When I carry my protopipe around with me I never have to look for a poker, my bowl never spills, and I can carry around some extra sum-sum in the chamber for when the bowl gets cashed.
I love my protopipe

Proto Pipe
A brand name brass pipe designed to smoke various types of herbs, leaves etc... it is noted for having removable components and a built-in screen which is a few strategically drilled holes and mini chambers in the bowl allowing air flow without allowing particulates over a certain size to reach the mouthpiece. The various components are designed to assist in the cleaning, smoking, preparation, protection etc..
It has a unique look compared to other types of pipes, making it easily recognizable by its brass polished base and black tipped mouthpiece. Off brand knock offs are common, they are easily distinguished from the brand name version by lack of engraved manufacturer name etc...
Due to the nature of the 'built in screen' design, a proto pipe that is not cleaned will become clogged with tar. A removable tar trap is located at the base of the bowl to keep the tar away from the screen and mouthpiece. In a "standard" pipe screens become clogged with tar and need to be replaced. Although the airway can become clogged as well in a normal pipe, the proto pipe's primary advantage is the simplicity in diagnosing any blockage and cleaning it with the steel poker.
Because the pipe is mostly constructed of brass it does not easily become hot to the touch like pipes constructed of other metals, or even glass pipes.
The proto pipe lacks the 'trippy' or themed design of many other types of smoking pipes, eschewing that motif in favor of an aesthetic that is more industrial grade in appearance, and feel.

Super Mario 64: 1995 Prototype
The Super Mario 64: 1995 Prototype is a fictional prototype of the game for the Nintendo 64, named Super Mario 64.
Not much is known about this prototype, aside from the fact it was VERY experimental, testing out new AI that Nintendo got from another Japanese company, thatallowed the game to change itself to fit one's 'Cognitive Desires', which means this prototype is different on every cartridge. Deisgn wise, it didn't look like your happy-go-lucky Super Mario game. The player model was a low poly, featureless man. The castle itself was rather eerie, with few light sources, and the basement was an elaborate mess of hallways.
Testers were called in to experiment with the technology, and it was working fine, except from one odd observation. Prolonged exposure to the basement] in the prototype casued severe migraines. One tester, when Nintendo checked in on them after leaving them overnight, they were found in a delusional state, mumbling to themselves, in which they had to be wheeled away to hospital.
New testers were warned to NOT go to the basement for whatever reason.
After new testers were developing stroke-like symptoms from overexposure, Nintendo stopped new testers coming in, and cut all cartridges with the personalised AI.
If you've ever played a friend's Super Mario 64 cartridge, and felt something was off, now you know why.
