I know, I know, you’re sick of the Dead Space posts, right? Well, I’m not, and that’s what really matters, right?
Moving on, I discovered my new favorite video game weapon of all time tonight: the “ripper.” It’s basically a saw blade that’s held a few feet in front of you with a laser or something while it chews up everything it comes in contact with. It’s vaguely reminiscent of Half-Life 2′s Gravity Gun/saw blade duo, except way more awesome.
Don’t believe me? Come over to my apartment and I’ll show you. I’m making a mock-up out of cereal boxes and masking tape.

I don’t know, nothing beats launching a spinning saw blade at a headcrab zombie and seeing their torso pop off their legs like a cartoon banana out of its peel.
I just think with the graphics and scariness of DS, the ripper’s a little more powerful.
The secondary fire mode looks pretty bad-ass!
