Lovely.

Worms...so delicious a game series.

Man, wouldn't a Wii installment rule most excellently? Using the Wiimote to aim your bazooka, throw your banana bombs, shoot your dragon balls?

[15357]

Oh Christ...Uh, Numbers, you do know that was a dildo right?

Oh....


Oooooohhhhhh............




Never realized. D:

[Flyingdebris]

[Raxxman]

hyperblaster in dead rising.

Tennis balls ftw! :)

The borer in the hardware shop. hitting a zombie in the chest, picking his body up and watching it spin as you use him as a battering ram. Weird but wonderful.

Always liked the mailstrike in worms

crowbar

[Bob_Marley]

Gyrojet carbine/pistol: Brigade E5: New Jagged Union
Cerebral Bore: Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (also one of the coolest weapons ever)
Injector (or whatever it was): Timesplitters: Future Perfect
Spore launcher: Half Life: Opposing Force
Rocket Propelled Hippo: Worms Forts
Concerete Donkey: Worms series
Auto rocket rifle: Jagged Alliance 2
Infested Terran: Starcraft
Arclite EMP cannon: Hostile Waters: Anteus Rising (wierd because it was almost completley useless apart from the one mission where you have to use it.)
CIA Deer Gun: Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business: SOG '69. A 9mm pistol with 1 shot in each "magazine". Realistic but utterly useless. One of the reasons I always hire Fox when playing SOG. And it looks like a glue gun.

[Sparda]

Dan's Arm - MediEvil

[CrazyHarij]

Here's my little list :D

7. Sheep, Worms series
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/38/Worms1_screenshot.jpg
Back when this game series still was good, the sheep was the most unusual weapon of all, and easily the best one when you need to get rid of a badly positioned enemy worm. What is more humiliating than be killed by something that emits "Baa!" before it goes off?

6. Barnacle, Half-Life: Opposing Force
http://media.gamespy.com/columns/image/July01_weapons_08.jpg
A prime example of the "bad guy gone good" phenomenon which we've seen abit of in the Half-Life storyline,
the barnacle proved an excellent weapon in opposing force, enabling you to scale walls and.. eat your enemies.

5. Disruptor rifle, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
http://strategy.jediknight.net/jka/images/disruptor1.jpg

Not so much an odd weapon in the way it's used as in the way it kills people. Zoom in on an enemy, and pull the trigger. Gone. Poof. It does what it says on the tin, it desintegrates people, leaving a smoking trail of ash as the only proof someone was ever there.

4. Redeemer, Unreal Tournament series
http://www.unreal-info.net/ut2004/images/redeemer.jpg

Who doesn't love this? BOOM sums it up quite nicely.
No matter what you do with it, you're bound to kill something with it, just pull the trigger and hope it's not yourself.

3. Gravity Gun, Half-Life 2
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/c/c1/Hammerphyscannon.jpg

What, 3rd spot? Yes, everyone can agree that the gravity gun is one of the most innovative weapons in the history of gaming, but I didn't actually use it that much in game. I think it's part of the whole gaming for a long time, you sort of go, why switch to the grav gun when you can just shoot someone? I used it alot in Gmod I guess, and it's a hell of a lot of fun in deathmatch. There's something VERY satisfying about killing someone with a toilet.

2. Banana, No one lives forever 2
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v730/CrazyHarij/nolfbanan.jpg

****, who didn't use this in game? Not much can be said about it, people slip on it! :D It can be used anytime, when you're outnumbered, outgunned, or just want to set a trap for a possible foe. I found most use of it in The Evil Alliance mission where you have to sneak your way through. As well as when you're out of weapons and the hilarious police is chasing you around in the first India level, and also where you meet Crazy Harij, the inspiration for my nick name :D

And lastly..
1. Lightsaber, Jedi Knight series
http://www.lucasarts.com/products/outcast/images/screens/52.jpg

Not odd in the star wars franchise, but certainly odd within the context of most games.
This thing justified using a single weapon throughout a whole game, and rightly so. The lightsaber is a shining beacon of.. ass kicking.
It put a worthy battle against sith, and tore ordinary enemies to shreds. It's cool, lethal, and above all, fun. Not something you pull up when you encounter a difficult boss, or just for the novelty of cutting someone in half. You keep it on from the moment you acquire it to the end of the game. That must say something about it's greatness, or is it just a gamers desperate need of an adequate phallus extension?

[Samon]
