Ever since Google turned their homepage into a Pacman game I've been obsessed. It was such a treat on Friday morning when I turned on my computer and saw the game :) I played it all day and then Friday night I made Chris play as Player 2 (Ms. Pac). We had a whole system down where I was designated to the right hand side of the screen and he was designated to the left and before one of us ate a ghost turner circle we'd yell out, "I'm gonna eat one!" And there was a rule where only in the first 3 stages could we chase ghosts to eat them. After level 3 it was all business .... focus on the dots. It worked out pretty well. We got as far as the level with the funny looking dragonfly thingy.
On Saturday I woke up early to play some more because I knew that Google Pac was only going to be live on the site until the end of the day. And then at 11:30 PM Saturday night after watching Jennifer Body's (surprisingly an entertaining movie) I made Chris play with me until we got sleepy.
On Sunday I was sad because I thought Google would take away the Pacman app forever but then I looked on the web and found that a million other sites had copied the game AND Google had made it available to play as often as I'd like! Oh bless their hearts ... I was so happy. By then the Pacman obsession was at its worse. I had already played Pacman on all the other free game sites that I could find and then I ended up downloading Pac the Man X. Not that fun but it kept me entertained for about 3.5 hours.
I love love video games. I remember asking for Nintendo Super Mario Brothers for my birthday as a kid and I remember playing Tetris on my Gameboy and then when my dad brought home our first computer I spent hours playing Commander Keen and Boulderdash and Prince of Persia. As an adult, I still carry around my DS most of the time (as long as my purse is big enough) and Chris and I waited overnight in a tent outside of the Best Buy in East Palo Alto to be first in line to get the Wii. We bought two just in case. And then when I was supposed to be studying for my Finance final my second semester at Sloan, I made Chris take me to Best Buy to get the Wii Fit (it was just released that day!) and he made me promise not to play it until I finished my final the next day (silly boy). So when he went into the bedroom to take a nap (he just finished 2 finals in a row) I took the Wii Fit out of the box and played for two hours until I was all hot and sweaty and then carefully placed it back into the box and then went back to my desk to pretend like I was studying before he woke up.
anyways, I just want to say
thank you to Google
for creating that app.

Something about Pacman that makes me very anxious and nervous. I too played on Google site and found myself screaming as I was being eaten by those ghosts! But it was very clever of Google, wasn't it?
