Morgan Webb Weighs In On Women In Gaming

The co-host of G4′s X-Play, Morgan Webb, didn’t get her television gig because of her good looks. Oh sure, it may have helped her get on camera, but at one point Webb was just a rank and file computer nerd doing research for TechTV. Then, one day, she was given a bit of spit-shine, thrust in front of the camera and television broadcasting history was made. She was then further groomed, given spreads in mens magazines like FHM and Maxim, ultimately giving G4 its most recognisable face.

MTV Multiplayer sat down with Webb, part of its week-long series of interviews with women in gaming, to ask the host of WebbAlert questions about her job, the influx of women in games, and the industry’s double standards. First thing you should know about Morgan, she doesn’t read her fan mail. She also avoids internet message boards. Why? Probably too many judgments on the sharpness of her knees from sexless trolls, I’m guessing.Morgan explains, in her own words, why she’s not a fan of reading reviews of herself from internet studs.
