RoboRaptor

Okay, so I've been feeling pretty down of late. My wife, in all her wisdom, went out and bought me <a href='http://www.roboraptoronline.com/' target='_blank'>the RoboRaptor!</a> This thing is from the same makers as the RoboSapien.

Oh, it isn't a sony Aibo or an Asimo. No, no...it is just a toy. And it can pretty much only walk around, growl, snap at things and walk into the occaissional wall. However, I also have the older <a href='http://www.wowwee.com/catalog/rc_trex.html' target='_blank'>Remote Controlled T-Rex!</a>. As soon as I scrape up enough money to buy batteries to power the dang things I'm going to stage a re-enactment of Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla.

If only it shot real death lasers from its eyes...

While in Best Buy this weekend shopping for DVDs, I saw a kid pitching an absolute hissy-fit because his daddy wouldn't shell out 120 bucks for the RoboRaptor. Brat... :bah:

True story.

A couple months ago I really wanted to buy a Robosapien. But my account was almost empty, so I sat down on the tiled floor, held my breath til my face was red, and cried like a baby. I stomped my feet and threatened to bite any pimply-faced clerk that tried to approach me. I kept crying it wasn't fair, then I threw pens at the fat lady that was laughing.
Then I got bored, got up and left. Still don't have my Robosapien.

Children today are spoiled and don't know the meaning of $120. Ass monkies. It pisses me off to no end when parents cave in to a child behaving like that.

Me? While my wife and I were looking at home electronics and stuff at Best Buy I just kept carrying it around with me. And then I named him 'Stan'.

My God I wish I had an army of these suckers.

My children will play with sharp sticks and matches. Just like daddy did.

Scars add character.

If they are lazy shits you could always try Maddox's way and force scarring... thought this might be fitting:

i sell those things at work 120 bucks but only 80 dollars with employee discount. I would never buy one, but parents buy them for snotty little kids all the time

Anyone have any experience with the i-Cybie?

In a nutshell, it's a $200 robotic dog as opposed to Sony's $1,500 Aibo.

I think this may be on my Christmas wish list...
