New Mechwarrior Is a Sustained, 3-Minute Nerdgasm
Holy. Fucking. Fuckmonkey. I don’t care if you didn’t play the living hell out of the original games on PC, or if you don’t like giant robot games (if that’s even possible), but if this in-game footage of the new Mechwarrior game doesn’t case you to enjoy three minutes of one of the most exquisite nerdgasms you’ve ever had, you might have to turn in your nerd card. It’s gorgeous, and I am super thankful I own an Xbox 360 right, because this bad boy has been announced for PS3 yet. Thanks to everyone who sent in this marvelous, marvelous tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
