About
Save Point was created by Lisa Foiles in Feb 2009 in order to provide herself with an outlet for expressing her amazingly awesome and never wrong opinions about video games and nerd culture. Hopefully the writing here at Save Point, involving sarcasm and the occasional real or made-up profanity, doesn't offend you. However, if it does offend you, Lisa might not completely care, and this lack of caring may be offensive to you.
About Lisa
Lisa is a recovering Nickelodeon child star and a convicted jaywalker. She has an unhealthy obsession with video games, Star Wars trivia, and Queen cover bands. Also, she is a columnist for Kotaku and has her own show on The Escapist called Top 5 with Lisa Foiles. It's pretty sweet, I guess.
Occasionally Lisa's stupid friends will post on here, but be aware that their posts will be far inferior to Lisa's posts.

GRATUITOUS COMPLIMENT.

Of all the stupid friends, I am the most stupid. TRUFAX.
May 8th, 2011 - 20:56
FALSE. That would be Drew. Don’t tell him I said that. The Internet isn’t public, right?
May 3rd, 2011 - 18:00
Stuart, you may be stupid but i’d still buy you a beer. A big fuck off massive beer!
May 19th, 2011 - 22:57
Umm…thank you? Ah well, a beer’s a beer.

Loving your material, keep it coming. :D
May 11th, 2011 - 19:04
I like your work and hope to see more of it on the Escapist. This is my first time posting on anything ever so if I am doing it poorly I apologize.
May 11th, 2011 - 19:09
Your comment posting performance was phenomenal. Thanks for stopping by!! Come back often and comment more! :)
May 11th, 2011 - 19:42
When I first noticed the banner for “top 5 robots” on the escapist, I thought the blonde on the left was some kind of creepy animatronic real doll. Despite that, I’ve been thoroughly entertained by your videos, so, er, keep up the good work.
May 11th, 2011 - 23:59
How do you know I’m not *actually* a doll? YOU DON’T KNOW ME! *slams door*
May 12th, 2011 - 13:29
As far as I’m aware, science won’t have the technology to give robot dolls door-slamming, womanly tantrums until at least 2017.
June 1st, 2011 - 11:23
Word up James. That’s my litmus test to see if any of the women in my life are robot dolls. So far…all of them have displayed amazing door-slamming, womanly tantrum skills.
May 11th, 2011 - 20:03
If you think my posting to have been under careful consideration phenomenal then I must undoubtedly post more. What does one who posts say? Should I comment of your excellence or awe inspiring talented performance? Should I make jokes about video games or like interested affairs? Should I vomit up the story of who I perceive I am? Should I try to strike up a conversation? I’m at a loss of what to say and do. However I will say this after posting for my first time my hands are now trembling in fear. What if I am not well received and no one likes me? Nevertheless if ill will grows into malice how do I defend my self from those who come at me with sword and fire?
May 11th, 2011 - 23:59
Definitely all of the above. For realsies. If people come at you, use your Deflect Spell with +5 Sarcasm.

Anymore top 5′s on the go? great to see more content being added to the website, the more gaming websites to keep me distracted from Uni work the better. Greetings from the UK
May 13th, 2011 - 21:00
Roll 1d20 for new top 5?
May 15th, 2011 - 07:35
Hey Lisa, I heard they’re looking to add a female touch over at Screwattack.com, a few people suggested you. Why not contact them?
May 15th, 2011 - 17:35
Because God help me I don’t want to move to Texas.
May 16th, 2011 - 01:41
Ahh, I see! Too bad, I think it could’ve been a good fit. Either way, as long as we get some cool videos from you, I’m happy!
May 18th, 2011 - 17:45
call me stupid. but i honstly don’t remeber you on all that…..>_>
May 18th, 2011 - 20:51
First post here!
Just wanted to say thanks for the laughs on these Top 5 lists and for getting drunk in the name of gaming science :) Besides, shouldn’t that qualify you for a Nobel prize or something?
Can’t wait to see more of your stuff. Both agreeing and disagreeing with you is fun! (Not that I would ever DARE to disagree with you)
May 19th, 2011 - 18:41
Woo! Video games yeah!
So many words I could put here, don’t wanna get tangled up in my own linguistics though, I’ll start off simple:
Hi everyone.
There we go, quick and easy, just like the Barfly’s in down-town Seattle. HIYOOOOOOOOOO!
May 22nd, 2011 - 11:00
Hello this is amazing site! really cool and it will be a new inspirations for me
May 25th, 2011 - 19:07
Know what I like? Beer. Quality craft beer. Video Games too. A lot of people enjoy both of those, often at the same time. But come to find out you’re also into musical theater? The Venn Diagram that is my life is complete … hmm, that’s a good t-shirt idea.
Anyway, just wanted to stop by and say I think you’re smart. Cause you like the things I like. Which come to think of it, isn’t that one of the programming rules the interwebs are based on?
#if .MyIdeas {include.YourIdeas} #Then $print{FTW}
Keep up the good work!

I found myself watching All that..
Coffee and sugar,anyone?
May 29th, 2011 - 23:46
If you are such a big star wars trivia fan. Can you name all of the Null troopers ???
May 31st, 2011 - 10:35
Lisa! What happened to Top 5? I haven’t seen a new video in like 2 months. We miss you over at the Escapist.
June 1st, 2011 - 11:45
Sooooooooo….what’s up nerds? I just accidentally shot my horse in the head while playing Red Dead Redemption…and it made me sad. I remember when I first saw him standing there…proud, and strong…almost daring me to try to break him. At first I thought I shouldn’t even try, I mean look at him…he looks like the horse Jesus would have rode on during the Rapture if any of that shizm were real. So anyway, as I began to walk away, a fleeting thought crossed my cowboy brain. “Why not try? He’s standing right there, daring you to try to break him.” So I pulled out my rope (hee hee) and caught that magnificent stallion on the first try! Go me. I ran up to my prize and jumped on his back (I realize this is sounding like a homo-erotic smut novel…note to self: swing by barnes and noble). This untamed beast began to buck and fight like a fat kid who got a salad of the month club membership. I stayed on for fear of what would happen if I were to let go, and just as he began to calm down, he kicked one last time, sending me flying through the air and falling to the ground where I bashed my head on a rock and died. After I came back to life…I managed to find him again and finaly break him. After many an adventure, through good times and bad, we formed a bond of trust and understanding…and today I accidentally shot him in the back of the head trying to kill a skunk. :(

Oh and Lisa you rule….high fives….
June 1st, 2011 - 19:57
Hey lisa, your videos are ALL THAT and more… haha see what i did there
June 2nd, 2011 - 01:21
Greetings, i was just wondering why did you stop making top 5´s for the escapist, I thought they were quite clever and entertaining. I really enjoy your sense of humor and i thank yee for giving me quite a few laughs. I hope you read this because (unsurprisingly) it is the only place i found to reach to you, since there is no email or anything whatsoever on any page that you write/work for.
Keep up the good work lad, i hope this post feeds your egocentric needs.
Sincerely,
Jordi.
June 3rd, 2011 - 12:35
wait wait wait hold the…some thing train….whatever.
Where has Everyday Achievements gone?!
June 10th, 2011 - 00:59
Hey you used to be on All That apparently. I watched that show like a million times when I was younger. I don’t remember you at all
June 15th, 2011 - 06:42
she is the one on coffee and sugar segment
ring a bell?

June 10th, 2011 - 15:06
Hey Lisa?
(Insert geeky appreciation comment, remember to mention to her that you bought the mountain dew scented NES controller from Etsy a year ago!)
anyways, I see so much of you on the internet and am just wondering how you got started? I am some random 17 year old that definitely wouldn’t mind professionally contributing or writing for the likes of say theescapistmagazine, and really would appreciate any help or tips on how you got your name out there so quickly, and well
June 10th, 2011 - 15:07
* and thank you for reading :D
June 17th, 2011 - 04:47
I wish I had some sort of sarcastic lead-in to get your attention, but since I don’t I’ll just get to the point and recommend Terraria… I picked it up about a week ago and it’s an amazing game.
P.S. Everyday Achievements…? :(
June 22nd, 2011 - 17:58
Hello Lisa:
Does my name ring any bells to you?
Well, I’ll give you a hint. Go to the bunch of bussiness cards you got during the E3 (I guess you had a lot) and check them out. You will find one with my name on it.
Anything yet? If not, allow me to refresh your memory.
Maybe you remember a tall Spanish guy that talked to you during the fair? The one that told you about the idea of putting Spanish subtitles in the videos of The Escapist?
Yeap, that’s me.
I was wondering if you still could send me the information I asked you about. I would really appreciate it if you did. And of course, if you are ever interested in expanding your audience a little bit, I make the same offer to you.
Please, if you can, send it to me as soon as you can.
Best regards.
PS: Were some of you expecting some praise comment for Lisa instead of a self-selling message? Don’t worry. Now that I know of this blog, I will put them eventually in due time.
I just needed to take this issue out of the way first, and I couldn’t find any other way to reach her more “privately”.
I will say this, though:
KOS-MOS in the Top 5 Robots list FTW!!!!!!!
lol
July 14th, 2011 - 21:57
To the guy above: ME GUSTA!
A little off-topic, I work at a very popular video game chain-store (Well, the only one, maybe?) and there are a lot of Spanish-speaking people asking me about games with subtitles. You know, “Si, game-o por me, senorito!” (Actually, I’m hispanic so I’m one to talk…). F3AR (However you pronounce that) was a great option and I know some other games have that feature. But it’s usually either Japanese or French. great choices but, hey, let’s broaden our choices.
If you want to laugh a bit, you can even get the original voice actors and force them to talk in Spanish. Ah, yes. I would but that game. Whatever game. I’ll just buy it. :]
Uhh…on-topic? Um, Lisa rules? I wanna be like her when I grow up? No…? D8
July 21st, 2011 - 16:18
THIS IS A COMMENT.
keep up the ….uh……..whatever it is you do?
July 27th, 2011 - 04:06
So Lisa, we have the same BIRTHDAY! Anyway, I’ve been watching your vids and looking on this site for awhile now.
Great work! :D
August 5th, 2011 - 23:56
Well, I used to watch All That all day, every day, and I had a HUGE crush on Ms. Lisa up here, and now I find out she loves video games. Ah, if only I were 20….
(P.S. You still look REALLY hot. :D)
August 7th, 2011 - 15:46
(P.P.S. Your reviews KICK ASS.)
August 11th, 2011 - 12:12
Hello there, awesome queen of all that is good in gaming. ^_^
Okay, okay, I just wanted to ask a favor. After seeing you put Tengaar as the top red head on one of your top 5 vids, I would like to humbly request thy greatness to make a review/skit/video/whatever in honor of Suikoden. Recently, us suikoden fans have been getting the boot from konami. they don’t wanna make us a new suikoden game, and have even disbanded their development team. it’s sad to see such a great game go down the drain. you’re interesting, funny, beautiful, and plain AWESOME all at the same time, and you know, it would be cool if you could help us out a bit so that konami would listen. =) you have awesome almighty powers in the video game industry. hahaha. so…
pretty please?
annnd, great work. consider me a fan. =) keep gaming!~
September 7th, 2011 - 22:43
Your reviews are odd and interesting, I LOVE IT!!! ^.^
P.S. Have you got any news on the new Kingdom Hearts games or Arkham city? Im an RPG nut and must know!!!! That and if you ever played Suikoden do you think there will be a 6th game were everyone meets and there are like 1,080 stars of destiny?
October 12th, 2011 - 12:12
Actually, there’d only be 648 Stars o’ Destiny in the sixth Suikoden, yeah? You’re thinking of Suikoden X. ;)
October 18th, 2011 - 16:32
This video on youtube, yeah this is goodness to share on the site, like Scott Pilgrim * 100 good.

…You(r) “Bobies”. Sounds like a bunch of guys named Bob. Oh, yes, the hilari–
Unless Lisa collects Bobs! Great Scott!! O_o

Here is a comment that is unrelated to anything, but I wanted to say it, and this seemed like as good a place as any. I just came across the profiles for this year’s girls of geek calendar, and yours was by far the best. Of course, if I ever have any kind of shot at a date with any of those other girls I will disavow all knowledge of this comment.
p.s. You know what’s harder than typing with an Xbox controller? Typing with a cat on your keyboard flicking her tail across the keys. Just sayin’. No reason.
October 28th, 2011 - 00:19
You may be the awesome queen of gaming and nerd culture. But is Yoda on your side. http://offbeatbride.com/2011/10/yoda-flower-girl
November 1st, 2011 - 01:28
I just saw your crazy Peach costume on Kotaku. Pure. Unadulterated. WIN.
Anyway, I thought you looked familiar, and after a minute of pondering, BAM, I remembered seeing you in Even Stevens.
P.S. Cool site.
P.P.S. Are you really that good at Star Wars trivia?
November 10th, 2011 - 23:05
Dear Lisa Foiles,
I heard that You put together The All That Reunion at The Comikaze Expo, I just wanted to know if there will ever be another Reunion sometime in the future. I live in San Diego and a Large amount of My Friends and I tried to make to up to LA for the Convention in time for the Panel and Signing but our transportation broke down on the way up there. So we missed out on basically the only reason we were going to the Convention, also a lot of us are Fans of Top 5 and especially wanted to meet You. Do you think that possibly at Next Year’s Comikaze or maybe even at Next Year’s San Diego Comic-Con there could be a Second Cast Reunion? All of us in San Diego feel terrible like we missed out on a once in a life time thing, and TeenNick just keeps reminding us every night. So if there are any plans for a Second Reunion either up in LA or possible hear in San Diego please let us know on Save Point. Again we are very bummed out and wanted to meet all of you guys we Love the whole cast. So please let us know of any News if you have the time to respond to this message, we know that you are most likely very busy and do not have time for Fan Messages buy we hope this gets to You some how.
- Sincerely, Cody Leigh Jones

At the risk of sounding really creepy, I just got a Reddit account and stumbled across your AMA. I read this question: Would you ever pose for Playboy?
Proof that I’m not making shit up: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/i5l51/per_request_i_am_a_former_all_that_cast_member/c2145pt
You answered “Only if I can have video game controllers to cover up my lady bits”
Well, they did that:
