10 Video Game Weapons You're A Dick For Using

10. Blue Shell - Mario Kart

On the back of the box for every iteration of Mario Kart will surely be the promise of fun for the whole family. The reality, however is nothing of the sort. Families and friendships alike have been ruined by the sight of the blue shell barrelling towards the player who sits comfortably ahead of the pack.

It'll likely be thrown by your younger brother who sits in an unremarkable last place but who's having a grand old time ruining your race. Pole position is a wonderful position to be in right up until a line of item boxes present themselves, as it's just another opportunity for the rest of the players to knock you off your perch while you collect yet another banana or coin.

2014's Mario Kart 8 did, however, provide a way to fight back against the blue shell. The Super Horn's uses are limited, but if executed perfectly, it'll void any effects of, what is, the most annoying weapon in Mario Kart history.

I'm not letting it off the hook that easy, though. While the item is undoubtedly a great weapon for those lucky enough to collect it, it's plainly obvious that actually using it is just petty.
