Better late than never...
01010000 01100001 01110010 01110011 01101111 01101110 00001101 00001010 (Parson) – A bit of consternation from this one, as I enjoyed it, but felt as though I was missing something. I like the feeling though of some things being outside a robots understanding, and the fact that it is recycled instead of being destroyed outright.
01100100 01101001 01100111 01110011 00001101 00001010 (digs)- Something almost human in a machine that is just fulfilling a purpose. It’s quite a clever tale, something that is both cold and isolated and warm and touching at the same time.
01010100 01001010 (TJ) – Quite a brilliantly grim piece this one. It really gets across the idea of a robot being little more than a machine subject to the whims and commands of those that created it. But, there is also the sense of apprehension in that there might be something there that is more than just a machine and that at some point, remembering all that has been done to it might come home. Remember to be nice to the washing machine from now on.
01000111 01100001 01110010 01111001 00100000 (Gary) – What could have been a lot of fun, two robots kicking the daylights out of one another, instead pulled on the heartstrings. Seen from the perspective of the loser it gives the impression that there might be a bit more going on than just a machine being torn apart.
01010101 01110010 01110011 01100001 00100000 (Ursa) – As always a very clever one from Ursa. It seemed to be almost mechanical in presentation. Decisive sentences that were short and to the point, the world and a role in it, through machine eyes. The final line said to me so much, something that encapsulated everything a robot is.

Seems that so many of them are out to wipe poor old humanity from the face of the world. Well it gives fun stories for one and conveys a warning too I guess. (Definitely be nice to the washing machine) Well presented with a harsh logic and cold but terminal end.
01000011 01110101 01101100 00100000 (Cul) – I didn’t know where this was going, which is always fun, but the last few words gave a great punch to the story and set up a nice what if feeling, or even a why hadn’t he included those words. Would it make the creation better or worse. Great mix of Golem mythology with robots.
