    Wait a second, is that even turned on?

    The button on the console looks like it is sticking out, which would mean the console is not receiving power!

    Just kidding, that is an amazing job. #nes

    You know, you can do other things with Zippos other than smoking. Like, you can nonchalantly open and close them while you say "I'll be right out" just before you bust the door open and beat up some cops.

    Alternatively, if you have an aerosol can around, you can use it along with the zippo to shoot fire at the cops after you bust open the door. Although be ready to yell "Give me back my face!" real loud soon afterwards.

    Awesome! I could use a decent lighter and if it's gaming related, all the better...sadly, I ain't paying 100 quid for a lighter. I think I'll stick to my cheapass storebought ones. #pacman

    @-MasterDex-: It wont come to £100, its more like £60, still a lot I know, but theres something about being able to light up while in winds that send other smokers into shop doorways to get some flame going on. #pacman

    Damn. If it was still 1982 and I still smoked, I could be the coolest m'f'er at the arcade with one of these. (Anyone else old enough to remember game consoles with built-in ashtrays?) Hey dude in the red smock, give me $20 worth of quarters and a pack of Marlboros! #pacman

    Toki was a soul crushingly hard game, or at least it was when I was a kid. Maybe it would feel easier if I played it today, but I recall that I never managed to beat it. I came close once or twice, but never finished the damn thing. #toki

    @Mister Jack commands 1000 prinnies!: Oh yes, was that hard. I can't remember if I just had an unbelievably lucky day or just cheated to see the end, I remember getting through most of it once, but never getting past level 3 any other time. Great fun though. #toki

    I still have my Toki arcade board. It never got much play, given that's it's a fairly difficult game, but I would welcome the chance at a remake. #toki

    @mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: Same, though strangely I never even HEARD of Toki at all. .__.

    EDIT: Plus, looks very good in HD and all. Very smooth too compared to the "arcade" version (though i have a reason to suspect it's a PAL version).

    I always wanted to play this game, but the closest I got was seeing it on Nick Arcade. This isn't as cool as the new Sparkster game, but if it's any good it may be worth a look.

    I'm still waiting for the day Dynamite Headdy returns. Sega, make it happen! #toki
