Eating During the Hunger Games Is Just Rude
If you’ve read The Hunger Games, this clip of Katniss getting her “performance review” as a Tribute should be a nice, if brief, treat for you. It was for me. If not… whatever. I have other things on my mind.
Chris Cummins will be taking over for the rest of the day including the contest (there will be an FFF at 2pm by me, so feel free to sigh in relief). I’m sorry for the recent chaos, but I’ve got some things going on — a personal matter, but nothing bad — that has made me travel a lot this week, and will likely make me travel randomly next week, too, and maybe even the week after that. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to pay Chris to cover for me all these times, so the site may miss some updates in the next week or two, and for that I apologize. I’ll try to warn you if/when it happens, but I do appreciate your patience while my shit is currently crazy. Thanks! And thanks to A Guy for the video tip.

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.
