For serious though, I'm putting my money on Rocko's Modern Life to win it all - not that I personally would vote for it

I would like to cast a write-in vote for My Little pony. Every bracket.

Was there a flame war overnight or something? Five pages sprung up out of nowhere
Aye. Discord must've gotten to one of them because the post that incited the flame war was completely benign.

An I the only one who thinks that he's done nothing wrong?
HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG
That's PETA's stance, he was a vegetarian after all.

Pretty good, considering how restrictive stock is. Did you try putting a Y extender on the burst to get the axe/flipper combo? Also, that particular version had a head but no beak.

I really want to play RA2 but once I play the game after 2 minutes I get bored and turn the game off.
Does anyone else try play RA2 but get bored quickly and why?
For me, there's always novelty in smashing up the Stock opponents.

PS: Somebody, you forgot Robotica and Robot Wars.
Robot Wars' 10 year cancellation anniversary will occur 2014.

Be still my heart! Everyone really made some damn fine artwork for this. This is the first I'm seeing of it (slowpoke.jpg) because my company didn't allow GTM on its internet service. So forgive me if this is an obvious question but do the pit and the flame jets still "correspond" with the hazard markers on the new skin?

Hello, me again :P so I was on the Internet and my laptop just froze, I could move the mouse but not click anything. So I did alt cntl and del. Didn't do nothing, so I closed the lid and floors it up again. Then the screen went black. Now I can't turn it off, I know its on cause the keybuttons make noises and the on light is on. Should I pull the batt out? Or wait for the battery to drain? Please help. Thanks.
Why not just force shutdown?

An example other than the "you didn't build it" gaffe? (In exchange, I won't mention the dog on the roof)
i must be missing something... where did this come from?
Now that's interesting, you say you've been offended by some of the things Obama's said yet you're unaware of the most-exploited one. He was talking about how even the self-made man who built his business from the ground up built the business himself yes, but still needed roads, bridges, etc that other people built. It was poorly worded yes but the message itself was really nothing shocking considering that the liberal party is pro gov't services and regulations.

I go by this rule: All/most politicians are douchebags.
Anyone care to change my opinion?
Nope, because you have the right opinion. However, some are more doucebaggy than others. Example: Mitt Romney
Excuse me, but politicians are people too. How else are the people supposed to be represented? In anarchy? Then people will try to take control, and establish themselves higher than others, and then we have regular anarchists turned right into the exact thing they fought against.
And how is Romney a douchebag? Just because you don't agree with him doesn't mean he is a bad person.
He's not purposely a douchebag, but he really has no idea what it's like for people who weren't born with silver spoon in their mouth. A lot of his remarks are insensitive, probably not on purpose but I can understnad how they would make people feel indignant or offended.

You know I never believed the saying "everything's bigger in Texas," but that's a convincing argument.

I remember seeing an Anonymous-esque raid in 2000. General Mills likes to run vote-based promotions on election years, and in that year, thet had kids vote for what kind of coins they wanted to have in the Cocoa Puffs boxes. The mascot Sonny (NOT where I got my username from) was campaigning against two obvious joke candidates - an elephant and a donkey. The elephant and the donkey were offering plain metal coins with their respective faces, whilst Sonny was offering chocolate coins. The "election" was done via online poll with no vote-limiting mechanism. Obviously they intended for the chocolate coins to win, but before long, the ratio was something like 10:7:5 in favor of the elephant! I was 10 at the time and I thought that that kind of social deviance was just about the funniest thing ever! I pitched in a little too.
Eventually they scrapped the online poll and made it so that you could only vote with a ballot found in the cereal box.

I'm afraid of those African body-mutilating techniques. I'm talking about things like neck rings (gives you a griaffe neck), anything to do with skewers, and oh god, gauged ears (google search if you dare) . I was on the train once and this white guy with gauged ears the size of shot glasses was sat near me. The whole time I was screaming in my head "YOU FREAK! YOU ****ING FREAK!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??? WHY??? YOU'RE SICK!!!!"

How does the painting thing work exactly? Do you have to do it all yourself in Photoshop?

Do you remember what series it might have been? Or just any vague description of what was going on in said episode? I don't recall any such thing, I just assumed it happened some time between Extreme 2 and S7.

Oh I had to think hard about this one. When I was there I am pretty sure I heard growling noises so yes. But this was nearly 10 years ago so my memory is a bit sketchy on it.
Do you have any cool stories or interesting anecdotes about being at Robot Wars?
God this is like skype all over again. I'll just list off whatever I can remember and you can judge for yourself
-There was another robot supposed to be in the Middleweight Final of Series 7. It was called Voodoo Child and made by the same guy who created Broadsword. However it never competed due to hideous exposed wiring and looking even more flimsy than it's predecessor. I don't think it even got through the door.
-Jayne Middlemiss made my sister cry. Purely because she wasn't Phillipa Forrester. Me and my father were happy talking to her, but my sister wasn't for some reason. Even though she had done the whole interview thing a year earlier for Extreme 2. I remember her saying to my father "I'm sorry! I'm making your children cry!". This is also probably the reason there are no pre-battle interviews for that match.
-The Typhoon guys were very nice. Contrary to popular opinion.
-The TAN guys were very nice aswell. So I might be slightly skewed when I say it's one of my favourite robots.
-In the pits, over the 2 times we were there, we were stationed near; Pussycat, Typhoon, Barborous 2 'n' a bit, Thermidor 2, Behemoth, TAN and possibly Dantomkia.
-Those remote control booths were like sodding ovens.
-I remember being smug because Phoenix (our second robot) was shaped in such a way Growler couldn't bite it. So instead it nearly got launched out by the floor flipper.
-At qualifying (Yes a middleweight bot had to do that, I think my father may have been trying to pass it off as a underweight heavy though.) I remember we faced a robot that was not dissimilar to Series 3 robot Armour Geddon. I also remember seeing Shove and thinking it was the new house robot to be announced next series. And seeing The Mouse on a static display and wondering what the  it was. I got to sit next to TerrorHurtz though and that was very cool.
I'll edit in stuff if I remember anymore. Please note this is from years ago so my memory is a bit rusty.
Awesome! I do appreciate the chance to pick your brain, as someone who never got the opportunity to see Robot Wars in-studio, this is all fascinating. Is there anything else interesting about Phoenix or Malc that we wouldn't know from watching their TV appearances?
