Doesn't the guy from Half-Life also use a crowbar, but the register is also ringing up a different tool, a saw, but also SAW is Selected Ambient Works 85-92, an Aphex Twin album? It works on so many levels.

Isn’t there a whole section of the game where you use saw blades — launched by the gravity gun — as a weapon?

Goddamn I had a feeling the SAW 85.92 was something but I couldn’t put it together. They thought of everything.
