"The gaming industry has changed radically since Pong and Pac-Man were causing traffic jams at your local arcade. Most of the changes are for the good, some of them aren’t. It’s weird because we, as a nation, are no longer as innocent as we once were yet things that were commonplace back in the day are completely offensive to us. Can you imagine a big budget Hollywood “family” flick featuring underage drinking (The Goonies, Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, basically any Molly Ringwald mo..."
What happens when you mix together two classic games into one single entity? VGB put together five amazing retro gaming mashups.
These videos parody what happens when you put the likes of Contra guy in the world of Duck Hunt, and Mortal Kombat's Scorpion in a Donkey Kong level.
"25 Things About Me: Pac-Man
1. I can eat just about anything, not just pac-dots! Wakka Wakka Wakka!
2. Pac-Man is my stage name while the official legal name is Puck-Man. I believe going with “Pac” rather than “Puck” was a good choice, don’t you?
3. Technically, dot-eaters are NOT out of shape because if you think about it, being “round’ is a shape!
4. I met Ms. Pacman on a blind maze chase, and after one good look at her in that cute red bow it was love at first sig..."
"History has shown that video games and movies don’t mix. Games based off of movies are generally of lower quality, and movies based off of games are much, much worse.

We at The Gaming Dungeon are not rich or geographically close enough to do one ourselves; but we, ..."
Allison Boyer enjoys finding video game related tattoos. The last time I posted one of her "Gaming Ink" blogs here on Grep was a Mario one. Since then she has posted a Halo Gaming Ink and Zelda Gaming Ink.

The Binge Gamer Villain Hall of Fame honors those who make just about every game possible---the bad guys. This second installment I like even better than the first recipient, Dr. Robotnik / Dr Eggman. Boo the Ghost wasn't in the first or second Mario game, but he has managed to be in nearly every one after.
This is Frenchman Remi Gaillard's hilarious video of a crazy costumed Pacman reenacting the classic game as innocent bystanders watch in shock.
What's that you say? Now I can play Pac-Man and sit on him? That's right!
QAYOT, an Italian designer, has been making Pac-Man furniture without Namco knowing! It could be argued it's not, considering they're not yellow and the pellets are diamond and not round... but a little suspicious don't you think? Don't let that stop you from enjoying your stain resistant fabric on the seats though!
Would you like some Pac-Man furniture?
