One, smell seeps into everything over a long time. Not so sure about console plastic, am thinking other things like gaming magazines. I hear some folks open magazine boxes they've ordered online only to find it reeks of previous owner badly sometimes. Not sure how long this smell lasts either, if not permanent.

Two, is that smoke stains. ie. Smokers that smoke while driving and eventually clean the inside of their windshield will find a layer of tar. Ditto for smoking inside homes and appearing on ceilings. Same goes for E cigarettes I hear.

Three, folks be just bragging about not having a filthy habit. :p

Anybody who has bought an imported cab will know the horrors of what smoke can do to electronics. It took 2 days of diligent scrubbing and vacuuming to get my Blast City cab to stop reeking like a last call bar whore.

Since smoking is a vile disgusting habit that seeps tar into everything smokers touch including houses, cars, women, general areas, and clothes, I can see why some crazies would want to know if the previous owner was a smoker.

Smoking and game collections do NOT go well together.

well, damn, never been so happy I don't smoke. that just sound disgusting (having everything coated in tar)

Don't get me wrong, smoking is pretty rad, but people need to have a little more class. When I used to smoke I almost always did it outside, never in cars, and only indoors when bars in WA used to allow it. That being said, I find smoking indoors under any circumstance pretty crass these days.

Yes, I never smoked indoors as a previous smoker myself either. Because the smell of second hand smoke is shit even to a smoker. As smoking indoor is basically you surrounding yourself by second hand smoke. Way to kill yourself faster that way.

Do not say "Calm Down" if your X1 is set to listen to voice commands. Apparently saying that phrase turns on the console.

Don't you have to say "Xbox" in the sentence for the voice recognition to pick up and do what you tell it? I don't have a Kinect on my Xbone, so I'm only going by what I've heard, but I'm pretty sure you do.

I told my cat to "hey, calm down" and on it came. Maybe it sounds like "hey Cortana."

^ That cartoon still ranks as my fave of the 90s DC animated series. Well the first two series do anyway. The way they handled an aged Bruce passing on the reigns and still being a major force behind the series remains the key factor why I like it. Shame they threw that out the window for the dumb school shit in the third season.

I can't believe Arnold is 69 years old! Looking for some inspiration? Watch the video:
