Pac-Man Hoodie Has Everything You Wanted Save 100% Natural Fibers
Nothing better in the run-up to Christmas to have a Jesus lookalike modelling a Pac-Man hoodie from Hot Topic. It's a steal at $45, but why is it only 80% cotton? Nylon just makes me come out in hives, guys. [Oh!Gizmo]

Pac-Man Xmas Tree Offers 8-bit Holiday Cheer
This electronic Christmas tree fashioned in the likeness of a Pac-Man map, complete with Pac Man, power pellets and ghosts, shows the Spanish know what they're doing when it comes to the holidays. Currently in downtown Madrid, the tree not only features all the elements of the game, but Pac-Man and his nemeses are partially animated, shifting back and forth in place. More »

Death Star Gets Pie Chart Treatment
The guys over at Shirt.Woot have had some crazy designs submitted for possible T-shirts to adorn your puny little chest. We have to say that the design above has caught our attention, as we have always wondered what the distribution of deaths was aboard the Death Star. Granted, the pie chart in the shape of the Death Star may present statistics of questionable reliability, but it makes for one awesome shirt. If you like it, get voting so it gets put into production. Just imagine wearing it! Oh, sweet, sweet day. As we are getting overly mathematical on you, why not jump for the oldie but goodie Pac-Man-related pie chart?More »

ETRI's KOBIE and RABIE: Best Robot Friends Since Cartman (Video)
KOBIE and RABIE are networked robots designed by Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). They are essentially sensor and motor arrays whose varied "emotions" are processed on a nearby PC. Because of the wireless connectivity, they deliver greater variety of response with less overhead within the little koala bear doll or creepy rabbit-Pac-Man shell that make up their bodies. More »

Pac-Man Electric Guitar For Retro Game Loving Rockers
I can't play the guitar worth a damn, but with any luck the Pac-Man electric guitar would allow me to tap into my inner musician by channeling my dominant inner gaming nerd. Designed by Specimen Custom Guitars, the Pac-Man guitar features a blinking headstock and a variable-speed knob located on the eyeball that can synchronize the blinker to the beat. Unfortunately, the guitar is one-of-a-kind so chances are you won't be able to play one yourself—which is a shame because I would love to hear how this thing sounds. [Specimen via Ubergizmo]
concept
For one reason or another, Quicksilver (the guys who make surf clothes) decided to branch out—way out—with their very own mobile phone concept. The phone opens up Pac-Man style to reveal a larger screen, which is interesting, but by the looks of things it would be unwieldy to both carry and use. Stick to making stylish shorts that cover up my junk at the beach, okay guys? [JUSTAMPvia IntoMobile]

Okay, short and sweet. Textile Interfaces designed the jacket, while the Lumalive light-up plate came courtesy of Philips. It's old promo-wear from Philips, but we got hold of one that plays Pac Man. On your chest &mdash well, mine, actually.

Pac Man Rug Would Suit Wealthy, Old-Skool Gamer
This Pac Man rug is on sale via a kids' website, but with a very adult price tag of $2,186. Made in Portugal and 100 per cent wool, there are only two of these 6'9" x 10' rugs in existence. So, rich kidults with a games room that needs carpeting, apply here. [Children's Gorilla via OhGizmo!]
electrifying research
Shocking Pac-Man Helps Scientists with Fear Studies
A version of Pac-Man that administers electric shocks to gamers has been shedding light on how the human brain reacts to danger. Researchers at the Wellcome Trust Center for Neuroimaging at UCL found that the closer the gamers got to danger, the more impulsive was their response. "In effect, the less free will you will have," explained the study leader, Dean Mobbs. More »
pac-man plush-head
Items such as this Pac-Man Plush-Head helmet make me realize how much life has to offer. It comes in two sizes, (Pac)Man and (Pac)Boy and does nothing but keep your ears warm. Nope, no MP3 player, no vibrating head massager, no USB, no Bluetooth—just squashy yellowness. What else do you need?

Ms. Pac-Man Now Available for the iPod
That dot-munching whore, Ms. Pac-Man, has made her way to the iPod via the iTunes store. Her male, less whore-y, counterpart has been available for a while now, but everyone knows that Ms. Pac-Man was always the favorite. I think it is the ever-so-sexy bow on top of her head. Head on over to the iTunes Music Store to pick up Ms. Pac-Man for $4.99. Fifth-generation iPods only, folks. More »

Check out this chimp dominating a little Ms. Pac-Man. And by dominating we mean doing alright and at least understanding how to play, but that is still a hell of a lot better than I could ever do with that little tramp, Ms. Pac-Man. You may be flailing your arms around thinking you are hot shit, chimp, but I dare you to challenge me in Galaga, or better yet, Madden. More »

Nintendo Physically Augmented Reality Amusement Park
Our second favorite class from when we were in grad school at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program was taught by game designer Frank Lantz of area/code. The best project—certainly the most copyright infringing one—to come out of his Big Games class this past semester might just be the Nintendo Amusement Park, "a real life obstacle course which a player jumps through using a power assist harness."

Arcade Nirvana at Home
If you're old enough to recall the arcades of the 80s, Peter Hirshberg has replicated that entire atmosphere even down to the coin machines, where he's got more than 50 dedicated originals with no conversions. He has original versions of Frogger, Lunar Lander, Pac-man, Space Invaders, Dig Dug, the original Pong and lots more. More »
