For the past few weeks, Square Enix has been teasing a mystery project called “Project X.” A few hints about the title were shared, such as the fact that it is in the RPG genre. It seems as though an announcement is imminent, though. According to Square Enix’s David Hoffman’s Twitter account, it could be revealed as soon as next week.

“looks like we will be announcing Project X very soon! Fingers crossed for next week! Won’t you miss the suspense?”

If you were to ask someone what the first Pokemon ever created is, you’d probably receive answers such as Pikachu and Bulbasaur. In actuality, however, Rhydon – the 112th Pokemon registered in the Pokedex – was created first. That little factoid comes from Ken Sugimori, one of the original designers of the first generation of Pokemon titles.

That does make sense, as Rhydon’s data can be found first in Red/Green. Also, this explains the statues that you see when you first step into a gym in Pokemon Red/Blue. The icon doesn’t look like Rhydon completely, but it’s pretty darn close!

Thanks to Tim for the tip!

Believe it or not, Pac-Man turned the big 3-0 on Saturday. And to honor the video game character’s anniversary, Google replaced their logo with a fully-functional version of the arcade classic late last week. Fortunately, even though Google has reverted back to its normal self, Pac-Man is playable on a newly dedicated page.

The game contains 255 levels, along with the well-known glitch in the 256th level. Additionally, a second player can control Ms. Pac-Man with the “WASD” keys.

Today’s Pac-Man’s thirtieth anniversary, so you know what that means, right? An homage on the Google homepage! Not only is the game playable, but a second player can also join in on the fun. Simply press “Insert Coin” twice, and Ms. Pac-Man will pop up on the screen. Pretty neat, don’t you think?
