I just started playing Saints Row 2 this weekend. I enjoy it a lot — the description I’ve always heard, “Grand Theft Auto but fun” is exceedingly apt — even if I’m not obsessing over it like I did Dragon Age (OCD papa needs his leveling up and grinding). But that might change with Saints Row the Third, thanks to this new trailer:
MOTHERFUCKING TRON IN MY MOTHERFUCKING SAINTS ROW. Goddammit that’s so pertinent to my interests it’s not even funny. Fuck killing the Deckers, I want to join them. Or at least wear their awesome/ridiculous Tron outfits. Say, does anyone know where I can sell $60 worth of plasma between now and November 15th? Infinite thanks to Justin F. for the tip.
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.
