I think it's a metaphor for what DevilCorp does on a spiritual level. It mass-produces entitled assholes. |

what are you going on about? the comic that set up this scene told us exactly what this game was about
and what the thing she's throwing is supposed to be
it's a 血滴子
... which is a really, really useless weapon.
The only excuse for it having any degree of efficacy is that this is a video game -- a video game in which you behead people because their existence offends you.
Or maybe off-screen the game gives a better reason (read: excuse) to be mowing down assembly lines with a horror from Chinese legend.
It's all a bit disturbing in context of how serious everyone in this comic is about their opposition to teh doodbrowz. Frankly it goes far beyond even my most violent power fantasies, despite those usually being Solar-System-scale or greater. _________________ butts |

Eh, I'm on the side of it just being the video game. |

I love the Tron vibe of all this. But I'm wondering how much to associate the game-world factory with the new drone factory where Slick and Squig work... |

Not quite: they're, not just dudebros, they're zombies. Zombies are ALWAYS contagious. You have to take 'em out before they spread their disease.
Ok, maybe that makes it seem worse.
At least it's not Return to Castle Wolfenstein, where you first kill Nazis, then super elite nazis, then mutant frankenstein nazis, and finally ancient aryan zombies, in that order.

First thing I thought was Slenderman. Those things are dang creepy.
Didn't LiL E and Pepper also once fall into the game? Was a different game too. Is there a living game world in the same universe as Kcils'? I need to get in there, it's my ultimate escapism. |

I know nothing about God of War, but it didn't turn up in any of WIkipedia's lists of media references to this particular weapon, nor did a search for "god of war" and "flying guillotine" yield any results, so no
there's one in TF2 apparently, though
