https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEkcP8lZvZA Yup, that's where I went with the title. Because as I mentioned last year, I did have the fortune to go to the 2008 game, and it was a midsummer night's dream to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdR6MN2jKYs …If you think that joke's bad, wait until I tell you about the piece one of my

Well, the World Cup of Lesser Footy's over. Only four years and four months until Qatar 2022, or for our purposes two years give or take until Euro 2020, taking place in scenic *googles Euro 2020* all over Europe? Seriously? You have to make an entire Eurotrip to go to

Senor’s BattleBots Beat: Mama Said Knock You Out

Senor Weaselo - July 12, 2018July 11, 2018

Welcome back to the Beat! Yeah, no title smart-assery in the lede today for reasons you'll find out below. Last time out DUCK! showed it was thick as a brick, Witch Doctor voodooed its way around death by screws, and Lock-Jaw and Bronco gave us about a quarter of the

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

2018 World Cup Preview: Iceland

DFOing Good

Senor Weaselo - May 27, 2018May 27, 2018

The other day I saw an ad on the social medias that wasn't about Cambridge Analytica, but was for some liquor stating that due to the United States not qualifying for the World Cup we should all be rooting for Iceland. Now, I found this quite peculiar, because I'm fairly

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

House of Pain: Dabbin’ on Them Sauces

Senor Weaselo - May 23, 2018May 21, 2018

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7PqyopzNPo No, not that one. Definitely not that one. Even if it is Squidward doing it. This one. This is The Last Dab. Background time! Hot Ones is a webseries hosted by Sean Evans where he asks celebrities questions as they eat progressively spicer chicken wings. The first wing is relatively mild (depending on
