I Think This Is the Secret of Monkey Island
Guybrush Threepwood is a fucking Jedi. You’re looking at a real — like actually genuinely real — screenshot from The Force Unleashed 2, released by LucasArts and everything, of Monkey Island star Guybrush as an unlockable, playable character. My mind is blown. Then I imagined Guybrush shooting Force Lightning at Stormtroopers and my already blown mind was reblown, which was pretty painful, let me tell you. Thanks to Eddie M. for the tip.

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.
