Mary T.M., Mannix, and Kane from Alien. Wow, RIP all of them. I enjoyed them all. John Hurt was also the mad emperor Caligula on "I, Claudius" from the 70's. Wow, he was over-the-top but really good in that!
Anyway, hey Jim! How the heck are you?

 Pac-Man Creator Masaya Nakamura Dies at 91 The Japanese business giant who helped put Pac-Man on the path to chomping dots and ghosts has gone to the great arcade in the sky. Masaya Nakamura, founder of Namco, died on January 22 ... according to a release from the company on Monday. Namco released Pac-Man in 1980 ... and has been inhaling dots at record pace ever since. The game was named the highest-grossing arcade game of all time last year. |

Makes sense especially as arcade games are pretty much a relic of the past and nowhere near as prominent as they were in the 80s.
