Coming soon....

A certain rounded pal of ours is turning 30 next month, so I think it's only customary that we dedicate next month to one of the world's famous video game icons to chomp his way into our hearts. Stay tune for some classic, retrospective, hard-hitting views o our yellow orb of power!

Has it been 30 years? Somehow I thought it had been longer then that...

I did too, I thought Pac-Man's age was indeterminable by this point, but May 22, 1980 was when he finally made his way into Japanese arcades so I'm just going by that.

By the way, the photo here was recent, proof his legacy hasn't died (though the game itself was a Ms. Pac-Man in a generic cabinet with the Pac-Man marquee over it, but you get the idea). I took this pic at a Pizza Hut up in Lambertville, MI (a few miles passed the state line) last month and it warmed my heart to see that (not to mention the warm-over pizza they had).
