video games used to be named stuff like 'aero the acro-bat' and 'greendog the beached surfed dude' but now they don't do that any more so you have to buy the game to find out what the guy in it is called.

This wouldn't have been MY choice of theme for a fighting game, but sure

As someone who listened to nothing but Queen nonstop from ages 11-15, I thought this was gonna be hard but it's actually just The Show Must Go On, which was my favorite back then too. It's raw power. It's electric.

without saying we are the champions, fav queen song?

The very first machine was placed there as part of a test run only a few weeks before official release. The feedback received during this short test period was used to make the final design tweaks that are reflected in the game we still play today, nearly a half century later. This has always made we wonder that if the story is true, why hasn’t anyone ever talked about it!? Why doesn’t anyone go to the theatre, put a historical marker and celebrate the space where it once stood? Well, there is a catch. The location is one of the many things that aren’t there anymore. To reach this conclusion and present it to the world I did some intensive research, and while it is a downer that you can’t stand exactly where the most famous arcade game in the world was very first played, you can still point to that place on the map and say “it was here!” The legend of the very first Pac-Man has been confirmed by the creator of the game, Toru Iwatani, and is repeated every so often by Namco, especially around the anniversary date. The most concrete explanation this mythical location came in an interview with Wired magazine in 2010. The father of Pac-Man, Toru Iwatani himself said quote… “May 22 wasn't the launch date, it was the first location test…. The game was taken to a building in Shibuya that no longer exists. It was a thin, chimney-shaped building with seven or eight floors, consisting of several movie theaters. On the top floor, there was a very long, narrow room where the couples, having just seen movies, would go up to have a little enjoyment before they returned home.” This little bit of info was enough to jump start the inquiry of where the first Pac-Man was played. Am I right? I hope so. Only Toru Iwatani himself could say more...

Being a writer is fun because every time you write something you can encounter it later and say "lol who wrote this garbage" and then realize that it was you

Being an artist is fun because every time you draw something, you look back at it later and go “how did I draw that”

What are some numbers in your field that anyone else in it would identify without even thinking about it, but folk outside may have no idea. Just the numbers, no explanations. Yet. 105 148 210 297 420 594 841 1189

It's wild to me in this era reading an interview where a chief executive looks like exactly the kind of person you want at the helm: clear vision, not distracted by obviously fake trends, has actual instinct/insight to the art instead of being a word soup dispenser.
