May 21 2010Happy Birthday: Pac-Man Google Homepage
As you may or may not know, tomorrow (May 22nd) is Pac-Man's 30th birthday. And what better way to celebrate than embedding a playable version of the game on Google's homepage? I can think of one. Drinking till we puke dots. What do you say, Pac? CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! *BLAAAAAAAARH!* Bro you should really chew those ghosts next time.

There is a much more important 30th happening today. May 21st 1980. The Empire Strikes Back is released in U.S. theaters. And you call yourself a geekologist. Hang your head in shame GW. Hang it in shame.

If you click the "Insert Coin" button below the search box you can play Ms. Pac-Man simultaneously (using the A, S, W, & D keys).

I share a birthday with Pac-man? Well that makes the game slightly cooler than it already was.

Saw it; thought, "best Google logo EVAR!" Then I PLAYED IT and thought, "TRUELY.... BEST GOOGLE LOGO EVARRRRR!" ...then it wouldn't stop. I couldn't shut if off... I couldn't turn the sound off. I franticly pressed buttons and more games began. I shut down the window in Firefox... It kept playing... I relaunched Firefox... It launched MULTIPLE games!!! ARRRHGGG!!! Then I tried it in Safari.. SAME THING!! ...WORST GOOGLE LOGO EVARRRRR!!!!
