Alright so everyone knows white is the classic wedding color, with black suits being common too, but what if you want something more exciting for more than two people?

Ta-da!

Honestly I was just thinking about RGB for me and my gfs and then I started getting ideas for how to apply this farther

Atari lore is that there were more copies of Pac-Man produced than Atari 2600 units to play them, and when including Pac-Man as a pack-in game alongside Combat wasn't depleting the stack fast enough -- and E.T. was also over-produced and underwhelming --- tons of these titles were dumped in a landfill in the Alamogordo, New Mexico desert with some other overstock. Pac-Man and E.T. were examples of games rushed to market which, no offense to Tod Frye or HSW, needed a bit more time and programming trickery to be what they were being promoted as and having good gameplay.

What I'm getting to here is that there's no unsealed copy of Atari 2600 Pac-Man (which wasn't excavated) that is worth $100.

Now that's an odd, very angry looking balloon... Couldn't let the day end without celebrating proper, happy 44th Pac!

Of course Lara Croft is more iconic than Mario, Sonic, Link and the rest, you can cry about it all you want in the replies on Twitter but it's the truth.

She's the most successful woman to ever hit video games.

She jump-started the action adventure genre.

She revolutionised 3D gaming.

She inspired tons of imitations and her likeness (dual pistols, long braid, blue tank top + brown pants combo) continues to be applied to various degrees in female characters to this day.

She has stayed relevant across decades.

She was the very first and only video game character to become a pop culture icon and be treated as a celebrity in the 90s, appearing in magazine covers, advertisements for Séat, Lucozade, Visa etc., touring with U2 and having her own publicist.

She has won multiple Guinness awards.

She has been portrayed by two Oscar-winning actresses.

Her games have been extremely successful, both critically and commercially, and she has outlived her main and only competitor, Nathan Drake.

Lara Croft IS video games. It's just facts
