Ten Reasons Why Pac-Man Sucks

[War Penguin]

Satire. Now in "hit and miss" form. Damn.

 

[crypt-creature]

Hm.
The problem I have with this piece is that the sarcasm doesn't really come through that well. It should be a little more obvious that he is mocking individuals who act like that. A few italics or 'pauses' in their work would have done the job.

Emphasis within writing. Will have more, please.

 

[Cryofthewolf]

I sincerely hope that this is a joke. I think so, but I have a knack for not detecting sarcasm. =-/

 

[imaloony]

Where'd number 5 go?

I've never been much of a Pac-Fan. I'm more of a Galaga man.

 

[lacktheknack]

Humor fail, the Google version has multiplayer with Mrs. Pac-Man, killing points 3 and 7.

I don't find this type of thing to be funny.

 

[EBHughsThe1st]

The fail meter and flamebait meter are slowly rising.
And it looks like the douche-gauge had hit 9.

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

Ah, poorly disguised satire. It makes my stomach churn to see that finest of humors abused in such a way; at least he could've been subtle in his critique of the modern day games industry. 'Tis a shame, 'tis a shame, and an even greater shame still that so few of our ostensibly intellectual community can understand the meaning of this particular piece; I imagine that if they were perchance presented with "A Modest Proposal" then a rash of infant slashings would spring up about the land like so many satirically disabled weeds. Rest in peace, ye holiest of wordy muses, and know that your legacy goes to ground with you.

Truly, how can it be that such a large group of people, each of who are supposedly possessed of excessive cleverness and wisdom, miss this man's point in such a stupendous fashion? Do they not see that he is mocking the furor with which modern-day artists pursue graphical perfection? Are they truly blind to his blatant statement about the oversexualization and gratuitous violence present in many modern-day titles? How can they miss his lament of times gone by, when games were for one and all, and anyone could happily join in? Why, oh why, are these numerous professed geniuses ignorant of his disdain for taxing game engines and absurd system requirements, or the way he out-and-out says that he is joking? Has the ego of the great Escapist community at last swallowed its brain? Truly, I am ashamed to think that the community I was once proud to be part of has succumbed to the devils of hubris and misguided nostalgia, and that the deviants and trolls may be the wisest of us.

Escapist, I am dissappoint. Very disappoint indeed.


On an unrelated note, I seriously didn't think much of Pac-man.

Tee hee, big words tickle my brain.

I can't even tell if YOU are joking or not, but I guess that's the way the world is headed.

Bear in mind that the gradual destruction of inteligence and respect for the fine arts has stemmed from the altering of evolution by the miracle that is modern medicine so that it now only favors those that reproduce the most.

This is kind of pathetic.

That's the most obvious satire I've ever seen. How can people actually be dense enough to think he's serious?

 

[conchshellthegeek7]

Ohhhh, my God, I'm getting veryinvalid flashbacks...

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Lol I love this post.

I imagine that if they were perchance presented with "A Modest Proposal" then a rash of infant slashings would spring up about the land like so many satirically disabled weeds.

And "A Modest Proposal' is hilarious.

 

[TrogzTheTroll]

Escapist, I am dissappoint. Very disappoint indeed.

Wow, trying that extraordinarily hard to be loquacious and then following it up with a 4chan meme has got to be the most counter-productive use of the English language I've ever witnessed. If you're going to lead by example, PICK A DIRECTION.

Hey guise, this guy used a meme, which means its obviously related to 4chan and I NEED TO BERATE HIS INTELLEGENCE!
+25 experiance.
Level up!
You've reached Level 7
You learned "Being ignorant on the internet."

 

[Feste the Jester]

Wow...

Thats...wow.

I don't really like Pac-Man either, but still, this guy sounds like a complete and utter wanker.
Also:

"Modern games should be played in online multiplayer."?

Way to go there and make a completely false, inaccurate, uneducated, all-encompassing statement without merit that can easily be torn down with the most basic of examples there, dipshit.

To me, this sounds like the ramblings of a 14 year-old ritalin-popping high-school drop-out with way too much time on his hands, who spends half his time hiding his porn-stash from his mum and the other half swearing at people over CounterStrike voice-chat.

To David Hill, and all who think likewise:

Get a fucking life, you sad losers.

note the sarcasm in the OP

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

Not really that funny. Still, it's awesome to see Pac-Man turn 30. The Google page was awesome.

 

[superbatranger]

Gave me a chuckle, especially number 9.

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

This is kind of pathetic.

That's the most obvious satire I've ever seen. How can people actually be dense enough to think he's serious?

Welcome to the Internets. Enjoy your stay, and the copious amounts of derp.

 

[reg42]

This is an example of someone completely missing the point.

EDIT: Unless it's a joke, which it definitely could be.
Yep, it's a joke.

 

[Just Craig]

Holy cow, this thread is still going?
...Anyway, thanks to you all who liked my drawing!

 

[Zayren]

I hate this thread. I read the OP, laughed, and then read the comments. I hate this thread so much.
