I thought I posted about this once but I can't find my topic so boom - here's a new one. Does anyone remember my original ? I ran it over six years ago on my old Alphaforum (anyone remember that archaic thing?). AON2, the sequel, is still at it and the latest episode, just went live. and lemme know what you think.

Ah, yes- I certainly remember it. It's a good series, but I can't help but feel a little annoyed that all the good robots (IE. U2 III, Double Demon) are all going out in the Heats.

This series owns. Thanks for putting it back up.

I loved AON, thanks for reminding me of it.

Thanks! I'm happy with the skins too, and the arena fits the series to a tee.

I remember this. There was one bot called HeadHunter or something. I think they inspired me.

Alphasim · « **Reply #7 on:** January 05, 2012, 05:30:16 AM »

Yep, Head Hunter was in the original series.

You can see him here.

I think I should thank you for inspiring me

I left a coment on your channel years ago. I wrote something very very naive I think :D
the name was oooZer0oo

You and Wild Robots were generally my inspiration to start Havok Combat. I thank you very much for that. It is in the display tournament topic.

Alphasim · « **Reply #10 on:** January 12, 2012, 04:19:27 AM »

Thank you, guys. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.

Speaking of AON, the new video should be up within a week.

Thyrus · « **Reply #11 on:** January 12, 2012, 04:38:28 AM »

I was planning to do something simillar but I have no time for it. I wanted it to be a tribute to robot wars with intro, new arena, robot information and all that.

Alphasim · « **Reply #12 on:** January 12, 2012, 04:39:39 AM »

It's time-consuming but very rewarding once it's done, because if you like it it'll be there to watch (pretty much) forever.

Thyrus · « **Reply #13 on:** January 12, 2012, 04:42:44 AM »

I know. I may do it some day. I need to get back in touch with Trovaner for the arena and I need to build more realistic MWs. And I need to install that expensive video editing programm again.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 12, 2012, 02:14:42 PM »

Ah yes, Snapper, the bot that inspired one of my brother's bots. Good before-GTM times.

edit: Is Mighty hurricane named after the F-Zero Machine?

Alphasim · « **Reply #15 on:** January 13, 2012, 11:27:04 AM »

No, I've not played any of the F-Zero games. It just sounded good. I probably heard someone say the name and then my subconscious liked it.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 13, 2012, 02:08:47 PM »

aww. You should play them, they're fun.

Alphasim · « **Reply #17 on:** January 13, 2012, 03:18:41 PM »

That's what I hear. There's no reason I've not played them; I've owned all of Nintendo's home consoles. I guess they just slipped by me. Maybe I oughta look up the Gamecube and N64 versions at Gamestop of something.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2012, 03:25:32 PM »

yeah, GX is fun but insanely hard.

hey alpha

your videos are what actually inspired me to start hosting tournaments, however i never could figure out how you got that stats to show while the video was playing in the same frame. We have all had to stick with static splashes in most parts, care to share your secrets?
