You're actually going through with it?  I can give you some suggestions if it would make your life easier.


If there are folks here who know volumes about RW I'd be more than happy to check out specific fights if they're available to watch somewhere. Otherwise I'd be entering the article knowing almost nothing.

There's this, which isn't exactly compact, but is certainly complete.:

I might do it myself, except I don't really have the same harsh and merciless style of humor as you.


There goes my evening. XD

Nice, I like it.  You should do one for RW too.


I thought about that, but the only issue is I have very little knowledge of Robot Wars, especially the UK series. It only aired on TechTV here in the states, which was a premium cable channel (meaning we never got it where I live because we had no money for stuff like "premium cable"). We had the US version on TNN/Spike (hosted by Mick Foley, which was god awful) and we had, of course, Nickelodeon Robot Wars which I never actually watched. I watched Robot Wars, but I never really caught onto it mostly because the show to me was always more flashy than literal combat.


BattleBots had a PPV special that I saw for free on my family's hacked cable box, back when descramblers were a thing, and their show ran on a basic cable channel so I was able to watch every episode and tape it and all that good stuff.


I feel like I wouldn't know enough about Robot Wars to sound educated on the subject which is one of the reasons why this article (and others) sound funny; I sound believable, like I know the subject matter. It adds to my credibility and makes the jokes flow better because the reader isn't constantly analyzing the article to see if I'm a moron.


If there was a place where I could see every episode and stuff in one concise and easy to navigate page then I'd definitely be up for it, though. I just wouldn't know the history of the robot teams and all that.



If you ever do another one, you should do the biggest upsets.


I've thought about that, actually. I really want to pursue that one, but I don't want to write it immediately after having written a BattleBots article.

*sigh*

I do remember this thread having a tendency to throw people off topic. I guess I'll have to think of a gameplan on my own.
You're gonna have some explaining to do, and your "friend" might show his true colors if he tries to spin it as you being the aggressor, even though according to your story he threw the first punch. In today's age expect both of you to be in trouble. He threw a punch, you retaliated, therefore you're both guilty. As retarded as that sounds with the school attempted to castrate people socially by removing the opportunities for people to defend themselves that's just how it is. You'll both probably end up suspended.

It is true, I am demigod. My mother was one of the crocodiles in the Cult of Sobek and my father was a cultist. My secret is out!!
I presume you're here to stay ?


It is nice being in the community without all the people whom I've wronged or berated or chewed out for no particular reason other that me being an immature and self-centered asshole. All the ego-fellating is a little weird, though. D:

nobody cares if you punch someone in school aslong as you say the 2 magic words
Which are?
butt frustration

That was the funniest thing on combat robots I've ever read.


I also wrote some coverage of the 2011 "Killer Robots" special on Science Channel: http://www.gatoraids.com/2011/06/bbu-killer-robotsrobogames-2011/


The funny thing is it ended up being read by half the people I was making fun of in that article. But they were good sports about it.

@Radio
Lol.

Do you think I could get suspened in a hillbilly school that only has 40 kids in, for punching someone when it wasn;t even my fault AND I explain my point of view well?


In today's school system I'd say yes. I'm assuming you're quite younger than I am. Back when I was in school and I beat the hell out of some d-bag that was bothering me I was still able to use "self defense" as an excuse. These days I know regardless of your position in the fight everybody gets in trouble. Unless you can weasel in some tugs at your principal's heartstrings you can expect to be suspended for about 3 days most likely.


edit: Indeed, I am twice as old as you. I was about your age when I pounded that other guy.

Got in my first physical fight today. Unfortunately it was with a good freind of mine, but on the bright side I won! Punched him right in the face. I may have punched him a bit to hard though, considering he was bleeding and crying. But right now I am a bit worried, I hope I just gave him a bloddy nose, not a broken nose. That last I need right now is a medical bill and 2 pairs of angry parents. What do you think I should do?
Be a better friend.
It wasn't 100% my fault. My freind has been calling me just about every swear word in the book, and I got sick of it. So then on the bus, he punched my cheek. Now it wasn't that hard of a punch but when someone punches you, you don't debate on wheter or not to punch them, you fight back! And thats what I did, My fist thought faster then my brain did.


Anyway hopefully this'll cool down over the weekend. I have no grudges against him, but he might. All grudges that were in me, left through that punch.
Be a better friend. Get better friends.

I wrote this article recently and I thought it'd be something you guys would be interested in. :) 7 laughably one-sided bouts in BattleBots plus a special bonus "Honorable Mention". :3

Thanks for the welcome back everyone. :)

Also I can't take credit for Thumperizer being the first robot. We all know that was Digital Apocalypse.

I push about 90 on average. My results from this test, though:


WPM: 85
Keystrokes: 453
Correct: 85
Incorrect: 4


Not bad considering I've spent the last two hours writing. :P
