Brusspup has a whole YouTube page devoted to mind-bending illusions, but his latest applies Pac-Man to a tried-and-true design. He’s even included templates here, here and here so you can build one yourself.
Check it out in action after the break.
If you thought the original Pac-Man was retro, get a load of the Pactuator. The creator hopes to expand on the concept to create an entire working game called Pac Machina.
I call it the Pactuator. I kind of fell in love with the little guy, but it’s going to be a (long) while before the game is ready. In the meantime I wanted a nice way to display and play with it (and keep myself inspired to finish the full project). To that end, I drew up a feeble pastiche of a Victorian frame with a Pac-Man motif, laser engraved it in some wood, and made a little display, complete with a hand-crank.

This Pac-Man light installation from artists Benedetto Bufalino and Benedict Deseille was part of the recent Festival of Trees and Lights in Geneva, Switzerland.
I think we need something like this to replace stop lights.
It’s never to early to start a child’s nerdy education, and these mobiles from Salty and Sweet are a great way to begin their training.
Our favorite selections are pictured here, including Star Wars, Mario, Half-Life, Zombies and Pac-Man.

Or is it just a piece of fruit that has gone really, really bad? Actually, it’s a realistic Pac-Man sculpture by deviantARTist Kalapusa.
My follow-up to Making a Piranha Plant, this animated depiction of the last days and final destination of a P. rotundus specimen is part of my 8-Bit Labs series of sculptures.
Each piece is based on a classic videogame character as seen through the prism of real-life anatomy. They are rendered in clay, painted with acrylics and sealed in resin to give the appearance of a specimen preserved in formaldehyde. Seen here is a Pakku rotundus, which is based on Pac Man.
Check of more pics and a video of this unholy monstrosity after the break. No wonder those ghosts were after him—they were trying to drag him back to hell where he belongs.

This is truly going to be a star vehicle for “guy in the yellow shirt,” but “blue shirt guy in the top row, second from the left” will have a brush with stardom to show his grandkids one day.
Sequoia AVC Edge DRE voting machines weren’t the most secure way to elect our nation’s officials, but those same insecurities made it fairly easy to hack and repurpose as a gaming machine. Over the course of three days, J. Alex Halderman and Ariel J. Feldman at the University of Michigan managed to load Pac-Man on this DRE without breaking any tamper-evident seals.
In other words, Pac-Man is a fun way to illustrate the frighting possibility of electronic election fraud. Check out a video of the machine in action after the break.
