8 Hilarious Jokes Hidden In Video Game Item Descriptions
6. Yellow Snowballs - Wasteland 3
Oh Wasteland 3 you are so utterly bonkers at times, aren't you?
Sharing a similar strand of DNA from the ever-popular Fallout series, the Wasteland franchise is full of utterly irradiated insanity, however, chooses to tell its tale from a perspective similar to the early Fallout games over the drive towards first-person action that took over with Fallout 3.
The horror and humor come thick and fast in these titles, with you running from mutated monstrosities one minute and then engaging in utterly ridiculous side quests the next, and bridging the gap between this world of fear and fun is the disgustingly hilarious Yellow Snowball item. Now it's clear from the off that yellow snow, even in this radiation dump of a world is suspicious, and this is confirmed by the description of the item which reads "The impact only lasts a moment, but the shame lasts a lifetime."
That's right. It's a ball of frozen piss.
Even thinking about that is making my mouth feel claggy, and things get even worse when you realize you can upgrade this item with a bomb to become the Yellow Snowbomb, which again comes with an altogether more horrifying description.
"Toss this through Old Man Carruthers' window, and he'll be cleaning up his house for a week! Or dead."
