Drunken Robot Pornography (DRP): You're a small, fleshy human

dwarfs a city block. The robot -- called a Titan -- tries to cut you
apart with lasers and missiles powerful enough power to crumble the
buildings you're standing on. [Pick off the Titan's cannons, fry away
its carbon fiber armor, target a joint, and tear off a claw, leaving it
writhing.] Your furious opponent spews raw plasma at you, so you [shoot
up] a force field and duck behind it. Who will win? The crowd cheers
your [intimate-yet-deadly] dance. Having introduced a playable
prototype to PAX East '12 convention-goers to good effect, Dejobaan
