This Isn’t Helping, Bulletstorm
You guys remember Bulletstorm? The FPS that’s all about the variety of killing opponents more than — well, anything else, really? The game that had a type of kill dubbed the “Sausage Fest”? The one with the silly Halo parody commercial? Well, I’m trying to ignore the game, but the new trailer above came out, and it’s really pretty terrible, but near the end it shows how you can telepathically pick up an opponent, turn him around an upside down, and then shoot him directly in the anus, which nets you a specific type of kill called “Rear Entry.” That so unbelievably awful is actually kind of sublime. I’d tell you more about how reprehensible it is, but I need to go download the demo on Xbox Live.

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.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
