Remember Dig Dug?
Remember the arcade game “Dig Dug” from the 80s? It’s the one where you play this guy who digs holes through the ground trying to get all the monsters before they escape. I don’t know what got me thinking about this game, but here’s what I realized: You’re playing this guy wearing a space suit who can magically make tunnels through the dirt wherever he walks. Your goal is to catch up to a monster, impale it with an air hose, and pump it full of air until it explodes. That’s just nasty.
I hope they never decide to make a movie out of it because, eww, I don’t think I could handle the gore. I’m grossed out enough as it is when aliens burst out of someone’s chest. I can’t even watch those scenes, I have to cover my eyes like a five-year-old until the screaming stops.
Anyway, Dig Dug—fun game, terrible movie concept. Thank you.

The mobile phone today is a matter of culture and not a status symbol anymore. The samsung phones and motorola phones are the good representatives of cell phone industry today. The nokia phones are right on the top because of their quality and user friendly techniques. In the cell phone trees the highest branch is occupied by the nokia phones. The wireless phones using cell phone technology is very much in vogue today. We breathe in a cell phone culture which is as old as ten years.
