Thanks Scott.
Are you the pac-man guy?
Nah. That was some total ass.
"Do you know Pac-Man?"
"I know of him."
Ok, I'll leave you alone forever now.
I know OF it
... Lesbians?
I was in front of one recently:
Cool. Was this in Japan?
No. A computer museum. No idea where the arcade machine was originally from.
20 seconds in:
Ohhh, now I get the top comment.
Your welcome.
This crap just runs in my head.
It's like that show noone remembers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman's_Head
I loved Herman's Head!
Now I get the bottom comment too.
I'm surprised Namco didn't just call him Fuck Man from the beginning. It would be a typical Japanese thing to do.
If it was a Hideo Kojima game it would have been Fuck-hard Man
With a black sharpie you could make it "Fuck Man" and turn the nose into a dick and balls.
The artist knew what he was doing with that nose.
Honestly missed opportunity, we could had edgy fuck man
So I'm guessing the name stuck for the Japanese market.
パックマン
The first character is pronounced "pa".
This isn't the case with Mega Man being Rockman or Astro Boy being the Mighty Atom.
The Japanese pronunciation is why they wanted to call him Puck-Man! It's apparently from a Japanese onomatopoeia for a mouth opening and closing, "Paku Paku"
Oh cool. actually very cool. I didn't know that.
Thank you for the info.
Np, just learned it myself right before posting this.
And they were right about the easy target of vandalism. I already thought thats what it said at first glance.
Fuck, man... Didn't knew.
This is the lesson the German car sharing brand MILES has learned too late.
A lot of the stickers on the MILES cars read MILFS nowadays.
Smart move. I wanted to do it immediaty upon seeing that logo. It was literally my first knee jerk reaction.
That phallic nose isn’t helping the matter.
What would the vandals do to Ms. Fuck man
