Surely, this should be the next Olympic Sport. No? Oh, very well then. Back to what you were doing… (My wife is going to kill me for linking to that. It’s been nice knowing you all…)

Random gaming thoughts from the brain of Alex: I’ve been having a lot of fun with Pac-Man CE on Xbox Live, but it took me some time to work out exactly why. I’m only a moderate fan of the original, whose charms were somewhat lost on me when the whole business with predictable patterns was
