Feb 18 2009No Friends: Robot Plays Paper Rock Scissors
'Berti' is a humanoid robot that was designed and programmed to mimic hand gestures and play paper rock scissors. I want to smash his athletic cup of a face in with a rock. And then tear his fingers off. And then plant them in a cup of Wendy's chili and sue for free Frosties. Oh yeah, who wants a Frostie? Good, get me one too. AND A JR. BACON CHEESEBURGER! Awh sookie sookie. I don't have to make sense, I make dollars, son. Six an hour. I'm saving for a bike!

Thanks to Romeo, who once punched a Terminator in the face but it did that melty liquid metal thing and so it didn't really do any damage. Still, good effort.

Don't worry GW. It looks like the eggheads still have a long way to go before making a Cromartie.

paper rock scissors?
excuse me, its ROCK paper scissors, as we all know rock is the best of the three, and it is unfathomable that it could ever be beaten by a paltry piece of paper. rock smash paper. and scissors. PERIOD.

this robot is something interesting but completely useless.
13. Timbo - February 18, 2009 4:07 PM
@ Mike ...Everybody know that once you ewrap a rock in paper it renders it completely useless. Nay...unexistable
Period.

#11 & #13 - what do periods have to do with this article?
That's just gross.
Also, GW is that you in the pic? Because that would be awesome.

Come on, and end your damn lonely life!!

FAKE!!!!
Thisi si a complete photoshop job. YOu can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was investigating a murder and suspected that it was committed by a robot, even though they are programmed with 3 basic rules to prevent them from hurting anyone.

@ #13
#19 knows what I'm talkin bout. so as per Todd Wolfhouse in Beerfest.....
SHUT THE F**K UP
besides, what the f*** does ewrap mean anyways?
23. bust it - February 19, 2009 2:09 AM
rock, paper, VIRGIN!
it's sad...yet i'd challenge it given the chance...and probably beat it so hard that it would somehow develop droid feelings and cry. that's just how good i am.
why is it playing against Nick Zinner from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs though...?

@GW
You guys at anticlown should think of implementing a comment spam button like on Youtube - that way when someone strongly recommends a place to meet millionaires users can vote it as spam to hide the message & I won't have to shoot myself in the face with my own piss.

I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them.
I prefer Rock, Paper, Scissors, FOOTSTOMP. Kinda hard to win when you're falling and grasping for your foot in pain...
27. OtterMan - February 19, 2009 2:54 PM
Otter beats rock. Otter also beats scissors and paper. Nothing beats Otter. That is all.

If you lose to the robot does it kill you?

Ahem, it's not 'paper rock scissors', it's 'rock paper scissors'.
