I was minding my own business the other night, watching some random TV. The sort of Tv that is really only serving as chewing gum for the eyes. Too early to go to bed but too late to start doing anything productive, so Chill time. When up popped an advert for the new Tomb Raider game released soon or already out, I don’t know as I prefer my adventurers to be more visceral.
Whilst half watching I saw the new look Lara Croft causing havoc with an Ice Axe, not any ice axe but a DMM rebel rendered in CGI for your gaming pleasure. A quick search and people are already making moulds to make ‘game replicas’. I guess you’d get told off for weilding a real ice axe in the street.
This got me thinking about violence, Tv and computor games. Why, well its not the first time DMM ice axes have been used in the main stream media, as a Predator it appeared as a weapon in a main stream movie thriller shortly after it came to market. Whilst not a predator the brother of premiere league footballer murdered Athony Walker in a unprovoked racist attack with an ice axe in 2005. Although it is not the most prominent ice axe attack as back in 1940 Leon Trotsky was apparently killed by an Ice Axe in Mexico City. The reasons were it was a weapon of opportunity for his killer who found it in Trotsky’ fortified house.
So look out for geeks wielding Plastic DMM rebels.
Here’s how to make a fake one!
Heres how to make a real rebel.
