The Other Best Nerd Thing That Happened This Weekend
Remember how I said yesterday that the nerd proposing to his girlfriend in front of Sir Patrick Stewart at the Chicago Comic Con was the best nerd thing to happen this past weekend? Well, astute Topless Roboteer Jason M. let me know that there was actually a tie between that and the event depicted above, which oddly also happened at the Chicago Comic Con. Now, it’s not the Bruce Campbell panel specifically, although it’s plenty awesome enough (seriously, 13 minutes of Bruce is pretty much the perfect way to start the day) — it’s what happens, or begins to happen, at about 7:20. Enjoy.

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.
