That's so crazy. XD I love that they preface it with the potty mouth warnings. :P

I'm always so paranoid that the drivers are going to see the site and take offense, even though as far as I know that hasn't exactly happened yet,

Also, I'll probably stick around here to chatter about BattleBots as opposed to /r/battlebots. While the articles I write are well-received all around, I just get the vibe that the community there doesn't actually like me all that much.

I know Charles Guan and Chuck Pitzer liked it

RFS · « **Reply #784 on:** July 05, 2015, 04:47:26 PM »

That's a load off my shoulders because I felt like I may have been a bit too edgy on Chuck.

edit: I trust GTM because you all are an amazing bunch of folks. Please let me know if I ever push something too hard or you think I'm getting a bit unraveled/unclear. I installed Google Analytics on BBU before launching it, and watching the page hits skyrocket after being posted on Reddit and shared by the actual teams and builders has left me a bit short on breath and fidgety. Like I had mentioned in one of the Reddit threads, I was too nervous to open the comments of one of the articles there. I've had to ask colleagues to open emails for me and screen them to see if I should prepare myself for the worst when I read them. (Yes, I am currently seeing a doctor for all of this.)

I am by no means trying to glamorize myself and see myself as a celebrity, but I don't handle attention and/or fame well. It's pretty much widely known now that post-RA2 I returned to "the furry fandom" wherein I was at one point a hot commodity as a writer. I was rubbing elbows with a lot of people in authoritative positions and being invited to speak at conventions. I slowly got worse and worse until I stopped writing, and subsequently faded from the public eye. I don't want that to happen again with BattleBots Update.

Anyways, I'm sorry for the diatribe. Back on topic, I've prepared a garbage bag for Radioactive ahead of time.

This is my first time really reading one of your articles.

"I like it" is an understatement and a paragraph of rectum snogging just looks bad, so have whatever this sentence is and consider it a compliment.

^this

Sadly, I won't be recording and uploading the videos anymore due to copyright strikes and that :/. There are plenty of others that upload the fights, though. You'll just have to wait a bit longer for their videos.

where is the link to the stream again?

That sucks man.

I appreciate what you did for the first two episodes, it was not only doing a solid for the robot combat community (especially our international friends) but it also let me work on the go. :)

As a mod there, you're easily the most loved writer there. If I was in charge of Mod givings, I'd be one to mod you , due to your knowlege.

I really wanna see Warhead boys enter Razer into S2. That way we can finally shut up "if razr wos ther he wold win easy".
pretty sure razer would die horribly against modern robots if it's even still working anymore

btw RFS these articles are gold

Thats the point. Dont you wish to hear the fanboys quiet?

I'm getting a huge Robotica vibe from the "Robots Activate".

Thyrus · « **Reply #794 on:** July 05, 2015, 08:14:34 PM »

Chomp really deserved that Wildcard spot.[/sarcasm]

Thyrus · « **Reply #798 on:** July 05, 2015, 08:28:25 PM »

Do we get all the wildcard fights?
Wildcards hold up great. .. good job on them
