J.K. Simmons and Portal 2 4-EVER
Normally I wouldn’t consider running a 39-second mini-trailer for a game I’ve already covered as much as Portal 2. But when you add the incomparable J.K. Simmons and his narration into the mix, normal rules don’t apply. A 39-second mini-trailer for a game I’ve already covered the shit out of becomes a must-watch. I will not be surprised if watching this brief video will be the best 39 seconds of your day. If J.K. Simmons’ voice performance in Portal 2 was a physical being, I would send it champagne and flowers, that’s how much I love it.

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.
