And Here’s a Saints Row the Third Trailer
As if to prove my point from the last post, THQ just released a trailer for Saints Row the Third (I’m sure it’s a total coincidence it came out about five minutes after the GTAV trailer, too). Seriously, compare the two: One has crop-dusting, house foreclosures, and homeless people. The other has farts in a jar used as weapons, air strikes, and Burt fucking Reynolds. I don’t begrudge it of you if you’d rather play GTA, of course, but I don’t understand it, either. Thanks to Smashpor1 for the tip.

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.
