Please Do Not Step on Duke Nukem
While we all wait for Gearbox to delay Duke Nukem Forever again (there’s no way it can really come out in June 12th, right?), Gearbox is happy to pass the time with more promo videos, this one showcasing the amazing adventures of Duke Nukem on the floor. I didn’t particularly want to be entertained, but Duke’s tiny voice, his little running noise, and the way the evil aliens throw canned vegetables at him got me in the end. Still, if full-size Duke doesn’t have say “LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN” before he steps on a shrunken alien, I’ll be gravely disappointed.

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.
