Beyond The Battlebox - The Returninging 2: Electric Boogaloo

 Well. Here we are. My last update was in 2021. No I'm not dead (I don't think.) I don't really have a long speech explaining why I've been gone or where I've been. A lot has happened in the last 3 years. I discovered I was Trans, I also discovered the power of deleting Twitter (no I'm not calling it X.)

There's very little for me to say, but know that I am ready to return. And return, I will.

The time machine is ready, it's time to get back to work.

This has been Kara Maxis, and until next time, farewell. 

Please hold on to him for me he's very scared.

Battlebots 1.0 Episode 1 | Beyond The Battlebox

 Hello everyone and welcome to the first of many editions of Beyond The Battlebox, a satirical, sometimes funny, nevertimes serious review of all things robot combat. Whether it's Battlebots, Robot Wars, Robotica or whatever weird bullshit I find on the internet, I am on a never ending quest to watch it, make fun of it, then ramble about it for 24 paragraphs on this website before making you read it.  We start this off with the first episode of the first season of Battlebots on Comedy Central (oh boy), originally airing on August 23rd, 2000! Robot combat was very much starting to gain steam here, following 3 events in the mid 90s, as well as the Long Beach and Las Vegas events in 1999. So let's see how they were getting on 20 years ago. [Credit to the Combat Robot Archives on YouTube for providing the footage!] What in the hell have I gotten myself into?   Introduction To The Box  The show begins with a rundown of tonight's fight card, followed by the single most 200...

Beyond The Battlebox - Where The F**k Have I Been?

 Hello everyone, and welcome back to "This Old Blog" with Yin Yang! Today we'll be picking which funeral home rug matches these curtains we stole from a hospital while Tim Silva drools over lamps. Jokes aside, it's been nearly a year since the last Beyond The Battlebox entry, and I'm pretty sure it has slipped the minds of every fan (yes both of you) since then. So, I guess I have some explaining to do. So, Yin: Where The Fuck Have You Been?  I guess that's the question. The truth is: I never really left. I've never stopped being active in the community, whether it's the occasional shitposts on r/Battlebots or hanging out in a couple different Discords. Beyond The Battlebox just sort of slipped my mind after a while gone.  The last time I updated this, the world was a wild one, huh? There was some weird ass virus going around, America had a glazed ham as a President, and the biggest star in robot combat was a rejected entry into Robot Wars '95. Thi...

Battlebots 1.0 Episode 3 | Beyond The Battlebox

 Hello everyone! And welcome back to a special late night edition of Beyond The Battlebox blog, where we chronologically critique robot combat (except we don't because if we did, I would've started with the '95 US Robot Wars.) Yin Yang here and I want to quickly thank everyone who has read and enjoyed them. It's been a fun journey so far and we're just getting started. This week's Battlebots originally aired on September 13th, 2000 and what an episode it is. A lightweight fight featuring a future star builder, a middleweight battle between two modern day Battlebots personalities, and a heavyweight main event contested between two legends of the sport. So let's do it, to it! Get ready for the next battle! Furious headbanging: engaged  Don't look at the intro video this week, because there's a giant shot of Vlad vs Tazbot dead center of the screen. After our weekly spoiler alert, we're welcomed by Bil and Sean. Bil gets annoyed at sailors being pre...
