On the name:-


Insert Coin. Game Over.

I couldn't resist that. Especially as a similar joke is used in Good Omens, where Aziraphale and Crowley are facing the end of their world, and the rest of eternity spent in a Heaven or a Hell they have long since ceased to identify with. after they have listed and contemplated all the horrors of the Last Days - cf. boiling seas, all marine life so much gumbo, nukular missiles fired by Americans, volcasnos, meteors, plague, fire, Death War and Famine - Crowley winces and mutters

"Game Over, Insert Coin".

The time of a sourceror called Coin calls for the same phrase with a differnt emphasis! --AgProv 09:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
