Sitting in front of the tree on Christmas morning with a DVD of a roaring fireplace looping on your television? Tacky!
Sitting in front of the tree on Christmas morning with an 8-bit interactive fireplace roaring on your Mac? Awesome!
What a great Christmas gift: Ted Marten’s incredible Fireplace app has finally come to OS X, allowing Mac users to bask in the retro, pixelated glow of an NES fireplace just in time for the Holidays. It’s even interactive, so you can roast marshmallows on it.

I’d prefer an electric fireplace that is readily available in just about any store you visit. If it was more portable, I’d take it to my relatives and hook it up. Beats using a DVD imitating a fireplace and an 8-Bit graphic and saves on natural gas money.
