Okay, not really. But you’d be forgiven for thinking they did after hearing the perfect 1985-era Michael J. Fox voice coming out of digital Marty McFly’s voice in their upcoming Back to the Future game. It turns out it’s just some kid named A.J. LoCascio who does a killer Michael J. Fox impression, and who sent in an audition when he heard about the game. Kudos to Telltale for hiring him.
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.
