Object-ive Review: Monster Hunter's Shock Traps
Godspeed You! Spicy Monkey
I'm not entirely sure what it says about Monster Hunter that its ostensibly humane solution for hunting monst is one I find more disturbing, on reflection, than the traditional lizard-braining alternatives. The shock trap presents a trade-off: the effort of set-up for a slightly more guilt-free hunting experience, and also more loot.
But the Shock Trap is not guilt-free at all. The shock trap is an object of infinite horrors. Unfortunately, I do not have time to list infinite horrors. Instead, we must put the Shock Trap on trial. I have so, so many questions.
