2020 Banner Madness, Day 3

Senor Weaselo - March 3, 2020March 2, 2020

And thus we move to the first round of the BLEERGH Regional. For all hail the BLEERGH Regional. It was the BLEERGH Regional, after all, that Sharkbait's comment last year came out of. Granted, being the top overall seed meant it had the first choice of regional names. As opposed

Your 2020 Banner Madness Day 2 Thread

Senor Weaselo - March 2, 2020March 1, 2020

Don't ask me to come up with more creative things. I don't know how BrandyBroBrady does it. But anyway, we continue in the GAMBLOR Regional with the other half of the bracket. At the least it means the first round'll go 8 days and not forever. Also looking at it

Banner Madness 2020: Yes, It’s Happening Again

Senor Weaselo - March 1, 2020February 29, 2020

Yes, it's back, and not even in pog form! Who remembers last March where this was a staple every day, running me a little ragged and inadvertently flooding the site with more #content? (Which is why I originally wanted to put them on the sidebar, but it got bumped to

Senor Weaselo - February 8, 2020February 8, 2020

Evening lizard people. It's your friendly neighborhood Senor Weaselo getting to throw it back just a little to the "bands we like" genre of the usual Saturday Evening Post threads. Because fuck it, it's Saturday night, let's listen to some tunes! Well, except it's not bands we like. Or bands

Or as it's better known, Pepsi Presents The Superb Owl Halftime Show. https://www.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/345b1fd0-3f82-4972-ab59-630c9b233555 No but seriously, it actually is sponsored by Pepsi. Also Frinkiac wasn't playing nice with the length of the quote. Where to begin, where to begin! I guess we can start with the performers. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. Now, I

The Next Annual BattleBots Beaties

Senor Weaselo - October 17, 2019October 17, 2019

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, we reminded ourselves that the Montreal Screwjob is not good for your business. Especially if it wasn't scripted in the first place! This week it's the BattleBots Beaties, the part where I try to get these out before BattleBots Update so I at

BattleBots Beat: Ode to a Giant Robot

Senor Weaselo - October 10, 2019October 9, 2019

Welcome back to the Beat! This week should be the Beaties, a nice wrap-up (except for the bonus fights) and at least cromulent award post, even though there aren't any good fasteners left to have as awards. Nuts and bolts are from BattleBots, the Giant Screw was a joke award,

BattleBots Beat: Eight Bots Enter, One Bot Leaves

Senor Weaselo - October 3, 2019October 3, 2019

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, HyperShock was hoisted on its own petard, Son of Whyachi actually got revenge, and Cobalt had good enough DI to not get killed off the top by Minotaur's up smash, even if it still lost the fight. And then after press time

Way Too Many Words on the Jets at the Bye: A Jets at the Bye Post

Senor Weaselo - September 24, 2019September 23, 2019

Can I count those as way too many words? I mean I'll ramble to get to the minimum because this is me. Hmm, what to say considering I've watched about one half of Jets football. The Jets decided to take a page from the most successful team in New York, the

BattleBots Beat: The 25-Bot Bracket (…Kinda)

Senor Weaselo - September 19, 2019September 19, 2019

Hi everyone, welcome back to the Beat! Last week, Brazil beat the FC-named team, Bite Force went a ho-hum 4-0, and Hydra grabbed the torch from Bronco. This week, it's a special playoff thing, but it's not the top 16! The powers that be that is known as the BattleBots Tournament
