Looks like <it> is having a laser liaison. By the looks of the X damage <it> takes, it was a dangerous liaison. SOCKO! BIFF! KERBLAM!
You say "pew pew pew." That doesn't seem very effective, so you shoot <it> instead, doing X damage. WHAMMO! SPLAT! BOOF!
You camp near the monster's spawning point and frag <it> for X damage. Weak, man. Weak. WHAM! ZOT! BONK!
You use your "laser" to shoot "<it>" for X "damage." KAPOW! BOINK! WHAMMO!
You blast <it> with your laser, doing X damage. Then you waltz around going "pa-pa-pow!" BAM! WHAMMO! BOINK!
You hide behind a rock and snipe <it> for X damage. Good eye, sniper. BOINK! SOCKO! SOCKO!
Notes
- Originally, this was a 0-power 1-handed melee weapon with no type or enchantments, but the weapon was fixed later on its first day of availability.
- Players who equipped the C.B.F.G. before the fix was implemented, but did not have a Moxie level high enough to equip it were allowed to retain and use the weapon as equipped after the fix.
- Players who equipped the C.B.F.G. before it became a 2-handed weapon were also allowed to retain use of their off-hand item slot.
References
- Several things about this item refer to first-person shooters.
- The name of this item refers to the BFG 9000, from the well-known first-person shooter Doom. BFG was originally an acronym for "Big F***ing Gun".
- The term "fragging," used in the description, is commonly used in first-person shooters to refer to killing other players, particularly when playing in deathmatch mode.
- The mention that the weapon is typically either Red or Blue is a nod towards the many team based first-person shooters in which players are divided into red and blue teams.
- The hit message about camping near the enemy's respawn point and fragging it refers to a common, and looked-down-upon, practice in first-person shooters of finding the location at which members of the opposing team "respawn" after dying, lurking there, and killing them as soon as they appear, known as respawn camping
- The laser targeting chip also refers to the BFG, where the energy projectile may shoot out rays of energy to nearby enemies
- The description line about the hundreds of bullets refers to James Bond, who frequently took out enemies with rapid-fire rifles with his hand pistol, never getting hit himself.
- The hit message with quotation marks around "laser" and "it" refers to a scene in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, in which Doctor Evil overuses air quotes when describing a diabolic scheme involving a "laser" and the "ozone layer."
- The hit message about sniping features the line "Good eye, sniper" from the Coheed and Cambria song, "A Favor House Atlantic."
- The hit message which says, "Then you waltz around going 'pa-pa-pow!'" refers to a line from the movie Tank Girl.
- There is no logical reason for a laser to inflict "stench" damage; however, the element colors are red and green, which are typical symbols of the Christmas holiday.
- The "dangerous liaison" hit message is a reference to the lyrics of "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)" by Jason Mraz.
- The "pew pew pew" hit message is likely a reference to an episode of southpark, where the boys were on the police force as "junior detectives", and when sent into a firefight merely pointed their fingers at the shooters and said "pew, pew, pew!" (ineffectively, of course).
