Ryoga's scarf; the wearer of this leapord print scarf finds himself with an -awful- sense of direction. It becomes so bad that he cannot even successfully navigate his way out of a small, empty room with only one entrance, clearly marked.
Cursed version: it also turns the wearer into a pig if he's doused with cold water and cannot be removed except by having the curse removed.
528) Wand of attraction: A wand that does nothing, but is attracted to the last person who tried to use it
No. Stop it. You are retroactively ruining Portal every time you do that.Quote:

That sounds less useless and more incredibly dangerous.Quote:

Those are just the first questions I thought of about such a disturbing device.
The fist is probably fine-sized or has a strength penalty so it does no damage.Quote:

Besides, who's going to identify with a disembodied fist? That's just dumb.
I think that it'll identify every single remotely living thing in the universe as 'wrong', and thus punch each thing only once before flying off to the next wrongdoer.
You'll lose this fist really fast.
546) The Emperor's New Wand of Illusions. It can create a realistic (visual only) image of any invisible object. The image, of course, is also invisible.

Some parents suck at raising their kids, and some parents just plain suck. It's more important that kids get raised right than who does it.Quote:

In particular, the link between violent games and violent behavior was all but categorically disproven in a series of longitudinal studies concluded here just a few years ago.Quote:

Do you really think you'd be -more- violent if your parents had never layed a hand on you and you'd grown up playing mortal kombat and watching looney toons? I doubt it. Even outside of the home, most authority figures are quick to tell children that hitting is not okay. The idea that stories about fantastic things doing violence to each other would make anyone violent is absurd.
I'll explainQuote:

No, it will not teach children that violence will solve problems, because the fist doesn't solve problems.
I apologize for derailing the parenting discussion, but:

...wasn't my argument. I'm overtly in favor of violent media, I think sugar-coated bloodless violence is less healthy for young children than realistic violence with the blood and consequences left in, since it kinda underplays the consequences of violence. Cartoonish violence is ****ing hilarious, though.Quote:

Point is, I likes me some violent media. I grew up watchin' a fair amount of re-run old-timey violent chase cartoons. I learned valuable lessons from those shows, such as dressing up explosives like pretty ladies or that coyotes are jerks.
Violent media doesn't make people violent. As far as I can tell, violent media makes people less violent by providing an outlet. I make this argument myself a lot, and don't disagree with it in the slightest.Quote:

I guess the language used to describe the hypothetical fist was a little uncomfortably close to home for me.
