UK retailer Direct Blinds have a collection of designer blinds inspired by retro games. I like these because they’re not something you see every day and feel appropriate to gaming fashion too. I’ve seen many gaming rooms that have blinds installed so the sun can be blocked from casting its evil glare on the screen […]
Impressive Pac-Man fan film
It’s worth finding seven minutes of your life to watch this fan. The writer / director is James Farr, the lead animator is Nathan Glemboski and both are likely to pick up additional work off the back of this project. While this is a visual masterpiece I’m not sure what they’re using Pac-Man for down […]
Pac-man ghost shelf
You find great stuff on Etsy. This time we’re popping over to LightYourselfUp, from Spain, and their Pac-man inspired ghost shelf. You get to custom design the work; picking colour, size and even the direction of the ghost’s glare. Via Geek Crafts.
Pac-Man the Opera
Is it a capella or is a pacapella? The claymation is good – but I’m harsh these days. I expected it be good. The singing – that’s the surprising part – I expect singing to be just about able to tow the line these days. Are there wobbles in this musical? Sure, yeah, but by […]
Pac-man swimsuit
Is Geek Native turning into a fashion blog? We’ve had the C3PO swimsuit, the R2-D2 swimsuit and Darth Vadar swimsuit. They’ve all been from a boutique called Black Milk who know when they’re on to a winner. Now we’ve got the Pacman swimsuit. It’s $90.00.
Bored? Try the world’s biggest Pac-Man game
We’re not talking about a super-sized Mr Pac Man here. He’s not been munching on any Mario mushrooms. Instead, the World’s Biggest Pac-Man is hundreds of screens, connected in a grid and linked. This means when you reach the end of one screen you don’t reappear on the other side; you enter the new screen. […]
Pac-man toilet
This looks like a Pac-man toilet to me. Yeah, I’m aware that we don’t see Pac-man anywhere in the actual design – perhaps that’s due to legal reasons – but who else uses a toilet like this? A ghost inspired by Pac-man toilet? Nope. Â I think not. This is the Pac-man toilet. Just as this […]
Human Pac-man
Here’s a neat example of live action stop motion. Yup! Using people in your animations must require lots of volunteers with lots of patience. This isn’t just a stop motion of some Pac-man animations. They play an entire game; maze levels and animations and all. What did you make of the sound effects?
Pac-man cutting board
Pac-man‘s fame star seems to be more immortal. Just how much attention did he get in Scott Pilgrim vs The World? Loads! He also gets a fair bit of attention on Etsy. Check out this £100+ chopping board. Sound extreme? It does have so much geek cred. The debate is whether the ghost is Blinky […]
Vampire Pac-man? Unpack-man? I want
Pac-man is iconic. He’s useful too. You can use him to hoover up little white pills you might have left scattered around your maze-like house. You can use him to keep the number of ghosts haunting your pad in check as well; or at least distract them from haunting you. Turns out that you can […]
