  • Atkins has ruined my Pacman Talents

    It's true folks...another solid reason not to engage yourselves in this dangerous and poorly thought out diet...it will actually do harm to your ability to play Pacman. As if this, by itself, were not dubious enough, it actually increases your desire to play Pacman. At least that's my experience folks.

    Sure it's true I haven't played this game since 1991, and sure it's true that I wasn't that great then. But the truth of the matter is that I have played it recently online, and I am worse now than before, and since the only thing that has changed since 1991 is my diet, it must be that.

    Anyone else experience diminished ghost-munching abilities while on induction? Also, are ghosts induction friendly? (Perhaps blinky, but not winky?) Also, what are the carb counts for the great big dots in the corner that make the ghosts edible?

    (Yes, I know I'm insane...but it's late)..Mods, does this count as a "review my diet" question, or more of an Induction question pertaining to side effects from the diet?

    I personally think the game hasn't changed, but just the way it's handled? I mean, the joystick was the BIG issue with our Pacman, and I must say, I was the Queen of Mean Mrs. Pacman as well at the bowling alley when the creators brought that out of hiding. If the joystick was too tight in the machine from not being broke in, you couldn't really go fast or around the corners to gobble the ghosts. But if the joystick was just right and loose, you could fly around that board faster than lighting and move on to the next round eating your way through the peaches and pretzels...going up the "rungs".

      So you're saying the stiffness of the joystick affects the outcome?
