6:00AM AJ Glasser | What do you think of when you imagine going to the beach on a hot summer day? Sunblock, towels, bikinis maybe? Not me. I think about Galaga. More »

Ms. Pac-Man Gets Her Own Nikes
10:00AM Michael McWhertor | Nike isn’t shy about flirting with video game references for its Nike Skateboarding line of sneakers, having already released Dunks “inspired by” 720° and Skate or Die. And speaking of not shy… Ms. Pac-Man sneakers! More »

The … eh … Babes of Gaming
9:00AM Owen Good | The always droll Games Radar has come up with a list of the “mediocre” women of gaming — if by mediocre, you mean “somewhat sensibly proportioned and no gratuitous jiggle”. In other words, “girlfriend material”, a “compliment” that has gotten millions of insensitive, fumble-tongued 20-something males backhanded by their angry SOs. So, sorry, no bursting-at-the-cups Ivy from SCIV in this one, just good ol’ 2D renders, and maybe some cabinet art. The list features Marian from Double Dragon (seriously, they punched her in the stomach at the beginning of Double Dragon. And no one batted an eye!) Carmen Sandiego and Meryl Silverburgh from MGS. But leading off is Pauline from Donkey Kong, who’s dressed like she belongs in a polygamist cult. Pauline was sort of the George Lazenby of the Mario franchise. Made one big appearance and that was it, although she did get some TV work out of it. I hope Pauline’s still cashing royalty checks, spending them on cheap whiskey and ranting about Princess Peach.

5:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Joystick penis joke alert! Joystick penis joke alert! Above is a clip from a 2005 Hustler piece that featured a pantsu-less woman in a Ms. Pac-Man costume. The article includes lines like: Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket or are you happy to see me? So clever. Hit the jump for the full version. It’s from Hustler, so NSFW should be a given. That is, unless you work at Hustler, then it’s TOTALLY SAFE. More »
Revenge of the Haunted Ms. Pac-Man
10:00AM Brian Crecente | Someone call Scooby! Yesterday we wrote about the haunted Ms. Pac-Man that a Bostonian was giving away because it made his little girl cry and his wife run screaming from the house. We, and many of you, made jokes and laughed, saying how much we wish we could have gotten a free “haunted” Ms. Pac-Man cabinet. Well, apparently, the person who did land it isn’t so happy today. Was it a scam? No, says the new owner, but it was freakin’ haunted!!! More »
