I know what mechs are. And I ain’t watching all that.

Absolutely. Humanoid robots would be effective because we live in a world suited for humanoids.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go put some water in Buck Nasty’s mama’s dish.

I think it’s more likely that insurance companies just wouldn’t insure them.

Isn’t the hitchhiker like one of the most famous ghost archetypes?
