Valve Re-Opens (and Re-Closes) Portal
Valve sent another patch to Portal, and this time, it wasn’t an elaborately disguised set of code teasing an upcoming sequel. No, this was more straight-forward — it’a a new goddamn ending. Well, more specifically, it’s an ending that continues farther than Portal‘s original final screen; it’s very short and it doesn’t contain any mind-blowing revelations, but still, respek to Valve for finding new and awesome ways to get people excited about a sequel.

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.
