Confused? Here's the basic premise: It's a badger on a harness, and when you point it at people it wrecks their shop until they die from it. Congratulations, Running With Scissors, enjoy it in good health.

Was this playable at the show?

This deserves a real-life replica.

Personally I would have given it to the rocket launcher thing you can make in Fallout 3 that shoots junk.... namely teddy bears

Amazing.
I live in the country - I might actually do that - I have the raw materials, now all I need are a few rabies shots.
The world WILL be mine!

I think the best weapon at the show was the wiimote and nunchuck during Wii Music drum playing. You could totally bludgeon a mother with that thing.

I'd suggest strangling personally.

That is f'ing hilarious! Action figure time.

You obviously didn't see the custom made weapon that kills people with lunch boxes and teddy bears in Fallout 3.

An accolade truly earned.
TrojanGuy @ Jul 17th 2008 8:20PM
Honey badger!
blah @ Jul 17th 2008 9:40PM
Top Gear reference? +1 for you my friend :D
The honey badger goes straight for the testicles for anyone who doesnt know the reference. Jeremy Clarkson = Legend.

Reminds me of that "Far Side" comic where the guy had the catapult that shot dogs.
Chris Are @ Jul 17th 2008 8:47PM
And let me guess: when one cycles through the weapons, this little number is pulled out of no where along with the hand gun, rifle, rocket launcher, etc? Pulling a bunch of guns out of a jacket makes sense, but you're telling me this guy is running around w/ a badger on a harness inside his jacket? Now that's just silly! :-)
Benny @ Jul 17th 2008 9:07PM
Actually, I prefer to keep my badger in my pants.
Max Headroom @ Jul 17th 2008 9:09PM
As funny as this is, and as cool as Fallout's Teddy Bear Launcher was, I think the prize should have gone to Mercenaries 2's Tactical Nuke. Pure awesomeness.

LOL, I recognized Justin's writing in the second paragraph having not seen the by line.
