Senor’s BattleBots Beat: Bring Back Bil Dwyer!

Senor Weaselo - July 5, 2018July 4, 2018

In case you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about—more than usual, of course—that's Bil Dwyer. Some of you may know him from his time on Last Comic Standing, but to me he is best known as the color commentator from the Comedy Central BattleBots seasons, and for the catchphrase,

Senor’s BattleBots Beat: Go for 3!

Senor Weaselo - June 28, 2018June 28, 2018

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, the Dutch had a rough go, Chomp learned about the foibles of technology, and we met a robot that had a… pneumatic fist as its weapon, and the Internets responded as you'd expect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDekhoeEoCc Fister Roboto Bale Spear does not make an appearance in

Senor’s BattleBots Beat: Flippin’ Frenzy

Senor Weaselo - June 21, 2018June 21, 2018

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time, HUGE told Free Shipping to get big, Blacksmith bullied The Four Horsemen, and Yeti got its receiver issue from the Icewave loss fixed quickly enough to come try and wreck the KDFO studio. This week a DFO favorite makes her debut as do

Senor’s BattleBots Beat: Baby, It’s Cold Inside

Senor Weaselo - June 14, 2018June 14, 2018

In fairness I didn't say I was good with titles. But welcome back to the Beat! Last time, burgerbot Battle Royale with Cheese was more than a little undercooked in its debut, Lock-Jaw pulled a much less successful version of a Diesector, and Gigabyte learned that sometimes you get what you

Senor’s BattleBots Beat: No Tapping Out

Senor Weaselo - June 7, 2018June 7, 2018

Morning, lizard people. Let's see how this one turns out, since I was at my 10-year HS reunion over the weekend, so I was busy Friday night. And also as of this second the lappy's still mostly dead because I was running around. Which means I'll take notes on my

BattleBots Beat: Just How Much Tech Can Be Wrecked?

Senor Weaselo - May 31, 2018May 31, 2018

That's a double meaning in the title, due to my laptop being out of commission. Whoever said "hard drive error," you win! You don't win anything specifically or corporeally, or even my eternal love and admiration and gratitude. Just know that when your Disk Utility notes your S.M.A.R.T. system says

Senor’s BattleBots Beat: Hit of the Year Already?

Senor Weaselo - May 24, 2018May 24, 2018

Welcome to Senor's BattleBots Beat, the best BattleBots review series that posts on Thursdays… that doesn't routinely mention a "Bad Dragon." (Just a hunch, don't Google that one at work. Or at your family computer.) Last week, we had some fantastic fights and rumbles, and Tombstone and Minotaur nearly broke the

The Return (and Rebranding) of the BattleBots Beat!

Senor Weaselo - May 10, 2018May 10, 2018

A long time ago (2015 does feel like an eternity), the most-recognized American robot fighting tournament came back to TV. Yes, BattleBots came back, and there was much rejoicing. I covered the second season of it for this very website! And by covered it, I mean recapped the already taped

Bonus BattleBots Recap: Rumble Edition!

Senor Weaselo - September 22, 2016September 21, 2016

So they finally posted all the rumbles (the last one took a week to repost because they fucked up the sponsor stuff in post or else this would have been up in a timely manner dammit), so hell with it, let's do one last write-up! Not only that, but you

BattleBots Finale and Awards Blowout!

Senor Weaselo - September 6, 2016

All right, it's that time, for the last time, it's robot fighting time. For old friends, welcome back! For new friends, welcome to the final BattleBots recap of the summer.
