The Ten Most Useless Weapons In Gaming

5) Raphael’s Sai, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

If you were born after 1980, you love the Ninja Turtles. That’s just a fact. Now, we’re not here to talk about the upcoming Michael Bay monstrosity (though I remain hopeful it will be entertaining), we’re here to talk about the game. 

In particular, the NES game. You know, the one with the electric seaweed. 

In this game, each of the brothers brought something to the table. Donatello had the best reach with his staff. Leonardo looked fucking boss with his swords. Even Michelangelo, party dude though he is, managed to be useful with his numchuks. 

But Raphael?

Unless the foot soldiers ran into you, there was no chance of taking them out with that stupid wrist-twirl attack. You had a better chance of killing them through sheer body odor (you ever see the turtles take a bath?)

In other words, Raphael’s sai was as useful as ketchup on ice cream.
