All I know about Okamiden is that it’s going to be on the Nintendo DS and is the sequel (or prequel?) to the beloved but perpetually low-selling Okami. Oh, and that it stars a Japanese goddess/wolf-puppy that’s so cute it makes my eyeballs want to explode every time I look at it. I wish I stared at some kittens in baskets or something for a few minutes first so my eyes could have adjusted. (Via Kotaku)
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.
