Nerds Are The Best

Seriously, nerds create the most awesome things in the world. For instance, a group of them hacked some Roombas and set up a program to recreate the classic Pac-Man arcade game. Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde all move independently with their own AI while chasing Pac-Man, who comes complete with pellet sucking eating abilities. They've even added in Pac-Man's little death spin after he gets hit by a ghost! Check out the video after the jump...





These are the kind of things that makes me think all those many, many, many years I've spent playing video games will eventually pay off in some sort of The Wizard-esque moment where I triumphantly vindicate myself from my mother's nagging.
