OK, this is going to sound really prepubescent, but does anyone else think that the Plasma Rifle looks a touch... well... phallic?

I hadn't noticed this, but now you mention it...as for the riot prod

BTW, you must've/would've (strike if not applicable - THWACK) loved "The body of the many" from SS2.

Actually, you've got me thinking. (insert smart remark here) Is there a weapon that isn't phallic, in application if not design? I mean in so-called real life, btw.

OK, now you're just being way too Freudian...
As for the Body Of The Many, I seriously never really looked at the plethora of oriphices in quite that way. Possibily because I really really hate that level in a "It's cool, but I'll get sleeted with radiation, squlched into paste, electrocuted, poisoned, and smashed to bits atleast thirty times before I make it to the end" sort of way.
But I was just looking at the visible model for the Plasma Rifle and I thought "Oo-er missus, wouldn't tie my shoelace near one of them." Same deal with the Quake 1 Rocket launcher... Not meaning to be lude or anything, but it just looked like Dr Evil's Spaceship...

This is how I felt about Hydroponics first time I made it there. I always choose hack/tech first time I play any game, so I'm sure you could imagine how much fun I had towards the end of this...
