I made two designs in my head over my two week canoe trip. Will build soon!

[Scrap Daddy]

IRL?
 
And I did pretty much rip off your Battlebots design for an IRL design, but I added some more weapons and such. =D I just need to give it a half-decent skin.

[Thyrus]

no I meant IRC would be easier to communicate with others than posing in threads or sending messages.

feel free to copie everything you want :D I wanted to build that kind of robot some day IRL

It's the same for everything, though. Over the past few years, I have slowly been losing what little faith I had left in the human race, as a species. I'm just waiting patiently for all the thick ones to kill themselves in an irrelevant and pointless war.

War. War never changes. 
The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted. Too many humans, not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, as always, purely human ones. 
The earth was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing,   an atomic spark struck by human hands, quickly raged out of control.   Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed   in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost   extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation   that blanketed the earth.   
A quiet darkness fell across the planet, lasting many years. Few   survived the devastation. Some had been fortunate enough to reach   safety, taking shelter in great underground vaults. When the great darkness passed, these vaults opened, and their inhabitants emerged to begin their lives again. 
One of the northern tribes claims they are descended from one   such Vault. They hold that their founder and ancestor, one known as the "Vault Dweller," once saved the world from a great evil. According to their legend, this evil arose in the far south. It corrupted all it touched, twisting men inside, turning them into beasts. Only through the bravery of this Vault Dweller   was the evil destroyed. But in so doing, he lost many of his friends   and suffered greatly, sacrificing much of himself to save the world.   
When at last he returned to the home he had fought so hard to   protect, he was cast out. Exiled. In confronting that which they feared,   he had become something else in their eyes...and no longer their   champion. 
Forsaken by his people, he strode into the wasteland. He traveled   far to the north, until he came to the great canyons. There, he founded   a small village, Arroyo,   where he lived out the rest of his years. And so, for a generation   since its founding, Arroyo has lived in peace, its canyons sheltering it   from the outside world. It is home. Your home. 
But the scars left by the war have not yet healed. And the Earth has not forgotten.

...I don't understand any of that. Good story, though.

[Resetti's Replicas]

Copypasta from "Fallout," I think.  It bothers me that they'd call their war "The Great War," because that's what Wrold War I was originally called, when people foolishly & optomistically believed that there would never again be another world war.

Indeed. It reminds me of a drawing I saw in an old Horrible Histories book on it, showing a girl and her grandfather looking at a war memorial, listing the names of the 20th century wars, to which the girl dejectedly states-
 
"I forget which one was supposed to be the war to end all wars"

[Meganerdbomb]

Well the Fallout universe's Great War came a bit closer to ending all war than World War 1 did.

[NFX]

No war is ever going to end all war. Unless it destroys every single member of humanity, in which case nobody will ever remember, recall or discover that particular war.

Indeed- always a likelihood as long as human stupidity exists.

The only way that won't happen is if the cosmos or mother nature decides to kill us beforehand.

War. War never changes. Since   the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing   power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of   everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage. In the year 2077,   after millennia of armed conflict, the destructive nature of man could   sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear   fire and radiation. But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of   the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another   bloody chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the   world - but war, war never changes. In the early days, thousands were   spared the horrors of the holocaust by taking refuge in enormous   underground shelters, known as vaults. But when they emerged, they had only the hell of the wastes to greet them - all except those in Vault 101. For on the fateful day, when fire rained from the sky, the giant steel door of Vault 101 slid closed... and never reopened. It was here you were born. It is here you will die. Because, in Vault 101: no one ever enters, and no one ever leaves.
