You know what animal is awesome? The ostrich. Now imagine one as a hammer that you can use to take out the supports of structures and crush enemies. Are you picturing it?
Yeah, it's great, isn't it? The folks at Volition is having a little April Fools' fun, releasing this video of the team being forced to work on a new weapon for Red Faction: Guerrilla -- the Ostrich Hammer. Inspired by NeoGAF forum Photoshops of early in-game photos, the Ostrich Hammer may very well be the greatest piece of equipment in modern videogames. Portal gun, move the f**k over!
There's a highly entertaining video after the jump, including roundtable discussions of the weapon in question. "Technical Fowl!"

This is so going to be DLC.
P.S. - If PETA says anything, tell them they've just been "bird fucked" and ignore their calls. They're fun hating assholes anyway.
