If you've ever been to a frat parties, then chances are you already know that you shouldn't fart right into a burning candle. There's nothing worse than setting a beer-soaked rug on fire because you had to impress those blurry-eyed chicks with your flammable farting. Well, apparently this Nintendo fan didn't get the memo, because his flatulence literally knocked him out of the chair and probably destroyed is tiny 10 inch television! I guess it's better he learns these life lessons now than when he's out looking for action.

So this is an advertisement for Taito's "heat wave." So what game does Taito decide to showcase in their "heat wave"? None other than Hit the Ice, of course. Let's face it, I could spend the next three hundred words just making fun of how stupid it is to talk about how hot your games are (even illustrating your point by showing some dude's flaming farts) and then showcase a game about ice hockey. But what's the point in spending that much time talking about something so petty? As far as I'm concerned it's low lying fruit, it's just not worth my time or effort. I can only hope that this picture was not drawn specifically for Hit the Ice.

But even if we take Hit the Ice completely out of the equation, this commercial is still left advertising games that are decidedly NOT hot. Panic Restaurant? When the description says that "these dirty dishes need to be cleaned up," you know you're in for a world of hurt. And what about Sonic Blast Man? It's almost as if he came late to superhero school on the day they were handing out cool names. And then there's On the Ball, which is so painfully punny that I've decided to ignore it. So all we're left with is The Flintstones and The Jetsons ... and we know how good games based on classic cartoons are. Looking at this line-up I'm stuck thinking that maybe this guy's flaming farts are more entertaining than any of these games!
