Check out today's Google doodle. It's Pac-Man! In honor of Pac-Man's 30th birthday, Google has dedicated its doodle to him, but that's not all! If you click insert coin (where "I'm feeling lucky" normally is) you can actually play the game! If you're still not impressed, click insert coin again for some two-player, Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man action! Happy birthday, Pac-Man; you're still the coolest completely yellow video game character of all time (sorry, Pikachu).

And yet, I still play. By the way, I’ve almost completely mastered cabbage!

I’m not really sure why I play Farmville and I’ve written about it on AllMyDealsAreLive.com. I have a new theory, though. I’m reading this book called Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. In the book, a cyber drug called Snow Crash wreaks some havoc on the Metaverse, which is like the way the Internet looked in Futurama. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go watch every episode of Futurama immediately. Anyway, my guess is that Farmville is some sort of similar cyber drug because there is no other rhyme or reason why anyone in their right mind would play and continue to play for months the way I have. As far as I can tell, I’m in my right mind so I’m pretty sure my insane cyber drug theory holds water.

Anyway, if you haven’t played Farmville, don’t start. If you have played, please fertilize some of my fake crops. Thanks!
