“But Anyways, Let’s Talk Violence.”
Warning: Watching this lengthy, thorough preview for Borderlands 2 will almost definitely make you want to purchase the game. Immediately. Partially because the game itself looks great, but also because it’s a really, really well-done video with bon mots like “See those bandits? Notice how they aren’t on fire? Maya shall fix that.” Basically, this video makes Borderlands 2 look like one of the greatest, funnest games ever made, and I’m not 100% sure it’s actually overselling it.

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.
