Accidental Brilliance on Destructoid
dronkmunk \| 10:28 AM on 04.18.2008	39 comments

We don't see enough of Leigh Alexander around here anymore. Doesn't she still work here? In addition to being gorgeous and intelligent, she is a GTA head like myself and a very large reason for my joining Destructoid about a year ago.

The main reason for this being the fact that the incomparable Ms. Alexander wrote not just one but two, TWO, amazing pieces on the GTA series that go beyond the usual "It's fun to run-and-gun" analysis and she sort of pinpointed exactly what makes the series great. Anyone one who can see the beauty that she is able to see in Grand Theft Auto with such ease is a women after my own heart. I still haven't found anything on Destructoid to match the masterful quality of the following pieces. Baby, come back to me.

Check these out:

-D-

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder.

dronkmunk

JACK of No Trades

She works for Kotaku now.

weedgan

JACK of No Trades

Here is a recent article from her.

I would argue her brilliance was accidental when it cames to the writing of those articles. She's a smart girl, she meant to do it.

dronkmunk

Yes, but anything intelligent posted on Destructoid is usually an accident.

BlindsideDork

wow...balls

atheistium

eww Kotaku.

A Humble Mr Perfect

wow, how sticky is your keyboard after that wankfest?

JACK of No Trades

"Yes, but anything intelligent posted on Destructoid is usually an accident."

aborto thefetus

Also dronkmunk, are you asking for people to get angry at you?

Mr Wilson

I actually had some respect for you and your constant GTA updates but now...I hope you end up like hanging from cock guy up there...

dronkmunk

@Samit:
Not at all.

@Aborto
People, no. Robots, maybe.

Char Aznable

Is that fucking real? God damn, Stretch Armstrong...

At least he's keeping well-ventilated with the fan in the background.

AngelsDontBurn

I had no idea she works for Kotaku now.

ArrestedDeveloper

I don't mind editors leaving but I hate when they slink off without a goodbye.

brosef

I was wondering where she went...

@ArrestedDeveloper
I was thinking the same thing.

@TheBez
Fascinating how he can keep the same expression, and exact same angle of pose.

Tubatic

"(image removed)" Thanks!

Also, yes, that was a great series by Leigh. I definitely had cool moments like that too, where all these detailed things come together to create this unique experience.

Since I'm likely to not have the hardware to run GTAIV, I'm thinking about picking up the Stories games, just for some fresh GTA experiences.

Etelmik

To all of those who are expressing surprise, if you followed SVGL, you'd have known this. She's been gone from Destructoid for months. In fact, she's not even at Gamasutra anymore.

MuRRaY

she has a fantastic style of writing that seems to have gotten her quite a bit of acclaim. definitely something that I haven't seen before and enjoyable to read :-D
