The Hitchhiker’s Guide Guide Is Coming
 |
?Remember that mysterious Hitchhiker’s Guide game I mentioned back in May? The one being made by Hothead? Well, it’s not a game — it’s a guide. The guide. The Hitchhiker’s Guide guide. What Hothead is doing in making the damned Guide for iPhones and iPads. That’s awesome. Look, I’m sure it won’t be as complete as we’d like, and if it’s at all reasonably priced it probably won’t look as good as we’d want either, but dudes — we’ll be able to have The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in the palm of our hands. That’s phenomenal. Well done, future. Maybe you’re not a total loss after all. (Via GamePro)
About The Author
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.
