With Christmas around the corner, we're looking for gifts to give to friends, family, and co-workers. Sometimes our favorite stores can be out of stock. Sometimes that handmade item didn't quite turn out like we thought it would. Sometimes we get just plain desperate for gifts to give. After all, Amazon isn't going to get your that delivery until after December 25 now.
Under no circumstances, however, should we turn to these types of video game items. These shouldn't be used for stocking stuffers. They shouldn't be used for White Elephant gifts. They should just be relegated to the "discard" pile in our character's inventory for a variety of in-game reasons.
10 Poison Mushroom (Super Mario Bros. ༒Series)
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario Bros. 2, first released only in Japan, was extremely tough. It was almost unfair and aimed at killing the player in the most infuriating ways. One of those ways was the poison mushroom. In the first game, the mushroom would 🎀power you up. In Super Mario Bros. 2? Oh, it would kill you.
👍We think killing someone makes it a pretty terrible gift, especially since there are so many excellent non-lethal mushrooms out𝓀 there. Whose idea was it to put one of these things in a question mark box anyways?
9 ♏ Iron Dagger (Skyrim)
We have all tried to move along the fast lane to blacksmith mastery in Skyrim. As a result of this, we end up crafting tons of iron daggers. Some people sell them back to vendors and some people pile them up in a corner somewhere, resulting in a ridiculous pile of metal. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:In a game with plenty of items, iron daggers are the Starbucks coffee cup of items - they are everywhere.
If we have a bunch of them an♒d if we give a bunch of them away for Christmas, it will only take a few relatives to realize we’re just trying to unload a bunch of useless metal on people we don’t like.
8 Cigarettes (Me💯tal Gear Solid)
These cigarettes won’t be good gifts for kids or really anyone else. The cigs in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metal Gear Solid areꩲ used to see laser beams and could be used 𓆉to help with aiming long-range weapons at the cost of health.
Ugh. What a lame item. Something that actually hurts you for what, a small ability boost? It’s the less invasive version of Super Mario Bros. Poison Mushroom. Even if they꧟ are Solid Snake’s favorite brand, this is a gift worse than coal.
7 �🧔� Golf Club (Dead Rising)
Surely a club designed for swinging should be the perfect weapon in a zombie game? Nope. The game designers of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dead Rising deci𝄹ded to have the weapon be you hit🔜ting golf balls at zombies.
This is incredibly hard to aim and does almost no damage. So while golf clubs in the real world might be a great gift foꦍr dad, it’s a worthless gift in the Dead Rising universe since we&rsq﷽uo;d just much rather have a chainsaw. Maybe Dead Rising should just stick to katana wielding.
6 Wirt’s Leg (Diablo 2) ♕
Sure, Wirt was a pain in most players’ side in the first Diablo. Sure, he would overcharge for items and the gambling aspect of his store could leave you holding the bag on some bad items. But the kid did not deserve the fate that awaited him in Diablo 2, which is widely considered the best𒁃 o⭕f the Diablo games. Wirt is relegated to a corpse when the player visits Tristram, players will find his ꦗleg which can be used as a club.
We don’t think this is something you want to wrap and place under the Christmas tree. Don’t worry though, considering Blizzard has used Wirt’s Leg in other video games like Warcraft 3 and Heroes of the Storm, let's just consider it already under use.
5 Radroach Meat (Fallout Series) 🦩
We don't like the idea that radroaches are gigantic bugs that can attack you in the world of Fallout. We also are gro🍨ssed out that things in the wastelands of Fal☂lout are so bad that they have radroach meat as edible food.
Radroach meat is also radioactive, so anyone who gets this as a gift and chows down wil🦹l be getting a dose of DNA-killing rays. So just stick to giving them some Holiday Fruitcake. 𝔉It’s less creepy crawly.
4 Lucky Pants (Dest🍰iny 2)
As a kid, getting clothes as a Christmas gift was a huge letdown. Getting clothes as a reward for completing a story mission in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny 2? We would rather have gotten cologne. The perks are rather lame for this item and in a gran𒉰d, sweeping world where humans fight off the forces of darkness, lucky pants seem like a complete waste.
They also don’t look like they would be particularly comfortable or protec🐈tive at all. We will stick with flannel PJs for the Secret Santa Gift Exchange, thank you very much.
3 Ch♓ainsaw (Ma💮niac Mansion)
Imagine you’re trapped in a creepy mansion and all of a sudden you run across a chainsaw that might be useful against any bad🅘dies you might run across.
Well if 𓆉you’re in the Maniac Mansion universe, this chainsaw doesn’t have gas and is absolutely worthless. Much like when you get a gift without batteries, getting a chainsaw without fuel might as well be no chainꦬsaw at all. Sure we know MM likes to go for laughs, but this is just cruel.
2 Stranger's Rifle (Destiny)
Getting the Stranger's Rifle is like expecting an Xbox X for Christmas and instead getting the Nintendo Virtual Boy. The Stranger Rifle is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny’s final reward for beating the main storyline in the game. By the time most players do th🃏is, they’re so overpowered from leveling up that the rifle is just a laughably underpowered gift.
Thanks, Stranger, but next time, please look at o𝔉ur gift registry because we’re just going t🔴o regift this to Doom Guy.
1 Golden Hoe (Mineꦐcraft)
Gold can sometimes be an impressive gift to give during the holidays. During 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Minecraft sessions though? Gold items should be thrown in the trash. Gold shovels, pickaxes, axes, swords, and hoes break so easily that you should just stick to stone or even ♐wood.
If we were in the Minecraft universe we would rather take something made out of diamonds, or enchanted. There are 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:plenty of other things we should be doiꦆng instead of using this item. A golf hoe, used for something as menial as crop harvesting is a slap in the face. We might just leave you outsi෴de with the zombies if you give us one of these.
