Friends Don’t Teleport Friends to Their Deaths
Instead, friends teleport friends so they help each other, or at least that’s the way Portal 2‘s newly announced co-op mode pretends you’re going to behave. I’m sure there’s no chance that anyone would be an enormous dick and send their partner into pools of fire, wallsof spikes, or a room full of angry gun turrets. No chance at all. Nope, this’ll be all about the helping. And GLaDOS will laugh and laugh and laugh.
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.
