			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Retro game fans looking to make a fashion statement on a rainy day, look no further. This is the rain poncho to end all rain ponchos. The next time it rains where you live, skip the umbrella, and go with the Pac-Man poncho instead.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93448" title="pac_man_poncho" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pac_man_poncho.jpg" alt="pac man poncho" width="600" height="599" /></p>
<p><span id="more-93447"></span>Actually, it&#8217;s not really a Pac-Man poncho, it&#8217;s a Blinky ghost poncho, and it&#8217;s actually just called the &#8220;retro arcade poncho,&#8221; presumably to avoid any nastiness from Namco&#8217;s crack legal team. Regardless of its name, the poncho will look great on any retro game guy or gal, and keep the rainwater off your head and shoulders as it pours down (though it won&#8217;t keep you from turning blue and being eaten by a giant yellow dot-gobbling creature.)</p>
<p>You can grab the <del>Pac-Man</del> <del>Blinky</del> Retro Arcade Poncho over at <a href="http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/gift-novelty/retro-arcade-poncho-red/10592528.html">I Want One of Those</a> for £5.99 ($~10 USD.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve got a bad case of Pac-Man fever, see a doctor and take something for it. Then after you feel better, think about getting this fun retro table for your house.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70537" title="pac_man_tabletop" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pac_man_tabletop.jpg" alt="pac man tabletop" width="600" height="500" /></p>
<p><span id="more-70472"></span>These Pac-Man ghost tables are made by Austin, Texas artist Ryan Fitzpatrick of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/MastersOfFate">Masters of Fate</a>, and can be made in pretty much any ghostly color scheme you&#8217;d like. Inky, Blinky, Pinky, or Clyde &#8211; they&#8217;re all available &#8211; since each table is handmade, of course.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70538" title="pac_man_ghost_table" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pac_man_ghost_table.jpg" alt="pac man ghost table" width="600" height="490" /></p>
<p>Each  hand-painted wood table measures 33&#8243; x 36&#8243;, and you can request whatever height legs you want, so Blinky can work as a coffee table, laptop desk, or even a small cafe table when you&#8217;re gobbling down some power pellets for dinner.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70539" title="pac_man_ghost_table_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pac_man_ghost_table_2.jpg" alt="pac man ghost table 2" width="600" height="448" /></p>
<p>You can find the Pac-Man ghost table over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/82087375/pac-man-ghost-table-coffee-table-kitchen">Etsy</a> for $200 (USD).</p>

<p>According to the artist, they&#8217;re made from &#8220;graffiti, wood, paint and pixels&#8221; &#8211; four ingredients that probably are all I&#8217;d need to survive on a desert island &#8211; assuming I get to keep my iPhone, wireless service, satellite dish, HDTV, DVR, PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and some Red Vines too.</p>
<p>Ghosters are available individually over at <a href="http://arcadeart.etsy.com">ArcadeArt&#8217;s Etsy shop</a> for $7.50 (USD) each.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stanley Wong and Tyler Russel have made a Pac-Man movie from the ghosts&#8217; perspective that is quite a hilarious piece of filmmaking. If you are (or ever have been) a retro gaming geek, then you&#8217;ll probably want to spend the 5 minutes it takes to watch this.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4163 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/pacman.jpg" alt="pacman" width="520" height="341" title="pacman photo" /></p>
<p>The premise is simple: this is the Pac-Man story from the rarely imagined viewpoints of those pesky ghosts, Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. To achieve this cinematically, the filmmakers have asked grown adult actors to don plastic tablecloths and deliver their lines with absolutely no sense of irony. Check out the video here:</p>

<p>Interesting how your perspective can change. Don&#8217;t you kind of think Pac-Man is a bastard now?</p>
<p>Someone get these guys a contract with Miramax, stat!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve got a (Pac-Man) fever, and the only prescription is more Blinky. Well the good news is that there are certainly plenty of Pac-Man&#8217;s ghostly pals to go around on these most excellent sneakers from designer Ben Sherman.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/ben_sherman_blinky_shoes.jpg" alt="ben sherman blinky shoes"  title="ben sherman blinky shoes photo" /></p>
<p>Sherman&#8217;s aptly-named Blinky Shoes are covered from end-to-end with tons of little monochromatic ghosts, with just one red Blinky hidden on each shoe. If you&#8217;re a true Pac-Man fanatic, you simply must wear these everywhere you go. I think they&#8217;d look especially good with a matching <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/12/19/pac-man-maze-hoodie-is-amazingly-ugly/">Pac-Man hoodie</a>.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re ready to hit the streets, you can grab a pair from the Gap&#8217;s <a href="http://www.piperlime.com/browse/product.do?cid=37351&amp;pid=565084&amp;scid=565084002">Piperlime</a> ($60/pair) or if you want a real bargain, check out <a href="http://www.onlineshoes.com/productpage.asp?gen=m&amp;pcid=110384">OnlineShoes.com</a> (currently on sale for $39.95 a pair).</p>
