Nerd Approved reader Gregory Pinzone sent these photos of his awesome retro gaming-themed bathroom, which is adorned with Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man imagery that covers everything from the walls, mirror and lighting – right down to the trash can. With this kind of attention to detail, you’d almost expect your waste to be 8-Bit. Needless to say, it would fit right in to our list of the world’s nerdiest bathrooms.

It’s hard to image what a classic arcade game like Pac-Man would look like today. Not so if you’re the folks at Steelehouse Productions. They’ve put together a short movie with an updated version of the little yellow guy. He’s now part of a secret government experiment and his name is short for Polymorphic Autonomous Compound Manipulator. It’s not clear exactly what he’s for, but with a name like that he’s got to be some kind of super-weapon that is destined to run out of control, gobbling all our precious energy and depleting the world’s supply of bananas. And possibly cherries.

Finally those ghosts in Pac-Man can be used to do something other than piss you off. Etsy seller “LightYourselfUp” created this 3D Pac-Man ghost shelf which measures 30” x 28” x 4” and is fully customizable, from the size and color all the way to the direction the ghost is looking.

Technically it’s not a Pac-Man ghost, but we’re calling close enough on this Japanese pen that features a built-in ghost stamp.
From the product page:
The design updates the ancient tradition of hanko (a personal seal used for official documents) by combining it with a modern ergonomic writing instrument. Conceived by the renowned Naoto Fukasawa for Shachihata, the world’s leading stamp producer, the pen is brilliantly lacquered, flawlessly detailed, and perfectly balanced.

You know a game is addictive when other games get hooked on it. Skyrim destroys lives people—even virtual ones.

If you’re looking for a really, really unique nerdy gift, consider a custom ukulele from Etsy seller Paul Celentano, who can provide you with an instrument shaped like Pac-Man or the Autobot logo. Each ukulele is handmade and can be turned into almost any shape or size to fit any occasion.

Crude Pac-Man claymation? Musical? Whatever, bring it on—just as long as it isn’t Glee.

How easily will Pac-Man and Blinky get accustomed to life without a controller guiding their movements? My guess is that they’ll have a hell of a time catching each other, or even moving in the same direction.
