TR’s Heroes Live-Blog XII: “This Man, This…HOBOLOSSUS!”
Hobolossus.
And I’ll be joining him as part of Topless Robot‘s mildly-internet-famous Heroes
live-blog, where I’ll be talking how awesome drinking is (unless you’re
under 21, in which case it’s terrible and you should never do it) and
then crying when people on the internet say talking about drinking
isn’t cool. it’s a vicious cycle.
I invite you all to join me and the fabulous CTrees at 8:50 pm, EST. Remember, we still have a few episodes before Pushing Daisies‘
Bryan Fuller’s work shows up, so we should see zero signs of
improvement. Think the characters will have all new nonsensical
motivations and wildly unexplained personality shifts immediately, or will they wait to switch everything up until after the title screen?
About The Author
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.
