Pac-Man Ghost Dress: You Spilled Some Inky on Yourself

I’m not sure from whence this Pac-Man ghost dress originated, but it’s pretty great. I especially like the pixelated fringing on the bottom of this short little number, done up to look like Inky, the cyan ghost.

All I know is that it’s way cuter, and more accurate than this one (and who here knew that Newegg sold costumes?) Now if you could only stop staring at her eyes…

Plastic Tablecloths + Brilliance = Pac-Man: the Movie

Stanley Wong and Tyler Russel have made a Pac-Man movie from the ghosts’ perspective that is quite a hilarious piece of filmmaking. If you are (or ever have been) a retro gaming geek, then you’ll probably want to spend the 5 minutes it takes to watch this.

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:

Interesting how your perspective can change. Don’t you kind of think Pac-Man is a bastard now?

Someone get these guys a contract with Miramax, stat!

Pac-Man Inky Ghost Bag: Booyah!

I came across this funky Pac-Man inspired bag over on Etsy earlier today. Handmade by Melissa and Zach of New York’s hobocampcrafts, the bag features the likeness of one of the dot-gobbler’s ghostly nemeses, Inky.

Using a bunch of carefully selected buttons, the artists stitched together the blue ghost from the classic 80s arcade game. Measuring in at 13″ x 13″ square, the creators of this fun accessory says it’s “just the right size for carrying your Halloween candy haul or simply lugging your favorite Atari cartridges over to your best friend’s house”.

The bag is just $20 here, but like most things on Etsy, it’s a one-of-a-kind creation. So like a ghost on the run, you’d better move fast.
