Wordless Wednesday - Pac Man Found Dead


...Ms. Pac Man charged with murder
London, ON, March 2008 [Click to embiggen]


I always suspected his philandering, eat-anything-in-his-path ways would get him into trouble. Who knew he'd end up in a watery grave in the parking lot of our kids' school. Rest in peace, little pie-headed fella.

Your turn: Video game characters who've gone bad. Please discuss.

One more thing: I'm still taking caption suggestions for this week's contest. Click here for more.

  32. After a wonderful career, PacMan hit rock bottom.

    ReplyDelete
  33. There's a tennis pic for ya! Love the title!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yup..he's dead. The greenish tone of his normally lively yellow is a dead give-away....dang...never got to tell him how many hours of happiness he gave me in the days of quarter-fed video games.

    Alas, poor Pac-Man... we knew him...

    bows head...says a prayer

    Anyone for Super Smash Bros?

  51. Donkey Kong has begun tapping the kegs and boozing. The princess has been rescued by Mario who doesn't have to avoid the barrels anymore. We thought about scheduling an intervention, but we actually like the big guy better this way.

    Great Pic!

  57. And may I say, I'm glad to see you have owner approval of comments, turned on. Me too. And I have Word Verification too. -sigh-

    Didn't always. But, we learn by being burned, so to speak. Comments containing virus' and etc. Ugh.

    But it's not that difficult to vet comments. And I think I'll leave it, this way. And glad to see others doing it, too.
