Doc Brown: Before the Doc
One of the folks you’ll meet in Telltale’s upcoming Back to the Future game? It’s Doc Brown. Yeah, I know you’ve met him before, but you’ve not met him like this — and it’s going to be the new first time he’s met Marty. You’re going to meet the 17-year-old Emmett Brown at some point, which is a neat idea. Slightly less neat is the fact that the 72-year-old Christopher Lloyd is also going to be voicing the 17-year-old incarnation of his character, and, as you can tell by the video, it’s weird if not outright disturbing. Still, better to have Lloyd voice all the Docs than none of ’em, I guess. (Via Kotaku)

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.
