How many man-hours (women don't play these types of games: FACT) will be wasted playing Google PacMan? Think about the millions around the world playing it when they should be working? (You know, just like boards).

I, for one, am proud of my dis-contribution to those man-hours.

Bullsh11111t! These are exactly the games women like to play. Tell a girl you have Bomberman and Pacman at home and their knickers just fly straight off. FACT!

It seems sarcasm and humour is lost on some people.

Probably as a result of all those hours playing video and arcade games.

I think I found a bug.

In the two player mode, if Pac Man gets an energiser then it doesn't wear off; if you don't eat any ghosts they remain blue until you do.
