Line 202:
* In ''[[Banjo Tooie]]'', if you use your fire eggs or Dragon!Kazooie's fire breath on a mook, you can watch him run around ablaze until it stops or you kill him.
* It's something of a tradition for ''[[Fallout]]'' games to depict the average human being as kindling in waiting. Flamethrowers in the first and second games give a kill animation fondly referred to among fans as the Burning Bitch Dance, while the later installments by Bethesda have given the various desert-wandering protagonists plenty of ways to demonstrate how flammable people are.
* ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'' both have burning zombies.
** Also, both Mr. X and the Nemesis are set ablaze in the game.
* ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' has Joshua Graham, The Burned Man. Formerly the [[The Dragon|Legate]] of [[The Horde|Caesar's Legion]], for his failure to defeat the NCR he was covered in pitch, set aflame and thrown down the Grand Canyon. [[Memetic Badass|It didn't work.]] However, when you meet him in the Honest Hearts DLC he can tell you that every night when he has to change the bandages that cover him from head to toe and expose his wounds to the air, [[And I Must Scream|he must go through the feeling of being burned alive once again.]]
Line 213:
== Webcomics ==
* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' - Dan McNinja's superior reasoning ability leads him to conclude that the best way to avoid being caught by other ninjas is to set himself on fire (granted, the ninjas in question are actually teenagers on a "ninja drug", and therefore are rather reluctant to grab someone on fire). He does have the advantage of a fireproof ninja suit, though.
** In a later comic the [[Big Bad]] of the same arc (who ''doesn't'' need the drug for his ninja skills) admits that setting yourself on fire does prevent ninjas in general (himself included) from catching you... {{spoiler|[[You Have Failed Me...|after telling the ninjas who failed to catch Dan to set themselves on fire to prove otherwise]]}}.
* ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'': Red Mage. Twice. He ''very nearly'' [[Munchkin|found a way of actually using it to his benefit.]]
