Just because you’re a geek doesn’t mean your crafty enough to solve a rubics cube. Hell, I’ll admit it. Those stupid things get me every time. Part of the problem is I don’t have the patience. If you’re in the same yacht with me, you will want to avoid at all costs the 12-surfaced Penta-cube (the official name is much too long and utterly ridiculous to repeat) pictured above. The picture and and title are self explanatory. Keeping track of this many little squares boggles my mind. I guess with added surfaces/difficulty comes a reason to charge more too! $49.99 for the chance to be repeatedly humiliated. I can’t wait…

Pac-Man Rubik’s Cube brings old school gaming to an old school toy

Depending on who you are, Rubik’s Cubes are either a pleasant yet thought provoking way to pass time or they’re an evil tool put forth by a Satan himself. Definitely two extremes. In reality, you either get it or you don’t. Regardless if you even like Rubik’s Cubes or not, the Pac-Man Rubik’s Cube causes a retro nostalgia to wallow up from within the older gamers bringing them back to a simpler time without fancy graphics and hundreds of hours of game play. In it’s completed state you’ll notice each side adorned with one of the following: Pac-Man, Blinky, Pinky, Inky, Clyde, and ghosts surrounding Pac-Man as he eats a cherry. Often times it is the little, simple things in life that bring the most joy or at least the most entertainment. If the mood is striking and you feel your old time gamer getting a second wind, stop on by PixelBrush’s Etsy page to pick up your Pac-Man cube. Heck, for only $7 how could you not?
