A Moment of Topless Robot Self-Pleasure
 |
?I just wanted to take a moment and say thanks to all of you who hoped that I got felt better yesterday. I notice that many of you who generally ask me to eat a dick were among the well-wishers, and it was appreciated. Since everything mean anybody says about me on the internet makes me cry, it was a nice change of pace.
Both Super Punch and TR commenter Kayla did small interviews with me a while ago, and I didn’t mention it until now because I always feel weird promoting my own interviews; Ms. Robot barely wants to listen to me, why should you? Still, they’re both lovely people for dealing with my horrible typing if nothing else. Oh, and I also want to thank Revision 3’s Tekzilla for making TR one of their “Websites We Just Can’t Get Enough Of” last week.
But most importantly, I’ve been invited to ROFLcon — the internet culture conference — to talk about nerdiness, internettery, and of course, WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS. It’ll be held April 30 – May 1st in Boston at M.I.T. If you’re going, email me at toplessrobot(at)gmail(dot)com and let me know, and maybe we can figure out a Topless Roboteer meet-up. At a bar. Obviously.
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.
