Pac-Man Fever

Video games make good Movies. Video Games also make good fake Movie trailers. They are hilarious and coming from video games you would never expect. So check them out!

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. This edition goes all to Namco's little yellow guy who existed way before they would charge for dots as DLC (and include them on the disc).

"It seems that entirely too often, people wonder what it would be like to see their favorite video games in real life. This results in a nearly infinite number of fan-made videos of varying levels of quality. I’ve done my best to find 12 great ones that span Mario Bros. to Portal.

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?

"Measuring 210 x 310 centimetres and crafted from 100% wool, the sprawling floor filler is the perfect gift for the Pac-Man enthusiast who has it all... at least it would be until you see that it costs some $2,030 USD! GamerSquad’s collective wallets are beginning to burrow themselves deeper into our pockets at the mere thought."

"For a very long time indeed, they were the preserve of SAS units, terrorists, Formula One drivers, and of young children with dramatically over-protective parents who didn't care all that much about how their poor child actually looked.
