 favorite games?

Portal BMXBZTIBWFBTPGUTQPUGPSStreet Fighterw Characters that Often Appear in Top Five Lisa tends to talk about Dante from Devil May Cry WAY too much, mostly because she has “a giant, 5th grade-girl crush on him.” Favorite Anime Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle, “because the story has so much heart and the voice acting is incredible.” Funniest Cosplay story While in the process of dying her hair blonde for her Harley Quinn costume from Batman: Arkham Asylum her hair went through an identity crisis. Harley Quinn was almost portrayed with bright pink pigtails. Then orange. Then slightly purple. But she finally got it corrected – now THAT’S commitment to a costume! Favorite Movies Casablanca, because she believes it’s the best screenplay ever written. Close seconds are The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Boondock Saints, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Lisa starred in Nickelodeon’s All That Seasons 7-10. She has also appeared on Leverage, Malcolm In The Middle, and Even Stevens. Lisa has been seen onstage in Cinderella, Little House on the Prairie Once On This Island and Wizard of Oz. She has won over 200 singing and dancing competitions. LISA’S FAVORITE OTHER THINGS STAR TREK OR STAR WARS: Star Wars: Original Trilogy! WEBCOMIC: Definitely Dinosaur Comics. COMEDIAN: Daniel Tosh. Tosh.0 is the best thing to ever happen to Internet fans. COLOR: In the words of Dwight Shrute, “Black. It is the most dominant.” FOOD: Pizza, specifically square pizza. I enjoy food in odd shapes. CATS OR DOGS: CATS! My cat (Samus) has already been in about three of my Top 5s-- she’s clearly on the road to Internet stardom..
