This Is the Best Game with Robot Poop I’ve Ever Seen
Meet Spate. Don’t let the kinda awkward narration dissuade you from checking out this absolutely gorgeous game, which is a 2.5-D indie game of platforming and puzzles in the classic “incredibly hard, needs pinpoint reflexes and almost everything will kill you” style. As it involves robots, robots pooping, and some tremendously insane visuals (things get extra crazy around the 2:20 mark), I hope this thing meets its Kickstarter goal. I mean, you can step in robot poop. Now that’s a game I need to be playing.

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.
