i done killed plenty of people with the klobb

I also generally reserve the green shell for firing out the back rather than the front

The sword in dead rising is just for the light

Hey Matt3w, good to see you again. Where you been at?

I don't really agree with that list at all. Green shells were obviously not as good a red, but still very useful if you know how to, and when, to fire them. As Fetid says, great for the backwards shot icon_smile.gif

As to the Klobb it was only crap compared to the other awesome guns, if you bad mouth the klobb why not the frikin Timed mine? Or hand grenade? Or watch laser!!!!

edit: lol, Matth3w, Fetid, Benza, JP... I wonder how many times that post combination has occured? icon_lol.gif

edit: to make benz happy

The Klobb justified itself as a valid addition to the arsenal simply for it's low damage - made it so much more fun to torture scientists and guards.

Massive WTF to green shell hate, too - someone just sucks at MK I reckon.

The green shell did have this weird pattern of rebounding back. But it was still useful. I would rate the pistol in Halo 2 and 3 as being the most useless.

Obviously that list is nonsense, why did they include the toy laser sword from Dead Rising? It's not a weapon, but can be used as one.

Green shell? That weapon is amazing.

Really? The human pistol in 2/3 was great for headshotting unshielded opponents. But I guess when compared to all the other weapons it is the most unnecessary.

Technically, every video game weapon is useless, since they're all virtual.

*trollface*

Ah, the dangers of posting a video game related list online. Everyone is quick to point out that you forgot their favourite thing that fits in the list's category.

Raphael's sais were pretty crap, though.

how about one of those water pistols from eat lead icon_razz.gif - those were pretty fun , the hand guns in it at times were complete ass along with a few other guns ... anyone played head hunter ? should dig deep if we want to get an idea of a proper list , hell why not start with red faction 1 - that had some shit guns .

Yep, the movie is a lot better than a lot of people gave it credit for. The lack of Shredder was kind of a bummer but it was still a fun flick.
