Sick Day
I’m sick. Too sick to even do the incredibly easy job of posting stupid shit on the internet. So my apologies, folks, but I’m taking today off to spend in bed with Dayquil, orange juice, and the One Piece manga, and will hopefully recover enough to resume Topless Robotics on Wednesday. I really, really hate not posting — I promise I wouldn’t do it unless I was running a pretty good fever and having a hard time staying awake — so if you guys forgive me, I’ll spend my few conscious moments today reviewing the Wonder Woman TV pilot, which I’ve managed to get my hands on. It’s… it’s not particularly good. Anyways, again, my apologies, and I’ll see you all tomorrow.
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.
