PacManhattan Relocates Classic Game To New York Streets
Matt Slaybaugh writes "Some classmates of mine have developed a 'large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York City grid to recreate the 1980's video game sensation Pac-Man.' One player dresses up as Pac-Man and tries to cover the full Greenwich Village grid, while 4 others dressed as Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde try to catch him. Everyone reports their positions to their respective generals, who monitor progress on a central control board. I can't wait for the real-world implementation of Donkey Kong."
No kidding. Crappy jokes abound here on /.

All that comes to mind is 'get a life'. You live in one of the world's great cities, and all you can find to do is simulate an old arcade game? Is there really nothing more constructive, that perhaps engages in the world about you, that you can find to do? I'm sick to death of being associated in the minds of the non-nerd public with self indulgent, overgrown kids who see no reason to use their talents and energy to contribute to, or even participate, in the society they live in. Please take the website down, masturbation is better done in private.
