Title: The top 8 most one-sided battles in Robot Wars
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on March 04, 2012, 12:30:31 AM
Since RFS' article drew so much buzz, I thought I'd try my hand at doing one for Robot Wars.  Originally I was just going to feed him fight ideas, but the more I dug the more I realized I had a lot to say about it.  Eventually I ended up snatching the project for myself.


So here it is, I tried to be raunchy and incisive like RFS, so be warned that it contains approximately the same amount of objectionable content as his (and possibly more, you'll see what I mean).


Full disclosure, what I don't want to hear is "you should have included fight x." I probably did consider "fight x", but in the end I chose the fights (and the rankings) based on what I could write the most about - regrettably that meant that Granny's Revenge, Twn Trwn, and Juggernot did not make the cut.




But yeah, enjoy, tell me what you think; I've been thinking of getting into recreational writing so this might be the start.

Very well written, I must admit I laughed very hard at times.

Very nice work indeed. Informative and humourous. And not the Battlebots humourous that you alluded to in that.

Very well written and very funny. I like your writing style.

It felt like I was reading a cracked article from the way it was written.
