A Random Assortment of Pimpery
? Adam WarRock’s new album drops today at his website here. It’s titled The War for Infinity, and yes, it is indeed loosely based on Marvel’s Infinity Gauntlet saga. You can listen to the whole thing streaming at the link above, so feel free to try before you buy. But there’s a rap song about Adam Warlock; what more do you really need?
? My sister site LA Weekly ran a gallery of cute girls dressed up like Pikachu. I don’t have the faintest idea why they would do such a thing, but there you go.
? Topless Roboteer Ed Green is starring in one of those GoDaddy commercial contests, and he asked me to ask you if you wouldn’t mind watching his video (he plays the boss) and giving it a vote. He won’t win any money, but he will likely win work, which pays money, so it’s still a pretty desired outcome.
? I amd very excited about tomorrow’s TR contest. There’s no special prizes, and technically there’s nothing actually special about it. Other than the fact I’m really excited about the theme. Make of that what you will.

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.
