“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 17

[Thank you, we have a winner. This contest is now closed. Congratulation to faithful Macenstein reader Brett!]
On the Seventeenth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) Your very own copy of DiskWarrior 4 by Alsoft!

diskwarrior 4 by alsoft

Yes, the mighty DiskWarrior 4, the safest, most technologically advanced, most powerful utility to eliminate directory damage available for any computer, and, the only product, hardware or software, that has ever earned the highly sought after 10 out of 10 rating from Macenstein. Why? Because it rescued my entire 60 GB music collection when I had a drive go kablooey on me and other disk repair utilities failed.

The key to DiskWarrior’s success is that it is not a disk repair program in the conventional sense. Instead of patching the original directory, it uses a patent-pending technology to quickly build a new replacement directory using data recovered from the original directory, thereby recovering files, folders and documents that you thought were lost and that no other program could recover.

Those of you who have had disk trouble and who have written to me in desperation know DiskWarrior is my go-to answer, so if you do not own it already, and don’t win it here, go buy a copy. You’ll be glad you did.

To enter: Since DiskWarrior is the weapon of choice when fighting damaged disks, leave us a comment with the coolest imaginary weapon in TV/Film/videogame history. It could be the Death Star from Star Wars, The Sword of Omens from Thundercats, or Sticky Grenades from Halo 3 (but we all know it is the Glave from the movie Krull). Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

    The coolest imaginary weapon EVER is the lightsaber. You can use it for opening clamshell packaging, sword fighting, lighting a fire, killing bugs, impressing the ladies, robbing a bank, and SO MUCH MORE. Best. Weapon. Ever.

    Lightsaber!!!!

  13. Paul F says:

    The starship Spaceball I when it transforms into Mega Maid!

  14. dave says:

    LightSabre. It’s the best close-range weapon….unless you are a klutz, in which case you WILL lose an appendage.

  15. baltimoresbest01 says:

    noob comb (halo 2)

  16. scarlco says:

    BFG!

  17. Ofek says:

    The lightsaber!

  18. David says:

    I’d choose either the Predator Smart Disc or a Ghost Buster Proton Pack

  19. whaps says:

    The military robots from Short Circuit

  20. Darrin D says:

    Redeemer from Unreal

  21. Justin says:

    The MAC from the Halo series.

  22. Coolest weapon? The chainsaw arm that Ash has in the Evil Dead films. Way cool.

  23. Shortyou says:

    Lightsaber

  24. Craig says:

    Those staff things they use in Stargate. They have class.

  25. Tyson Junkers says:

    Hellboy’s “Big Baby”

  26. Eric M. says:

    In my opinion, it’s a tie between the Portal and Gravity guns.

  27. Bob says:

    C’mon guys…this one’s easy: The arm blades The Predator had! Elongated for AvP!! And the shoulder-mounted blaster!

  28. MacTipper says:

    The sword of Azeroth from the big bang theory. (Okay, it’s probably not *from* that, but that’s where I heard of it from.)

  29. Justin Octo says:

    The car battery
    watch Children of Men

    The Stone of Gol.

  33. Ron Green says:

    Starship Enterprise

  34. Brandon says:

    definitely the freeze ray from Dr. Horrible’s singalong blog 🙂

  35. Vas the Man says:

    The doomsday device from Dr Strangelove.

  36. David Syzdek says:

    Lightsaber. Even the little cheese cutting one from Family Guy’s Blue Harvest was awesome.

  37. Bob says:

    BFG9000 – from the original Doom for sure!

    BTW, I just had my brand new (late 2008) Macbook Pro die on me yesterday – invalid node structure or something like that – I could definitely use a copy of this to try and rescue some of that data.

  38. Berknip says:

    While the Glave is cool, I expected you to mention the Lightning Shield or Ming’s Ring from Flash Gordon. I’m probably the only one who thinks that Prince Vultan looks like King Leonidas from 300…

  39. Davidmac says:

    Star Wars light sabers!

  40. Lars says:

    Voltron

  41. Velociraptor says:

  45. Mirco says:

    for me Death Star.
    ciao!

  46. MacSheikh says:

    Lightsaber.

    Second to none. Top of the heap. Pinnacle of perfection. Summit of excellence. One in a million. Cream of the crop.

    You know what i mean…

  47. Wiseguy says:

    Just to throw something new out there, I’ll go with the Omnidroid robots from The Incredibles.

  48. Chris says:

    Lancer from Gears of War(2).

  49. Dave-O says:

    Definitely the light saber. Honorable mention to Dr. Horrible’s Freeze Ray.
