The Tokyo Grand Guardian Hotel Is Luxurious, Deadly
You never need to fear earthquakes or enemy helicopters when you stay in the Grand Guardian Hotel in Tokyo (although if you get a suite in one of the arms, you might get motion sickness). If you don’t stay in the Grand Guardian, you do have to worry about the Grand Guardian blowing you up for the hell of it. all in all, a very effective sales pitch. (Via Japan Probe)

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.
