BattleBots Beat: Start Your Arguments!

Senor Weaselo - February 18, 2021February 18, 2021

Welcome back to the Beat! It's the last midnight Fight Night of the (technically) 2020 season, and with it the 32-bot bracket will be revealed following the conclusion. Will there be seeding complaints? Undoubtedly! Who's in and out complaints? Probably! Will we know? Not until the end, so onto the

BattleBots Beat: Bubble Battles

Senor Weaselo - February 11, 2021February 10, 2021

Brought to you by Blake Bortles. Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out we started asking questions about 1-2 bots. Among them, Tombstone. Could Tombstone be on the bubble? Could Tombstone be out? Well, we'll find out soon enough. But in the meantime, we'll find out how big the bubble

BattleBots Beat: All the Horizonal Spinners, Please

Senor Weaselo - February 4, 2021February 4, 2021

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time we watched the equivalent of a mouse beating an elephant right after the saddest fight in BattleBots this season. This week we have old favorites trying to get to 1-2, and in the main event, two fan favorites trying to avoid 1-2. And

BattleBots Beat: For Lack of a Good Joke

Senor Weaselo - January 29, 2021January 28, 2021

Yeah, I don't have one. Writing a requiem movement does that… (it's also part of why this is late because I was zapped.) Welcome back to the Beat! Last time we saw more sparks than at a Spyro the Dragon convention, thanks to Valkyrie and Rotator; Malice did the thing; and

The D of S, Vol II: Epilogue

Senor Weaselo - January 27, 2021January 27, 2021

Senor Weaselo stands at the edge of the Purgatory's peak, the edge of the Earthly Paradise. Yes, Glasgow Fog in hand. His duty complete, his charge handed over to the holy light of Beatrice, there is nothing left to do but watch the ascension. From afar of course. Getting caught

BattleBots Beat: Cue Lazer Light Show!

Senor Weaselo - January 21, 2021January 20, 2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2aUD0Rgwho Catscratch was an underrated show and deserved more than one season. DON'T AT ME. (Unfortunately Doug TenNapel… yeah.) Welcome back to the Beat! Last time, there was salt, and anger, and arguably the worst win of the season, by a bot that I currently have as a top 3 seed! The

The D of S, Vol. II: The Earthly Paradise

Senor Weaselo - January 20, 2021January 20, 2021

Night on top of the mountain of Purgatory. tWBS: So, what's gonna happen? Senor: Beats me. After all, I'm not gonna be with you. All I can do is watch. tWBS: Wait, seriously? You can't come and watch? But which commenter's going to escort me through all of Heaven? Senor: Why would you want

BattleBots Beat: Oh Great, More Salt

Senor Weaselo - January 14, 2021January 13, 2021

Welcome back to the Beat, now back at its regular time assuming I get this done in time! Eh, I should be fine. Anyway, last week we watched Chomp walk, which made it the second robot of the week to have no wheels because Tombstone sliced Slap Box's off. This

The D of S, Vol. II: Terrazzo VII

Senor Weaselo - January 13, 2021January 12, 2021

tWBS: Why am I nervous? Senor: Because as I said, this is the lust terrace upcoming, and you posted compilations of sexy pictures on the Internet for multiple years? tWBS: Hey, they weren't pornographic! Senor: Yeah, but society's a bunch of prudes. tWBS: And you did it too! Senor: Like twice? Probably a difference there,

BattleBots Beat: Oh Lawd She Chompin’

Senor Weaselo - January 8, 2021January 8, 2021

Welcome back to the Beat, and Happy New Year! We took a week break because we could, but that led to a fuck-ton of procrastination, so sorry if we're late, because I was too lazy to write this between Christmas and New Year's and then started writing at 11:00 local

The D of S, Vol. II: Terrazzo VI

Senor Weaselo - January 6, 2021January 6, 2021

Place and time: Walking up into the sixth terrace of Purgatory, right after Mozart ditched them. tWBS: You know, I've been wondering. I've gone through Hell and Purgatory, and dealt with a whole ton of people on the way. And I could understand them all. Why? Senor: Okay, first off, out of

The D of S, Vol. II: Terrazzo V

Senor Weaselo - December 30, 2020December 30, 2020

Place: Walking into the fifth terrace of Purgatory, when… Voice: Adhaesit pavimento anima mea. My soul cleaves to the dust; revive me with Your Word. A soul lays prostrated on the ground. tWBS: Hey buddy, you okay? And can you speak up? I can't really hear you mumbling into the ground. Voice: My soul
