Rob Bricken ​This impossibly necessary photoshop brought to you by James Walker. tag:www.toplessrobot.com,2012://132.576326 2012-02-09 16:04:21 2012-02-09T21:27:17Z

Rob Bricken Yes. Battleship, a movie based on a board game with no intrinsic narrative other than ships shooting each other, which has been fat-packed with aliens for some reason, is getting a FPS shooter even though the whole terrible fucking movie apparently takes PLACE ON BOATS ON THE FUCKING OCEAN SO THE GAME IS GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE THE DAMN THING TO SOME GENERIC ISLAND SOMEWHERE. WHICH MEANS THEY'RE MAKING A GAME THAT HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH A MOVIE WHICH HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH A BOARD GAME.​Seriously, if Avengers weren't coming out in May, I'd toss myself in front of a subway train. tag:www.toplessrobot.com,2012://132.576285 2012-02-09 15:03:16 2012-02-09T20:04:29Z

Rob Bricken ​• We Love Fine finally made an '80s art fashion shirt for Amidala. Not only is it fabulous, but it's limited, meaning you only have three more days to purchase it. It's $25 at We Love Fine.​• Are you fan of the popular Japanese Touhou bullet hell games? Love the "Bad Apple" video starring the girls from said games? Don't have any clue what I'm talking about? Well, I'm not sure how much watching the actual video will help, but for everyone else this shirt is $20 at Jbox.​• Damn. Damn. I don't know what to say about this beauty except the Metroid frame and Super Mario World blocks in the background are brilliant, wonderful touches. Also, the shirt is $10 at Ript Apparel, today only. tag:www.toplessrobot.com,2012://132.576270 2012-02-09 14:07:06 2012-02-09T19:25:43Z

Rob Bricken ​Indeed, there is one good thing about DC's Before Watchmen, and that's the fact that DC is finally allowed to make -- or is fine with making -- merchandise based on the original graphic novel and not just the movie. I guess DC decided if they're going to make more Watchmen comics they might as well go for the merchandise too, but whatever. You'll finally be able to own 9-inch statues of comics-accurate Rorschach and Comedian some time later this year. Even Rorschach's happy about it, as you can tell by his jaunty walk.

Rob Bricken I'm a little late in posting this disgustingly brilliant Lana Del Rey's "Video Games"/Hunger Games parody, but it's too good not to share. Admittedly, I know nothing about Lana Del Rey other than she exists and seems to suck, so I'm probably missing some of the jokes, but I imagine I'm still a happier person for my ignorance. I'm definitely a happier person for hearing that line about Peeta at about 1:44. (Via The Mary Sue) tag:www.toplessrobot.com,2012://132.576157 2012-02-09 11:17:54 2012-02-09T16:19:45Z

Rob Bricken Speaking of old-school adventure games, Tim Schafer -- who was recently contracted by the creator Minecraft to make a sequel to his beloved Xbox game Psychonauts -- seems to be having a bit of good luck. He recently started a project on Kickstarter for his game company Double Fine with the intention of making an old-school adventure game like Schafer's beloved PC games Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango. He posted the Kickstarter yesterday, setting a goal of $400,000.Today he's at $545,000.Wow. You can still donate -- there's a pretty cool tier of prizes for big sums -- but even if you don't, Schafer and his company are going to make an old-school adventure game. That is what I would call good news. Thanks to everybody who sent in the tip. tag:www.toplessrobot.com,2012://132.576102 2012-02-09 09:03:47 2012-02-09T14:07:54Z

Rob Bricken What's more, Rupert Grint's theme song has a music video, which contains nothing but awesomely ridiculous Rupert Grint fan art. It's by internet music maestro Parry Gripp, who also requested the art -- that way, I imagine, he didn't have to look for it himself and search through the piles and piles of erotic Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley fan art. Smart man. (Via FilmDrunk) tag:www.toplessrobot.com,2012://132.575825 2012-02-09 08:06:53 2012-02-08T20:29:36Z

Andy Hughes http://www.toplessrobot.com/ ​Sierra Entertainment. The name alone is enough to conjure up titanic waves of nostalgia for any gamer with a sense of history. With that legendary crest logo and accompanying theme, they were, in there heyday, like the Hollywood of electronic entertainment, or at least the Disney. Now, it and fellow adventure legend LucasArts are both seen as icons of a bygone age though, perhaps "bygone" isn't exactly the right word, seeing as adventure games seem to be having a comeback. But for much the '80's and '90s, Sierra was an indisputable powerhouse and set the standard for the graphical exploration-based game; heck, they practically invented it. As with a lot of older pieces of entertainment, it can be difficult to look at these titles without one's judgment getting completely be-fogged by nostalgia. For many of us, these were our introduction not just to computer games, but to computers in general; I can't say for sure that I'd know half of what I do about Windows if Ken and Roberta Williams didn't force me to make sure I had sufficient "heap space" to run their software (and if you get THAT reference, you probably need a hug and a good cry). But with appreciation slowly returning for these classics, it seems a fitting time to re-examine the best works developed by this dream-factory. Shall we?
