I know Dead Space is a popular franchise that I need to cover, but I know less than nothing about it, and I don’t have any real desire to learn anything about it, so instead of making a bunch of incorrect generalizations about this lengthy look at Dead Space 3, I’m just going to post it for the people who care and shut the hell up. Actually, I’m going to spend my time watching that 16-minute Game of Fuckings video again, and then watch the first four minutes a third time. So it’ll be like I watched the Dead Space 3 video, except instead of watching a dude who got his duds at a Hot Topic in 2175 wander around the old Thing set I’ll just see a lot of boobs. This seems like an extraordinarily good compromise to me. (Via Gamma Squad)
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.
