Or, if David Lynch ever made a video game movie, it would look something like this…

BTW, the inspiration behind the clip is this classic quote by Kristian Wilson, a Nintendo spokesperson circa 1989: “Computergames don´t affect kids; I mean, if Pac Man affected us as kids we´d all be running around in darkened rooms, muncing magic pills an listening to repetitive electronic music.”

Even then she mush have realized how silly she sounded ten second after saying that, let alone how many years after the fact. But yeah, video games are a helluva drug!
