Wait i dont understand is that pacman game burned in like that or is that some camera exposure non-sense?

If it's the former WOW. We owned some stand up arcades that my dad some how got (they all were half broken, I think my dad got them doing some person's driveway or something) and They never achieved that amount of burn in, that's some decades level white out there.

I also have a heavy disdain for screensavers, I mostly feel like monitors can be turned off when not in use.

But then again I own a plasma tv too ....

They can be totally cool tho, bruh:

edit: why the fuck is it in vertical.

Why the fuck isn't there an easy way to post videos quickly.

Anyways it's a screensaver that has arcade games running in an emulator. You can press a button and start playing them. IT'S COOL, I promise, it looks like a CRTV and stuff, I wish I could just FUCKING SHOW YOU.

Here's someone else's video of it:

That is the newest Pac Man machine in Rachel NV.

It's nice to find someone else who was absolutely GOBSMACKED by the amount of burn-in evidenced in this shot. Pretty sure that's a 1/60 second exposure at f/2.8.
