I don’t usually like to post other people’s rumors, but the way this went through Twitter last night, I’m guessing you folks would like to know: it’s entirely possible that Xbox Live is getting he classic Lucasarts point-n’-click adventure the Secret of Monkey island.

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.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
