Randomtoyd: Steampunk Pacman (a.k.a. Pac Gentleman)
blehman | 3:06 PM on 11.02.2007 10 comments


So apparently there's a toy show called Spit & Polish running right now, but I can't find anything on it, because my internet matlock card gets revoked while I'm drinking. But I did find some groovy pictures of a steampunk rendition of pacman, artfully titled: "The Secret History of Video Games: Pac Gentleman". It was done by a guy named Doktor A, and he had this to say about it:

"When this game was first released in 1880 it was so hugely popular in taverns and inns that the bank of England was forced to mint more threepenny bits to keep up with demand. The game was created by messrs Nam & Nam and Co. as a novelty pastime for the masses. Outdoing the previous top public house game of Shove Ha’penny. “

But fuck what he has to say, you tell me? You want pictures? Well, feast your eyes d-toiders:





Now that's not the only thing being shown at said event, but since I can't find the damn website, here's a link to the next best thing. Where I found it. It shows other toys being shown, and the show is being run until November 31st at Cardboard Spaceship in California, USA.

Edit: WOW!!!! Extra special thanks to knives for the links in his comment. If you think this is cool, check out the other stuff Doktor A has done.

For Wiisucks:
Hi! My name is Jack Klassen.! I'm a completely ordinary teenage boy from San Diego, California. My interests include soccer, surfing, writing poetry, and luge. I am homeschooled by my father who fought in the Korean War and was exposed to nerve gas. He is kind of crazy but I still love him. We got the Internet two years ago and I started making new friends on Yahoo! messenger. Surprisingly, most of these new friends were older men who wanted to have illegal, underage sex with me. Needless to say, I got a boner like a rocketship and cybersex quickly became my favorite thing in the entire world. Wait, did I say boner like a rocketship? I meant my vagina got as wet as Lake Titicaca. I started saving all of the hot chat sessions I was having with the Pakistanis, lesbians, child molesters and other monsters who were instant messaging me all day and all night, and I decided to put them up here on this website so you can see exactly how disgusting the entire human race is. Since then, I have been in a waterskiing accident that mangled my genitals beyond repair, been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, brain cancer, and Crohn's disease, learned to speak Urdu and French, covered my naked body in superglue, went to French lesbian camp, made a Hindu eat a roast beef sandwich out of my vagina, and ruined perfectly good cybersex for at least one hundred people. Use the menu above to find out more about me and start reading my sexy adventures,





Also, I make people from Pheonix Wright cry:


Also, also, sparkle:


Also, also, also, jiggles:


Also, also, also, also, Trent!

Also, X-mas Shake(a.k.a. itemforty is teh sex)
