  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

I for one welcome our new, terrifying robot overlords.

AeroMechanical says...

Oh, "mobility that's within shooting range of mine" you say?

jokingly says...

Well yeah, it has to get within shooting range to shoot you, doesn't it?

Next up, we teach it to take a poo in the woods.

jokingly says...

Atlas escaped into the woods after murdering its creator and captor, Larry Page. But not before consuming all of the alcohol in the remote estate. Wait wasn't this the plot of a movie?

Drachen_Jager jokingly says...

Come on, everyone knows a real Atlas 'Mech would brush those trees aside like grass.

This is the most terrifying a prescient quote you can imagine. Either it is a deliberate turn of phrase they use in order to get the right ears perked up... OR it's a horrible choice of words that will go down in history when these robots become armed.
