“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 9 – Disk Warrior
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Ned!
On the Ninth 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!
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!

My little brother’s dirty diapers could clear a room of people in seconds, yet leave the furniture intact.
The Super Monkey from Bloons Tower Defense. With the laser beam upgrade of course
The ring from Lord of the Rings. I like how it’s not obvious — it seems like a gift at first, but turns the one who possesses it into an agent of the weapon’s creator.
KITTs laser… would be great for rushhour…
The Alan Parsons Project!
gravity gun – HL2
Chuck Norris…he is a deadly weapon.
Dr Who’s brain!
the ray sphere from inFamous … assuming you’re a conduit of course. if you’re not, its not that fun. 🙂

Indy’s bullwhip. What, not imaginary enough? Too cool to care!
No, no, no…. It has to be the Annihilator 2000 from Beverly Hill Cop III…
Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle
Dr. Horrible’s Freeze Ray.
Voltron’s Blazing Sword!
The “Tuxedo”
Photon Torpedo
The standard, lowly Phaser is actually a very useful weapon. It can be used to warm your food and light a campfire to defending yourself against Altarian Cougar Bears ;-). More importantly, as a weapon, it can be used to stun, not just kill. Sort of like the Taser but without the lethality.
The BFG.
Superman himself.
The Force
Although a BFG would surely be nice, what’s wrong with the good old chainsaw?
The Zatnikatel (sp?) from Stargate SG-1. One zap and your opponent is unconscious with a bad headache, two and he/she’s dead, three and the opponent is conveniently demolecularised.
THE BORG! Forced Assimilation!!!!
Come on it’s still the lightsaber!
the phaser from the new Star Trek movie. it’s like a mini canon!
I side up with Howard (#119): Indy’s bullwhip – I guess this says something about our generation.
P.S. I read your privacy statement – quite different from the usual stuff.
The Point Of View Gun from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Purple Light Saber from Star Wars!
Jame’s Bond’s car.
Excalibur!!!!!
Goku from dragon ball 🙂
or the lightsaber. whatever.
Sticks and Stones.
The cricket from MiB.
Donkey Kong’s big O’ Coconut Cannon in Donkey Kong 64
I’m more old school, The Klingon Bat’leth works for me.
All the weapons from District 9 because most of them were like Quake and Half life weapons put in excellent movie form!
I just had to put my two cents in over this light-Saber crap, I’m not interested in the gift at all.
But I think Dr. Macenstein called out some good ones too, like the Sword of Omens, and the Krull weapon. But there is also some other good ones like, the boomerang thing from the 1st BeastMaster, the Phantasm, Orb, and who can forget Excalibur.
Wolverine’s claws =)=)
Ben 10’s changer
Wave Motion Gun from Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato)
