Hoo'd Win! Part One of these things has a game, the other has dials.

[thebitterguy]

You know, theoretically I could do a big long shpiel about robots and werewolves, linking to their wikipedia entries (okay, I'll do that), doing a half assed Micheal Blummer impression and generally acting like this is serious or not or something in between.

But instead, I just say this: watch the video, and vote. Vote like your lives depend on it!

I think that in all fairness to the werewolf, you need to specify the type of robot. Robocop? Sure, the wolf's got a chance. Ridley Scott standard issue power armour? Robot. Gundam? Nooooo. Eva? Fuck no.

[thebitterguy]

That's the beauty of Hoo'd win. The question contains other questions inside it!

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

What show is that from? I'm afraid I don't recognize it...

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

All kinds of awesome.

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

Oooo... thank you!

And good timing too! There's an episode on WGN in about 45 minutes.

[thebitterguy]

So, what did you think?

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

VERY funny!! I've got the DVR set to record it every night... and in a wonderful coincidence, the episode that aired last night was the very first one!

[thebitterguy]

Excellent! It's a fun little show. The last season finale was very well put together.

I have to go with werewolves, because as a previous commenter said, it depends on the type of robot. I can't see the robot from "lost in space" defeating a werewolf for example.

[athelind.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you have to specify the kind of werewolf, too. If it's just the sort that turns into an ordinary wolf -- no silver immunity, no supernatural speed, no regeneration, no claws capable of tearing through steel -- even that old B-9 model is going to come oout on top.

He shot LIGHTNING BOLTS from those flailing claws, you know.

[lab-brat.livejournal.com]

well you have a point there. lol

ooh and we should probably consider whether or not the werewolves are in human or wolf form too. *has probably been thinking about this too much*

[thebitterguy]

That's the beauty of Hoo'd Win, though. You can't really overthink it. The conflict you imagine is the conflict you vote on.

[lowercaseem.livejournal.com]

Is your robot made of silver?

No?

Didn't think so.

(PostScriptum. the "sh" sound is part of the pronunciation of the word "spiel" and the heckstra haitch makes you seem heckstravagant.)

[thebitterguy]

Really? I was gonna write it "schpielle".

[granolademonic.livejournal.com]

Damn, I totally thought of a showdown recently that struck me as worthy of a Hoo'd Win, and now I've forgotten it... pity.

[thebitterguy]

That is sort of my life, day to day.

[kinra.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how hard that question was for me. Robots and Werewolves are each tops in my book, but I think my technofetishist side won out ever-so-slightly.

I mean, Hulk is just a big green werewolf, all told. Iron Man is just a robot wrapped around a human. And those Hulkbuster fights have gone both ways, I think.

[autobotsrollout.livejournal.com]

Yes, but most recently, Hulk has kicked Iron Man's ass. And comprehensively. So we should not make werewolves angry.

[lynne-h.livejournal.com]

Exactly! You've seen Dog Soldiers, right?

[kinra.livejournal.com]

Quite conclusively, yes! Due for a rematch at some point, I should say...

[thebitterguy]

You shouldn't use "Hulk" and "just" in the same sentence, though.

[rbowspryte.livejournal.com]

Regular Werewolf or Master Werewolf? I presumed master.

[thebitterguy]

Then your presumption is correct. The conflict that you choose is the conflict that gets voted on.

[tymen.livejournal.com]

Terminator kicks Werewolf ass.

[lynne-h.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but technnically he's a cyborg not a robot ;)
