Quantcast



Feast your eyes on the video above, marvel at its greatness, and join us in a virtual hand clapping for those creative lads and lassies in Madrid responsible for making this baby a reality. 

I have no clue what the lady is saying, but I would imagine it to be something down the lines of "I offer this gift of epic greatness to the almighty Destructoid robot and his minions." In actuality it's probably something a lot less exciting, but we'll pretend to overlook that minor detail.

No matter what the verbiage is surrounding this, we can all agree that the yellow, pellet eater and his buddies have come a long way since those crazy days of the early 80s.  Mr. Pac-Man and your awesome Christmas tree, we salute you. Way to go, staying relevant 20-something years later.

I imagine some company selling a harness that attaches to the top and allows you to circle the tree as you move from board to board. I'd hit that up in a nanosecond.

So... since when have christmas trees not had to have actual trees involved? Isn't this more a christmas pyramid? Or, seeing as it lacks any kind of christmas ornamentation, a pacman pyramid? And isn't pacman like totally way cooler than jesus anyway? I like asking rhetorical questions?

She just said, that she had heard about a new "digital Christmas tree" on Torre Europa building, and that its full of comecocos(something like coconut gobbler) I guess thats what they call Pacman in Spain..

@DjDuffy: on Brazil they speak Portuguese, not Spanish. The more you know.

that's what pac-man is called in spanish: "Come-Cocos".
Come being eat and Cocos being ghosts, which translates to "ghost eater".
