Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Mouse control? Just use your arrow keys, that worked great for me. That is until I hit a corner (not all the corners line up) with a ghost right behind me.Cranbiz wrote:Cute. I need better mouse control.
Thanks for posting this, Lasolimu! I need to remember to switch from iGoogle to Classic Google every so often to check out the special things they do sometimes.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

If you hit insert coin while playing it opens a special 2 player version with Ms. Pacman controlled with wasd.
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

Google has decided to keep Pacman alive. It can be found at http://www.google.com/pacman/.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
