Google Debuts First Playable Doodle

The arcade version of Pac-Man first launched in Tokyo, Japan on May 22, 1980. which makes today the 30th anniversary of the seminal video game! To celebrate, search engine Google has unveiled its first playable doodle. That's it above. But it's more than just a doodle. You can actually play Pac-Man on Google's page. Check out the video under the "Read More" tag.


Google's Pac-Man is equipped with many unique characteristics from the original game. From preserving the distinct personalities of the ghosts Inky (blue: fickle), Blinky (red: chaser), Pinky (pink: ambusher) and Clyde (orange: slow) to re-creating programming bugs from the original game like a "kill screen" on level 256, Sr. User Experience designer at Google, Marcin Wichary, along with Google doodler, Ryan Germick, remained as faithful to the spirit of Pac-Man as possible.

So go to google, click on the "insert coin" button and play the game. Users have 48 hours to reach the 255th level until the doodle goes down on the 256th.

White House says it is creating 'very large' dossier on Washington Post journalist and others.

    This is not okay.   For the record, I hate the phrase "This is not okay", but this is NOT okay.  To be fair, I'm certain that he's not the first POTUS to create dossiers on, well, anyone.  But this is an intimidation tactic, plain and simple.  I mean, POTUS is pretty fucking lazy, so there may not be any dossiers.        'Cept, his folks will have to do whatever he tells them to do either because it's their job or because of the allure of power...and maybe out of some sick form of civic duty.        As if gathering info of journalists in order to shut them up is patriotic.        Last I checked, it was the very antithesis of the American way .      November 2nd can't get here soon enough.         This is not a myth, POTUS.
