The hidden truth about video games

At their core, video games are meant as a simple form of entertainment. But did you know that some titles have hidden meanings buried deep within their souls? Okay, so we're exaggerating but according to our paranoid and delusional minds, there are video games out there that are harboring some Hidden Truths, so put your tinfoil hats on and get ready to see the light!


Pac-Man
The premise: As the disc shaped Pac-Man, you have to clear various mazes of pellets while avoiding contact with four enemy ghosts.
The Hidden Truth: Consume or die.
It's fitting that Pac-Man was released in 1980, right after what is commonly known as the "Me Decade" (1970's) had concluded and the money obsessed 80's had just begun. While the game seems innocent enough, it's obvious that it is actually a commentary on popular consumer culture. Pac-Man is an allegorical character meant to represent the average consumer while the pellets represent material possessions. Think about it: the only way for Pac-Man, who was depicted as a featureless mouth, to progress was to "consume" everything on the board and the only way you could gain power over your enemies was to eat the biggest and shiniest pellets available. They might as well have replaced the pellets with televisions and SUVs and named the ghosts Boredom, Loneliness, Doubt and Pain. Now, if you"ll excuse me, I have to go to the mall.

Ohhhh no...

*leaves topic*
What can you do to end the hunger?
It's no surprise that many will die with the coming shortage of food
When there is no grain to feed the butchered cows
When there is nothing to feed yourselves...
Then you will see that money can't be eaten.
