Dodgerchick · 05-21-2010, 12:39 PM

How fun! The way I control the up/down arrows I'll get carpel tunnel off of 2 games.

Dodgerchick · 05-21-2010, 12:46 PM

13,240 - I suck!

BTW, when you eat the energizer to you guys go after the ghosts or the dots? Most people fall under either one of these categories.

MJ4H · 05-21-2010, 12:47 PM

The energizer? Really? They are power pellets.

Try to get all 4 of them near you when you get one and eat all 4 since their point value doubles with each successive one you eat.

Basic pacman strategy yo

Go after the dots. Who cares about points? The goal is to complete as many levels as you can.

That Pac-Man game is neat, but the fact it plays the sound without warning or requiring you to click on anything pisses me off. Google should know better.

Passacaglia · 05-21-2010, 03:43 PM

Also, who wants to play Pac Man shaped like the google logo? Isn't it much better in its typical shape?

M GO BLUE!!! · 05-21-2010, 03:57 PM

Know these two things about the ghosts:

1. When you eat the power pellet, they reverse direction.

2. They are the unresting souls of your grandparents.

korme · 05-21-2010, 04:02 PM

this "pac-man" thing looks fun, and quite simple. who came up with it?

Watching the Arkansas-Vanderbilt baseball game online and in the middle of the inning, the pac-man music and sounds start coming over the broadcast. The play-by-play guys were puzzled and said "pac-man is playing in our ears for some strange reason." Pretty obv the board operator accidentally started up google pac-man.

Google Pac-Man Gobbles Up $120M of Work Time - TIME NewsFeed

Google Pac-Man Gobbles Up $120M of Work Time
By: GLEN LEVY (3 hours ago)

Least surprising story of the week? The study released Tuesday showing that the playable version of the classic video game Pac-Man on Google’s front page has eaten up five million hours of work time.

Since May 21, people around the planet have been celebrating 30 years of Pac-Man by playing Google’s version on its homepage (which, as Techland pointed out, is pretty faithful to the original).

But now the stats are available on just how many people played and for how long. And it makes for eye-watering reading. Software firm Rescue Time, thanks to its time-tracking software, can observe where workers go online. Typically, the company suggests, about 22 daily searches on Google are conducted, each lasting around 11 seconds. By putting Pac-Man up, the average time shot up to around 36 seconds, the firm said based on the browsing habits of 11,000 Rescue Time users.

And get this: Rescue Time reckons this is a relatively low figure because not everyone realized that to play, you had to click on the “insert coin” button. If you apply the results of the above to the — gulp — 504 million unique users who visit the main Google page each day, this is an increase of 4.8 million hours. That’s, ahem, just under 550 years. As for lost productivity in dollar terms, by assuming that people are paid $25 an hour, this equates to about $120m.

So definite food — or in Pac-Man’s case, pills — for thought when you need that gaming fix. And perhaps the next study released on wasted hours in the workplace will be based on the time spent reading articles such as these. Game over indeed.

Solid.

Pumpy Tudors · 05-25-2010, 04:56 PM

I don't know why people got so engrossed in the Google Pac-Man game. I mean, it's Pac-Man. Didn't everyone get tired of that about 25 years ago? Now, if they made a Google Elevator Action game, it'd be fuckin' ON.

A friend had Elevator Action for the NES when I was a kid. When I first saw it, I couldn't fathom it being any fun. An elevator game, really? But... it wasn't bad.
