Astronomers now know that the Saturnian system has not one, but two "Pac-Man" moons — and there could be many, many more.

Josh Gilbert has come up with a brilliantly simple idea for the classic fantasy film Labyrinth: turn it into a maze-filled arcade game in the style of Pac-Man. Gilbert has the poster; now could someone please make this an actual game? Let me know if you need help pixelating David Bowie's junk.

Zach Weiner of the webcomic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal has stared into the heart of Pac-Man and discovered the horror at its core. In his latest comic, he proposes a chilling backstory for the hungry video game hero, one that's a far cry from the smiling yellow creature you see on the arcade cabinet.

There is going to be a Pac-Man reality TV show. Think Wipeout with ghosts and giant cherries. We want in — I would seriously MURDER some ghosts.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft collected the clearest images of Saturn's icy moon Mimas, whose resemblance to the Death Star is often remarked upon. And when Cassini mapped Mimas' temperatures, they found... Pac Man? It's the pop-culture crossover you never expected.
