I am kind of confused that there is no thread about it here yet:

A week ago, the American Megabots Inc. have created a giant battle robot and released a video of it.

As if this wasn't awesome enough already, they challenged the only other giant robot in existence, the Japanese Kuratas (by Suidobashi Heavy Industries) to a FRIGGIN' GIANT ROBOT DUELL : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVJTGLL2SnI

And it gets even better: Suidobashi have answered, and they accept the challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u8mheM2Hrg&feature=youtu.be

So, this is the sport of the future then? Giant robots beating the living crap out of each other?

I am OK with that. Cool

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

If you love giant robots fighting like I do,I recommend you watching a cartoon called "Megas XLR".Too bad it got cancelled after season 2 due to lack of attention.It was being aired on Cartoon Network during 2005-2007.

You can check it out with an internet search engine(I loathe when people say "Google it".It is like they get paid by that company to advertise).

Came in expecting topic about Aldous Huxley; left disappointed*.

*not entirely, giant robots fighting is aces

New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.

Want to make New Eden a nice place? Try this out.

Well, actually the line is from Shakespeare's "The Tempest"- Mr Huxley was just quoting him.

And what's more Shakespearian nowadays than giant robots fighting?

YOU DIG GIANT ROBOTS! I DIG GIANT ROBOTS! CHICKS DID GIANT ROBOTS!

I loved that show.

In a few moments you will have an experience that will seem completely real. It will be the result of your subconscious fears transformed to your conscious awareness.

I didn't even know it before, but currently I am at episode 3 already (It's on kisscartoon)- it's pretty cool, actually.

(By the way, the first 2 new episodes from Rick & Morty Season 2 are also on kisscartoon.me)

Robot's the wrong word because they're "piloted" by a human, which makes them mechs.

Other than that, I for one welcome our new mech overlords.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
