FYI: No Heroes, No Bricken, No Foolin’ Around
 |
?Hey, guys. I have two announcements, the first of which is that due to incredibly poor planning on my part, there will be no Heroes live-blog tonight. You have my apologies, but in all honesty, my liver and soul needed a break anyways. Please feel free to use this article’s comments to discuss and hate and tell me how long the rainbow-shooting cello solo goes on for.
The second announcement is that while I’m traveling tomorrow, Topless Robot will be run by frequent Daily List contributor Chris “Bionic Bigfoot” Cummins (pictured above). It’s the first time I’m having a guest writer, but I have no doubt you’ll be in capable hands, since Chris sends me half my tips anyways (although I bet you’ll miss my constant typos). I’ll be back on Wednesday morning, assuming you knuckleknobs haven’t set the blog on fire, and the Heroes live-blog will resume next Monday on the 16th. Now, you kids be good for Chris, go to bed when he tells you, and try not to tell him he sucks Joss Whedon’s penis if you can avoid it. Xoxo, Rob
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.
