If you haven't been to Google's homepage today, check it out! The logo for today is commemorating the 30th anniversary of the arcade classic Pacman. It's one of those iconic games that has stood the test of time.
Guess what else? The logo art isn't just art - it's a fully functional Pacman game!
Here's a secret I accidentally discovered with the help of my mom: if you insert two coins ("Insert Coin" replaced "I'm Feeling Lucky"), you get a two-player version. Ms. Pacman is controlled with the W-A-S-D keys.
Have fun returning to your childhood (or discovering Pacman anew)!
Musings, ramblings, and links about poverty, school and science from a strange little monkey.

Facebook Games
I've been playing this game on Facebook, and it's kind of addicting...
No, not Farmville! I'm talking about Bejeweled Blitz.
Every time you don’t beat your high score, you think, “Oh, I was so close! If I’d just moved that gem instead…”
Each game is only 1 minute, so it doesn’t feel long. You just keep clicking that innocent little “Play again” button, and it stretches out to an hour before you know it. Oops.

Phoenix Wright Quotes
The Ace Attorney game series for the DS featuring Phoenix Wright was originally released in Japan, but there are American versions of the games as well. I don't know about the Japanese versions, but in the ones I've played, the dialogue is utterly hilarious. It even makes use of quite a few pop culture references.
Here are some choice quotes from the first three games (courtesy of Wikiquote, especially for the earlier ones I haven't played in a while).
"What's wrong? Is something stuck to my face? Why yes! There's my eyes, and my nose, and my mouth." - Redd White
In reference to old lady security guard Wendy Oldbag:
"Old windbag sure has balls! Or... well, you know what I mean." - Maya Fey
"I spent a whole day looking for my dentures. They turned out to be in my mouth all along." - Judge
"Don't be foolish you foolish fool wearing the foolishly foolish clothes." - Franziska von Karma
After being (literally) whipped multiple times by Franziska:
"Not you too, Mia! With the whip… And the pain… And the oww…" - Phoenix
"Difficult-looking legal books stand in a formidable row. They mock me. I tried reading one, and it made my head hurt. When I closed it, it slipped out of my hand. Then my foot hurt too." - Phoenix
"Well, we know whose milkshake brings all the boys to the yard..." - Mia Fey
"Men are like colonies of bacteria. The more heat you apply, the faster they grow." - Godot
"Let us say the figurative Sir William will be dropping his panties before lunchtime." - Luke Atmey
If you don't know it, look that one up yourself ;)
