Pac-Man Fever

Understanding the algorithm of the ghosts from Pac-Man:
“To give the game some tension, I wanted the monsters to surround Pac Man at some stage of the game. But I felt it would be too stressful for a human being like Pac Man to be continually surrounded and hunted down. So I created the monsters’ invasions to come in waves. They’d attack and then they’d retreat. As time went by they would regroup, attack, and disperse again. It seemed more natural than having constant attack.”
- Toru Iwatani, Pac-Man creator
I wonder if Billy Mitchell knows this. Hmm.

Here's a hot chick in a bikini.
