Puckman head cannon lore stuff under the cut. I'm having a normal one.

I am prefacing this with the not that most some of these are based on observations made from the Pacman World series, and Pac n Roll. Ive had a lot of thoughts about this guy, some influenced by the ideas of others that I've seen over the years.

We'll begin with early life. Puck hails from a small community of Pacs living in a rural hilly town. He doesn't have parents, and in turn is raised with the other kids in his community by the collective of the adults and families living there. He is a little offputting with how all over he can be, but works hard and has a keen eye for puzzles. He's not a straight-A student by any means, but he excels at history and helping out outside of school.

One fall he takes a bus out of town to Castle Pac, following a recommendation from a teacher, and stays over at Pac-Master's house for lessons in ghost hunting. His town had been haunted a few times before and thus he isn't unfamiliar with them, however his lack of skills in that area and general ease-of-fright isn't very helpful when they attack. It is here he struggles through becoming a pac-warrior, training hard to get better. He also meets Ms.P, Pac-Masters daughter and skilled warrior. He also helps along with the towns harvest festival, which happens to go a bit awry in the night with Golvis shows up.

After that, the two don't see each other for awhile. He returns to his home town for a bit before going abroad following lost legends. He winds up helping a professor out with some research, befriending a few pookas, and of course chasing a pesky set of ghosts who happen to hold a bit of a grudge.

He and Ms.P meet up at a night club in Pac City where they reconnect and exchange stories. Turns out she also was hired by Professor-Pac to help with research, and the two work together and hit it off. They have their first kid, 'Junior', and adopt their second kid later. Puck, squirrely as usual, sometimes goes overboard in trying to help his kids. Most cases he rambles on about plans, Ms.P winds up cutting him off sometime after Junior has walked away and begun doing something.

Misc notes: * Puck and Ms.P are t4t. They haven't married and they live together and have a funky QPR thing happening. * Junior is mute. * The ghost gang are frenemies with Puck. Sure they want him out of their plans, but also they will happily be invited over for lunch. (So long as they aren't on the menu) * Orson and him hang out sometimes. Orson is not afraid to make an invention that 'doesn't work properly' for the sake of inconveniencing Puck. He did blow up Orsons' Toc-Man after all. * The Fairy Queen appreciates his time and effort he puts into returning lost fairies to her or their homes. * I forgot the witches name but she's around. She wants Puck to explode forever, not happening though. (Her name is Ghost Witch)

I could genuinely spend hours browsing UNAUTHORIZON, a fascinating museum & database recording cloned video game consoles from around the world. It's well worth a visit if you've got a soft spot for knock off consoles like I do.

I've covered a few official clones before on my own website, but I never expected to find any unlicensed clones until today!

The top two are not really SEGA clones, but consolised MSX computers in a SEGA 8-bit form factor.

The "Puckman Family Computer" takes the form of the ultra rare Bit Corp / Telegames DINA 2 in 1, an unlicensed ColecoVision / SG-1000 clone (the two shared similar architecture, along with the MSX. This is why so many MSX games were unofficially ported to the SMS in Korea).

So it's an MSX clone, stuffed inside the case of another clone that cloned two other different but similar games consoles. Confused yet?

The King Lion strongly resembles the SG-1000 II case, but is also an MSX internally.

The final console takes the familiar and undying form of Nintendo's original Famicom. It looks much like the many Famiclones to have existed across the ages, except this Famiclone hides a secret. It's actually an SG-1000 and not a Famiclone at all!

If I see any more clones pop up in the future, I'll keep you posted.

minecraft SMP idea: FOOLSCRAFT

in each "season", the server switches to the next april fools update, starting with the love & hugs update and progressing chronologically

all the players, known as the "fools", play in survival mode, trying their best to survive in the joke of a world they're in. meanwhile, the server owner (aka the puckman) has creative mode and commands, and they use those features to help/hinder/mess around with the fools, often in ways that are funny for the audience and the fools alike.

in order for the next season to start, the fools have to complete some grand quest set out for them by the puckman, usually involving obtainment of the dragon egg and the nether star as well as several other hard-to-get items like emeralds and elytra.

whichever fool completes the grand quest gets a reward in the next world - perhaps a castle will be built for them, perhaps they will get an impossible item, or even five seconds in creative mode. like all else in foolscraft, it would all be up to the whims of the puck
