Pac-Man has been around for years and years, but I manage to be pleasantly delighted each time a quirky new Pac-Man-themed product or service hits the market. Remember Google's Pac-Man logo that may have wasted nearly 5 million hours of workday productivity? Or the set of amazingly decorated Pac-Man cupcakes? Now I'm similarly enamored with PacMap, a new Android app that allows you to explore Read more
The amazing, addictive Pac-Man Google logo that graced the Google homepage last week may have caused 4.8 million hours of lost productivity, according to a study. The average play time for one game of Google Pac-Man (and, honestly, who played it just once?) was 36 seconds. The research firm that conducted the study says that amounts to $120,483,800, or the amount you'd pay every single Google Read more
Just typing the phrase "Pacman oven mitt" makes me giggle, but how cute is this? The Pacman Oven Mitt ($18) is made of 100 percent bright yellow silicone and fits completely over your hand to avoid any unfortunate oven mishaps. It resists temperatures of up to 450 degrees and is apparently freezer safe, should you decide to store your oven mitt in the freezer. Check out the maze detail inside Read more
Attention anyone looking to fill my stocking this holiday: this necklace is one of the cutest I've seen! The Arcade Parade Necklace ($45) features one of my favorite arcade game characters, Pacman, being chased by ghosts Blinky, Pinky, and Inky. The necklace is made from brass, so its sheen will age naturally over time, and it comes with a canvas pouch for safekeeping. Pacman was one of the first Read more
OK, so my boyfriend may let me get away with splurging on a Desktop Pacman Arcade someday, and will quietly put up with my wearing a Pacman hoodie on movie date night (which you guys think is geek chic, thank you very much), but I think my Pacman obsession may have to end with the Motorized Pacman Plushies ($25-30), which could be a little too weird for me to throw down for. These eight-inch Read more
Ever sustain a gadget-related injury? Even if your scratch is not caused by gaming, you can at least be reminded of it with these Pacman Bandages. There's just 15 strips in three different patterns, but you get to keep the tin, and come on, no one really grows out of cool, printed bandages. What are you gonna use, flesh-colored ones? Ew. Read more
All right now, I am trying to maintain a sense of sophistication, a level of maturity. . . . OK didn't last! I kind of love these Pacman Inky Ghost Earrings ($10). They're vintage geek, they're blue beads, they're so adorable . . . but can I do it? Can I risk my status as a practical adult and sport these? I don't know! Ack! I'm in crisis mode, clearly. Can you? Pacman Ghost Earrings: Read more
Pac-Man updated to drinking age! These handmade Pac-Man Wine Charms use characters from the vintage arcade game to make markers for wine glass stems, which is mucho helpful during a party. For $12 you get a set of six of these charms, and the ultimate compromise in growing up (or, well, growing older). Old vice, meet new vice. What do you think of these? Classy enough for a wine party, or too Read more
I had learned from Fab that fashion designer Giles Deacon had incorporated some intense geeky Pac Man headgear during his London Fashion Week runway show, but I had no idea that such a dress like this existed — stop the presses! After my run in with the Space Invaders dress at the FCUK store, it became apparent to me that video game graphics on sexy designer dresses wasn't that taboo, and Read more
