Magnetic Hammer Launcher: Upon activation the MHR Launches a heavy Electro-magnetic hyperboloid canister which, upon impact, Sticks to its target and immediately draws all ferromagnetic objects in the area to it, causing massive blunt damage, lacerations, in many cases punctures, and almost always severe pulverization and/or mastication of upwards of 60 percent of soft targets.
Most damage caused by “The Hammer” is not done by the hammer itself, or its activation, but by the surrounding ferromagnetic substances abrupt attraction to the hammer on activation, and/or the whiplash lack of attraction shortly afterwords when the hammer is often critically damaged/destroyed by incoming debris.
Notable debris that will encase the target upon activation is:
[ul][li]Re-bar reinforced concrete in approximately a small intersection sized area including building supports, roads, bridges, columns, and piers.[/li]
[li]Semi-large metal objects such as barrels, railings, tables, street lamps and other metallic objects commonly found along sidewalks, and metal shelving[/li]
[li]Small metal objects, such as knives, guns, armor; door handles screws, nails, brackets, hinges, and braces from surrounding buildings[/li]
[li]Bebris/objects attached to or in the way of metal objects[/li][/ul]
Other commonly used names:
The Hammer, The Crusher, Ban Hammer, Portable Grinder, Make-a-Lump, The Pill, Portable Implosion Machine, Shuffle Button.
Common phrases in regards to “The Hammer:”
“If it doesn’t come to you, you will come to it.”
“Note: not to be used anywhere near areas, people, or objects you have, or are thinking about having sentiments for.”
Note: Cases have been reported where Large stable metal objects with no notable debris resulted in “The Hammer” making its original impact, activating, and then slamming into the large object, only to pull the target shortly afterwords back to it causing a second notable impact. This often results the targets body ‘shielding’ “The Hammer” until sufficient debris is pulled in to destroy the target and Hammer.

No obviously that makes you a devil worshiper capable of summoning demons.

There needs to be a way to repopulate the species. Add an option to kiss people and large animals or zombies to make them pregnant.

Has anyone else seen the Alien movies recently? They taught me so much!

Testing the sword for vorpal has a 50/50 chance of testing correct, with no sign of which it is.

You can find bobble-head dolls and install them in a tile with vehicle controls. You can have as many as you want in a single tile and every one adds a cumulative +1 morale bonus while you are on that tile and the vehicle is moving.

Well, this isn’t such a bad idea. Apart from them stacking. Just one more morale is a funny boost. (bloaty as f however).

In the future EVERYONE uses portals for EVERYTHING. Top ten uses of portals include getting the TV remote on the other side of the room, getting to work on time, getting away from the in-laws, and doing FUN™ things.
You can frequently find them on zombies/ corpses, in the trash, in the sewers, the banks, the stores, anywhere that sells electronics, sporting gear, or tools for the lazy and more!
Fixed.

And all your atoms get deconstructed at the one portal to get reconstructed at the other. Secretly you die each time you use the portal, but your mind doesn’t realize it.
