Failrace Youtuber Made a robot arena2 video!!!
« on: May 10, 2014, 11:28:35 AM »
Failrace makes 90% of time only racing/cars related videos,but he did robot arena 2 video a day ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooi-fWB1KeI


It seems robot arena 2 has started coming more popular now, since nerd3 made a video about it. (leading to many new members, including me)
And now other youtubers are starting to discover this game too!
Apparently master at sucking in everything.... except 3d modeling i suppose and  Scripting Vizual Bazzic like 70+ years old blind man......

I've already posted about it in the download thread that was put up (I think) in response to nerd cubed's video.
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

I'm thinking I should make a bot lab background that displays instructions for how to select attach points.  Neither this guy or Nerd3 seemed to know how to do it.

The last thing Robot Arena 2's community needs is a bunch of "me too" YouTubers lurking about after their favorite video game commentating nobodies have done a special on the game. I'm really happy that for the first few years of RA2's existence not only was there not a YouTube, but these "reviewers" and let's players were also not a thing either.

I can't wait for PewDiePie's inevitable video so I can finally experience what it's like to watch someone who can't play the game scream "RAPE" for 40 minutes while fighting Sentinel. Even better, how about JonTron so the forums can be inundated with terrible music remixes of all the hilarious quotes and flying text effects from his RA2 special?

The next step from here is a special mention in a sh**ty Cracked article called "14 Video Games You Won't Believe Don't Snerple Flerple Derple Buzzwords and Tits Photoshopped Onto Things That Don't Normally Have Tits". Congratulations, Robot Arena 2.


edit: Not everyone who watches gameplay stuff on YouTube is a piece of crap, and I apologize if I came off in that manner. However, the first time someone comes in and mentions a "Bro Army" so help me God... -__-;

Stop being so pessimistic.  I highly doubt GTM can get anymore dysfunctional than it currently is, even with PewDiePie fans.

I fear you are grossly underestimating the detriment a 12 year old PewDiePie fan can bring to not just GTM, but any community.

edit: There are 10+ years of history behind Robot Arena 2. The kinds of people that these videos attract were in diapers when this game came out -- and many of these people still are. For every decent person we get there'll be about five more who can't be assed to perform even the most rudimentary of searches or independent research before they ask the most inane questions about this game. If I were a betting man I'd bet money right now one of these hypothetical winners will ask how to mount an E-Tek on its back. These are people who don't give a **** about any kind of culture or camaraderie within a game; no, they only saw some dickhead play it on YouTube and now they have to follow suit because they have no sense of self.

Everybody just chill.  Two people doing RA2 Let's Plays on Youtube does not mean GTM will be inundated with immature fanboys.  But even if it does come to that, ranting about it isn't going to prevent it.  Right now, it's just going to make people look at you uncomfortably and wonder if they dare post a reply in here.

I wonder what would happen if an RA2 veteran did a Let's Play, though.  Someone to show the Youtube community how it's done.

but how popular would that video be
not very...
it is fun to yell at people doing stupid things and watch them progress as a builder
if these are done right it will essentially be like robot showcases on youtube
robot arena 2 shouldnt suffer from new people because were do the veterans come from?
every 25 one day users there are there will be one who shows potential a diamond in the rough
until these people begin to stray from the game we wont know who these standouts will be
a new generation of robot arena 2 players is coming
this means interest in the game will continue
this isnt a bad thing we just need to wait
who gets invested and who doesnt will stand out eventially
i do not mean disrespect to older players  but i think this can lead to good things
worst thing that can happen is we become happy wheels and have everyone playing it but even that died out and the loyal players stayed
people being bad at a game is a step toward sucess
/ rant
/ ijust spent 15 minutes typing on a forum for just one post... i made the right choice!

I watched a few FailRace videos before I saw this one. They did a variant of Robot Wars in GTA V which came out pretty well. Reminiscent of the first few seasons actually :P
