An Ode To Pacman
Pacman is my favourite game.
For the uninitiated, Pacman started out as an arcade games in the 1980s and went on to become one of the most famous games of all time. It features a yellow spherical creature with a big mouth - called Pacman (you could see that coming, couldn't you?) - constantly running from these monsters who keep him from his ultimate happiness in life - eating dots placed of the floor (talk about unhygienic!) The actual fun part comes when he turns the tables and gobbles the monsters instead, on chomping down his special "power" dot.
Pacman is my idol, for obvious reasons. Not only does he (yes, I assume that 'he' is a 'he') tactfully evade plaguing danger when he has to, he is also only too happy to devour his nemesis when required. And he is in constant pursuit of the love of his life - eating.

I hail thee, Pacman!
On a lighter note, check out this line a friend of mine mailed me a couple of days ago - When asked about wearing a Pac-Man T-shirt throughout a Slayer-tour, bassist/singer Tom Araya was quoted saying that he wore the shirt because he considers Pac-Man the most violent game ever, since there's no other game where you have to eat your enemies.

But then Video games were limited to Pacman & pinball type games. One of the attractions of Pacman, besides being novel & a great game, were the noises. The trilling pings and whistles. Computer noises, tecnology sounds. Pacman ushered in the new era.
Do you know of Pong?

Are you kidding me? If somebody doesn't know what Pacman is he/she should be executed at once.
