That wacky Klingon proganda cartoon from the other day that turned out to be a viral video done for this site, which is either a well-made but fan-made project, or a promotion for the upcoming Star Trek Online MMORPG? Well, part two is out, starring an adorable if piercingly loud child reciting the Klingon along with the original cartoon. I’m actually far less interested in whatever this is promoting than I am just delighted with seeing a 4-year-old girl yelling in Klingon. (Via Sci-Fi Wire)
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.
