Punk was an inevitable response to both progressive rock and disco. Just as modernism was the inevitable response to romanticism. Technical skill was not really relevant to either punk or modernism. That said, in a 21st Century video game people have expectations about how it will look and sound. You can’t get away with a Ms. PacMan arcade game anymore. ---

Man, I loved Ms. Pac-man. I wonder, could it be as popular now-a-days? ---

Yeah I used to watch that Pacman saturday morning cartoon with Mr. and Ms. Pacman (who were married with packids iirc) ---

Anyone else here grow up in the 80s? Remember arcades? Boulder Dash, Dragon’s Lair, Pac-Man and the various spinoffs, pinball machines. All the arcades disappeared about the same time that single screen theaters did. ---

Me and my sister were talking the other day about how funny it was a few years ago that her kids thought that it was really cool that microsoft made this really cool new game that they had added to windows alongside solitaire and minesweeper…pacman ---

Okay, I get that art can be an emotional topic for some people, but when you cuss like this poster did talking about Monet vs Manet, you’re gonna get yourself and your posts deleted. Also, it’s never a good idea to talk about the mod’s mother in these discussions. So now the only evidence that Jeff whatsisname was ever here is the continuing discussion about art. ---

Well, that was an interesting first and last post for someone. Hail and farewell, Jeff Whoeveryouwere, we hardly knew ye. Somewhere in the middle of that, though there was an interesting germ of an idea. But really, I don’t think that when Edouard Manet got old, he changed his style and altered his signature to read “Monet.” ---

Dude you are going to get banned just for this part alone!: > [@Jeff Whoeveryouwere](#): > > So, yes, I am a Jerk, so F you.

You never saw the two of them in the same room at the same time. Or did you? This is from another website, prolly copyrighted but who cares right? Once again I am a jerk > > “The Grand Channel is not the only plot which would make you think who is who. Once both artists looked out their windows. Monet was impressed with the colurs and he painted a red - white - blue holiday. Manet got used to notice people on streets and he saw a bit different picture, a one - legged soldier who didn’t let France forget about their shame war 7 years ago.” ---

well, its waaaay past my bedtime and **Jeff** you’re violating the prime directive of this board “Don’t Be A Jerk”. I’d suggest dialing it back a notch, maybe reviewing board rules. that said, I do owe you a thanks because you’ve bored me enough to overcome my insomnia. ---

look, pal, it’s relatively simple, I am not gay or even bi. Masculinity does not excite me, but if a woman is feminine and sexy and the relationship is good, if she used to have a penis or heck even if she still does, I’m not going to care. it doesn’t matter what their artistic ability is or is not and what does art and Manet or Monet have to do with it anyway? And motor oil? wtf? ---
