1.) Can it fall off the floor?

It can slide off the floor if it's slippery enough, or roll off if you can get it spinning right.

2.) Will it blend?

Yes, it will blend things.

Highly reminiscient of one of my favourite video game guns of all time: Armed and Dangerous's Landshark Gun.

That was awesome! I've never seen that before so thanks for sharing!

Don't forget it's alternate fire mode that launches out a hand to touch the targets butt.

LOL Actually, it's a small mouth that takes a bite of butt and eats it.

- CC This is getting weird.

-- Steve also liked their Topsy-Turvey grenade. It had a huge corkscrew on it, and was deployed by screwing it into the ground whereupon it reversed gravity around the user for a few seconds; while gravity was inverted, your character hung from the corkscrew's handlebars while enemies "fell" into the sky. When gravity reverted, the physics engine inflicted falling damage on enemies.

The Texterminator:

A launcher type weapon that fires a cluster rocket that when detonated release a pack of attack corgis. The target is helpless against their cuteness and dies a slow terrible, yet adorable death.

Almost spilled my breakfast there

Automatic SMG that shoots super heated rounds of a dangerous material known as "nandonium" that emits a distinctive "OOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" sound upon impact of the target.

Sniper Rifle type 316:

On appearance alone it is nothing more than a standard sniper rifle, however when the wielder is anyone but SNIPE-316 the rifle's intergrated bio-metric theft system alerts the user that it is Snipe's rifle, and produces a waypoint on their HUD of his current location so they can give him his rifle back.

When fired, the target hears before they die a faint "Halo 2 foreverrr" echo.

2.) Will it blend?

Awesome, but extremely unlikely.

After playing Tomb Raider, I really want a bow. Some super awesome futuristic bow.

Do crossbows count? I have a very self-confident bet that we will see crossbow like weapons.

Lil' Shishka is loadin' up

I was just reading about The Spear of Destiny last night, how about some unwieldy spear action? :D

This gives me an idea: If a given DBOer were a gun in Destiny, what would that gun do?

Vay gun, type S, general-purpose model
Great at short range. Takes a while to respond sometimes. Classic and somewhat distinctive design and color scheme. It does stuff.

Tell me more about this. No, not about the loin cloth and banana peel. How does PvP encounter/fighting work in WoW? Have you played any other games that have a similar mechanic? I've never played anything like this, so I'd like to know more about it if only to help speculate on what Bungie might be thinking.

What is item-binding? Could that be altered to allow things to be "lose-able" but under more...controlled circumstances?

You can flag yourself to participate in PvP in the open world, or not. When you die, items just remain on your corpse until you return and retrieve them...as far as I recall from when I played years ago.

Right. In WoW you never lose items when you die. If you're killed, either by a monster or other player, your spirit appears at a somewhat nearby graveyard. You then run your spirit to your body and "revive". All of your gear is still yours, although everything takes damage that costs in-game currency to repair.

Item binding makes it so that once you have an item (rare weapon or equipment piece), you can't give or sell that item to other players in-game, effectively making you the permanent owner. If you want to get rid of the item, you can either destroy it or sell it to an NPC vendor for gold. Some items are bind-on-pickup, meaning that it's yours as soon as it's in your inventory. Other items are bind-on-equip, meaning that you can hold onto it, carry it around, and sell it to other players, just as long as you don't actually equip the item first.

I think these are fairly consistent mechanics for the MMORPG genre, but I could be wrong.

Paddywagon, a rifle that points many barrels behind the user launching, or whooshing, the user forward at an alarming rate.

Name our weapons eh? Based on our unique characters and play style you don't say?

Some shots may appear to come from another player and are unexpectedly accurate. Others leave a clear contrail back to the shooter and pepper the landscape. There is no way to tell which type a shot will be before pulling the trigger.

-- Steve thinks it'd be highly entertaining for bystanders.

The Narcogen
Blasts a spray of irrefutable logic and measured reasoning that leaves opponents disoriented and scrambling to google obscure Latin phrases. It suffers from terrible latency due to abominable internet connection.

The Cody Miller
Ridiculously fast, sleek, and formidable when used properly. However, sometimes goes off half-cocked and can only be shot from the hip.

And also:

The Yakaman
Entirely nondescript and easily over-looked. When fired, may not be noticed and likely will do little damage. Also referred to as "Tree-Falling-In-The-Woods".

No offense intended, gentlemen. ;)

When I started playing World of Warcraft (about 8 months after its initial launch), I was afraid that I'd lose all my awesome stuff when another player killed me. It took a bit of playing before I realized what the whole item-binding concept was about and how it worked. In many ways I was relieved, but there was definitely part of me that was sort of interested in the idea of permanent repercussions for losing a fight. However, after being "ganked" for the 100th time in Stranglethorn Vale I was quite happy with the mechanics as they were; my character would have been walking around in his loin cloth, armed only with a banana peel.
