Starry Night at the Arcade

I can’t think of a funny tagline for this one. It’s just another great piece of classic art turned into a great piece of video game art! By SirNosh

After seeing someone had beaten his High score in Pac-Man, Van Gogh cut of his right ear in depression.

My teacher told me Michelangelo only painted the Sistine Chapel because he bet Da Vinci couldn't make it to Level 4 on Donkey Kong. The more you know.

From the looks of things, they didn't just beat his high score, they made it to the kill-screen!

In all seriousness, the original picture is one of my favorite pieces of art. It's just... really good.

I seem to like this man more, each time he types something in the comments.

Glad to hear it, but your avatar is sending me mixed signals.

Is this one any better?

Much better, but now I just feel sad for poor Alpar.

For the past few years, Pac man reminds me of this image:


And Scott Pilgrim, though the line is never used in the comic.

I got Pac-Man fever.
And it's driving me crazy.
So crazy that I cut off my ear.

That's not how the song goes? What song?

Pac-man, the only character I could ever draw, period.

I have an ink wash portrait of the Redeemed Riven Splash art that I did myself. I'm rather proud of it, but I could do better if I practiced alot.

Starry starry night, paint your pixels white and red
Look out on a arcade maze with eyes that find the pac-man in the stage
Pellets on the hills, with the fruit and the power pills
Catch pac-man and the player chills, in 8 colors on the black pixelled land

For they could not lose you, and still your pathing was true
And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry starry night
He took your life as pac-mans often do,
But I could have told you, Blinky,
The power pellets make you vulnerable and turn blue.

I need some good puns here guys, PAC me up.

Can't think of a funny tagline? C'mon, Shawn. You need to reel us in better. You know first impressionism is key.

I'll show myself out....

Uh oh, a post about a game I can't make many jokes about? What do I do? What do I do?!

*Attempt to joke anyway

*admire scenery

*say nothing

>post image of a pac-man game that i'm not sure people like because no one talks about it.



Anyone remember this?

OH MAN PAC-MAN WORLD 2.
I HATED THAT SUB LEVEL.
The bosses were fine though, if a little repetitive. Or is that just nostalgia speaking?

You oughta take measures to make sure people understand what you're saying. The word "shameless" would have helped.

I swore I had a relevant Kickasso to go with this...

Oooh, that's creepy. I just finished an episode of Doctor Who on Netflix and it just so happened to be Season 5: Episode 10 Vincent and the Doctor...

Funny, I thought about making a reference to the thing in the window but then I scrapped it because I thought no-one would get it.

I was wrong, one person (at least I think you're a person) would have gotten it.

Because I just LOVE making comments for the emotional and comedic vindication for one person at a time.

But I seriously applaud you for watching Dr. Who. +1 to you, sir.

It just looks like the UV values for the vanillia textures are fucked, this is really easy to deal with.

Try installing a texture replacer pack and see if that helps. If so, then follow these steps in reverse order:

Relax, and run an antivirus or anti-malware program and see if you've got any infections that might be slowing you down. Also try to free up some memory by ending any extraneous processes you might be running.

If that doesn't work, update your drivers,

If that doesn't work, then uninstall your game, then reinstall it.

Unless your installation is possessed by satan, one off those solutions will work.

3 years of amateur game design experience and literally a lifetime of computer training says so.
