Artist Daniel Nyari (of famous robots fame) has just created this print of famous weapons from video games, comic characters, and movies. I'm not really sure how Tetris blocks (tetrominoes) count as weapons, but I suppose if you beat somebody in the head with one it would hurt, so I'll allow it. How many of the weapons can you name? I named SIX. "You're an embarrassment." My village shunned me and threw rocks until I left.

Hit the jump for closeups of each section, but head over to Daniel's Society6 shop for prints.

Thanks to PYY, who tried to tell me the most powerful weapon in the world is language even though I would take burning laser vision over being able to communicate any day.

    In word news, 'fanboy' has officially been added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. That's the entry there in the picture. Weird they didn't mention anything about Apple or video games. Oh, and as you can see they claim the word dates back to 1919. Which I find a little har... / Continue →

    Back to 4chan with you! Lol, gj. Though, I'm pretty sure what you're thinking is LotR is really a sonic ring...it has more of an 8bit look to it.

  • I have a confession to make. I read the text on the bottom of the first image. It specifies it as the LOTR ring. Otherwise though, I would agree with you on the Sonic Ring because it does look like that.

  • About 29, if I include the couple I know which genre/medium, but not the name of the specific game/show or cartoon/anime. And a couple more I recognize, but I don't know from where.

  • Derek

    The black shield everyone is referring to is actually Kung Lao's blade hat from Mortal Kombat - http://mkc.honmaru.pl/game_mk9...

  • No Sonic Screwdriver? Boo.

  • That's a tool, not a weapon.

  • Sir-Reginald72

    A pokeball is a weapon???

  • no BFG-9000 or any other weapons from Doom, Quake, Wolfstein 3D... and even worst, there are not Tanks from Starcraft... pfff nubby!

  • NutSpark

    Last one on the poster with them all is the BFG-9000.

  • Glenn Vliegen

    Black shield is H.A.L. 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey I think..

  • Justin

    Is the samurai sword from samurai jack?

  • Odd that Tetris is included...

  • NoveltyFishHead
