At one point, Marcus wrote a joke mocking the anti-video games movement: “If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.” This joke has become an internet meme and been ascribed to various people such as the CEO of Nintendo or Bill Gates; those who have heard of it are generally unaware that it was created by Marcus. Marcus expresses irritation at this, but claims that he’s given up the fight.
