The most adorable game of real-life Pac-Man you'll see today

As further proof that geek Dads are the very best Dads, YouTube user nglemb demonstrates that all you need to forge a lasting Father-son memory with your progeny is painter's tape, mini-marshmallows and a little imagination.

made my morning.

Thats right kid,

Its hard to play Pacman

screw the 5 second rule!

Oh my gosh he's eating off the floor, he'll get a disease and die you know!!!1

Well, anyone who would say that with a straight face would certainly deserve to be downvoted, so I can't argue about that. But to put my sarcasm in context, I have on several occasions found months-old Skittles in the floor of my car and gobbled them up. Still tastes like rainbows :p

@darkinchworm

colour me surprised that enough people missed the humour in your comment to get you downvoted.

+1 from me guy.

@darkinchworm they most likely clean the floor first

@MrChow They're walking on it. Specially the father with his sandals. You say he cleaned his sandals?

The dad had a spartan shirt.

Whoa, nice green hair on the little guy.

That kid is a god-damn cheater.

@gundamxzero

Yeah, he's clearly glitching through the "walls". Ban him! :-P

@gundamxzero
Guess before the video, his mom told him about game genie.

Is it my lack of soul that makes me not enjoy some green haired kid eating entirely too many marshmellows?

@carmaction

Yes. Yes it is.

@carmaction
No, it's the fact that an American misspelling "marshmallow" is a crime punishable by death.

@Warlock234
I'll try to take puffed sugar a bit more seriously. I'll also email Joystiq's editorial staff for their crude mispelling of 'joystick.' Personally, I'm not sure how you tolerate it.

@carmaction
I like that you came back with wit instead of being a prick about it. Well played. ...You still lack a soul.

Best dad ever. Wish my dad was like that!

dad gets an "awesome"

I wish my dad loved me that much.

I don't know, the Remi Gaillard real life Pac-Man was pretty great.

Awesome, anything that gets family together and bonding is always great.

@Nook

...except murder and dismemberment...and other socially damaging acts.

@Nook
The Corleon family...

Reminds me of when I used to watch my mom and dad playing Donkey Kong Country 2. Diddy was my favorite character and I loved the dance he did at the end of every level he won, so my parents bought me a mini boombox, a red tank top, and a red hat so I could dance with him and pretend I was Diddy.

Bleh... wish he wasn't eating them straight off the floor.

I wanted to see the kid, or dad for that matter, teleport from one side of the "map" to the other. This was awesome in and of itself but that would have made it magnificent.

Can't wait to see the championship version - though that would be strictly played by adults... on acid.

This is adorable.

On a side note, the dad is awesome, but he probably should put on some underwear.

Zoidberg was right - they DO taste like marshmallows!

Ban the dirty wall-hacker!
