Leonardo DaVinci: Accessory to Murder
Yeah, there’s hardly any new info in this Assassin’s Creed II video. However, it contains 90 seconds of Ezio killing random people thanks to his DaVinci-made arsenal, and thus is 90 seconds of videogame bliss. I’m still kind of irked at the whole flying machine bullshit, but if Leonardo’s going to make more useful Italian-murdering weapons like poison knives and hidden wrist guns, I suppose I can let it slide.

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.

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