- Hi! This Kickstarter is long over, but the album's currently available on all streaming platforms, and the various media forms as well as a few other goodies, are still available at my Bandcamp page at wormquartet.ba... or from Needlejuice Records at needlejuicerec... - as well as from Amazon and such, or you can order it from your local record store!
I also have a new Kickstarter going right now for my forthcoming new album, Carpe Tedium!
www.kickstarte...
Original description follows! Thanks!

Hi! I'm that guy from the "Totally Obsessed" thing you may have seen either on VH-1 back in the proverbial day, standalone on RUclips, or in one of the many, many RUclips shows (most notably H3 productions) in which the hosts have fun mocking me and expressing abject disbelief at my marital status!
2020, while arguably the greatest tire fire of a year in my lifetime, is also the 40th anniversary of the E'er-Hungry E'er-Round E'er-Yellow Circle Of All-Consuming Wonderfulness, so I've crafted an audio love letter in His honor, which I'm releasing on vinyl, CD, cassette (why?) and digital formats.
If you'd like to get in on this action, the Kickstarter is here:
www.kickstarte...
Rewards for pledging include copies of the EP in its various formats, shirts, buttons, and the chance to have me call you on the phone and scream "PAC-MAAAAAAN" directly into your very own earholes.
Thanks for remembering I exist!
All - the Kickstarter is long over but vinyl, CD, cassettes, and shirts are still available at wormquartet.bandcamp.com/merch and also from Needlejuice Records at needlejuicerecords.com/wormquartet/ ! Thanks!
Wow he lost a ton of weight, fair play to him
Ahh I'm so bummed I didn't catch this in time. Excellent album! You're a rare artist who actually improves with each album.
Hey! Thanks muchly for the kind words! If you're interested you can still pre-order the physical media and t-shirts here: wormquartet.bandcamp.com/album/the-pac-man-ep or here: needlejuicerecords.com/product/thepacmanep/
Love you man: your confidence is so infectious! Ill watch the VH1 thing when I want to feel inspired haha no joke. If only all of us could be so confident and unapologetic about what we love! I'm so glad I found this channel! What do you think of Pac Man 99 for Switch?
Hey, thanks for the kind words! I actually haven't played Pac-Man 99 yet, but I definitely plan to check it out.
YOUR USERNAME IS #1 THE END
I love this guy
Do you play Super Smash Bros.? If so, is Pac-Man your main?
Honestly I can't get into Super Smash Bros. I love the goofiness of everybody-vs.-everybody but from an actual playability standpoint it doesn't interest me. "Ultimate" in particular frustrates me - the input lag is horrible. I will say the "Pac-Land" level is clever as hell, though I have a hard time concentrating on navigating the background while also endeavoring to beat the everloving crap out of whoever I'm fighting.
This is beautiful
Is it possible to get an album?!?!?!?!?!? This video killed me years ago 😂😂😂😂
Absolutely! Physical copies are available at wormquartet.bandcamp.com/merch and also from Needlejuice Records at needlejuicerecords.com/wormquartet/ - your local record store should be able to special order it as well! Thanks!
I genuinely can’t tell is this is a skit or this man is genuinely and forever obsessed with pac man
Garcia Kimberly Robinson Sarah Martinez Deborah
is this the real pac-man man
Obviously it is.
This is like Weird Al's brother (and no that's not a bad thing)
I heavily relate to the Pac-Man obsession. Even to this day its my dream to own a Pac-Man cabinet. I own Pac-man on several platforms, but anything that isn’t a proper arcade joystick doesn’t feel quite right.
You should make more content, maybe talking about various Pac-Man merchandise or make videos discussing different Pac-Man games. Hell maybe even some gameplay with commentary on some of them. You seem like you’d make my 90,000 point high score seem like nothing.
4:40 never gets old
Holy crap. He lost A LOT of weight
He probably got tired of his weight and decided to lose weight. Idk I'm not him
@@himetoracos He lost weight in 2009. And during COVID he's been putting his weight off since but he's nowhere near as the 300 pound monster he once was.
Hope you don’t mind me asking but I was just wondering, did they make you over exaggerate how much you like Pac-Man or was that how much you actually liked him back then lol?
They didn't MAKE me...I did (and do) like Pac-Man an awful lot (note the collection on the wall behind me in this here video.) But I'm obnoxious when given an audience and I have a weird sense of humor, so I did go somewhat over-the-top for attempted comedic purposes. I didn't realize that through the magical power of television, people would assume that this was how I was all the time. "Reality" television assures you that what you're seeing is the truth, and that you can extrapolate the full story from the pieces it gives you. As such, I was pissed when the thing first aired, as it definitely seemed to be edited together in a way that seemed geared toward making me look somewhat scary and/or pathetic. But in retrospect, I've warmed to it...people have been sharing this clip for 17 friggin' years, so I can't deny that it's compelling entertainment.
TL;DR: PAC-MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
Tim Crist ah gothca, because a ton of people from the show say that they were told to act a certain way so I was just wondering if it really was like that. Anyways, thanks for answering and take care man!
@@eddie9153 Well, it was their idea that I actually WEAR the Pac-Man mask...and they supplied the megaphone (I wasn't even allowed to keep it.)
I think the great yellow one thanks you
You definitely need to do a video on your PAC-MAN collection I would love to see that
side effects of pac-man fever may include: 0:42
Only if your name rhymed with _ _ _ I'd have a great idea for a song!
You made that. Right?
Heard it on Dr. D in the late 2000s
Yep, that was me!!
@@wormquartet Lol. That was the best.
Gonna keep the great yellow one from going thru my wall right?🤣🤣
He sure lost a bunch of weight.
Thanks! I'm actually bigger in this video than I am now - currently holding strong in the 180-190 range.
gotta know are you still married?
Just celebrated our 22-year anniversary. We fit together really well and always have...our respective oddities are complementary.
Also I read your name as "TamponTango."
@@wormquartet well congrats that’s great! And I’m sorry my name confused you lol
This dude just seems like a dude who's a dude who's a stand-up dude.
You do not do the great yellow one justice as you have you gameplays of pac man on your channel, the semi circle that makes everything blue and edible is disappointed
Lol Devo went from 😮 to 😃 in 3 seconds
What a legend
He looks way better now
Wow he lost lots of weight
yes yes YESSSSSSSSS
I like how the comments of that video had mainly ppl disrespecting you, but to be honest, you weren't hurting anyone, you was just a collector and a fan of the franchise who would go to the arcade sometimes and play the game. Most people compared you to the Sonic Doppelganger of yours, but to be REALLY fair, you are the complete opposite. A nice guy who does music, play games, have somewhat of a family, I will completly follow you as a social media fan! Btw, asking you pacman questions, do you have a favorite Pacman 3D game? What did ya think of the first two Pacman World game?
Thanks for the kind words. Who is this Sonic Doppelganger of which you speak?
Loved the first Pac-Man World (which is also my favorite Pac-Man 3D game.) The second frustrated me and I eventually gave up. Never played the third, weirdly, though I've heard good things.
@@wormquartet It is a guy named "chris-chan", he had done terrible things because of his sonic obsession to a point he actually got trouble with the law, it's kinda a sad story.
Oh I really recommend you check out the third game, the second one is indeed frustrating and kinda annoying at sometimes, but the third one is so lore heavy... I admire you liked the first game too, it was a really good start to the pacman world series. Wish they continued it and never made PATGMA...
@@ethandouro4334 *spits out coffee, fruit, dots, and several sets of ghost eyeballs*
Oh, I'm familiar with Chris-Chan. Had no idea anyone was comparing me with her. That's an incredibly lazy comparison that I think can be pretty easily blown apart with a five-second google search.
I showed up too late can I get a vinyl and cassette please 😭
Yes! wormquartet.bandcamp.com/merch
Do you have an Instagram?
I’d love to follow it
I do, but it's severely inactive. I gotta get on that. I'm a lot more talkative on Twitter and Facebook, and this is most likely because I'm 46 and new things frighten me.

If it wasn't for you i would have never found the glory of pac man
*bows*
Good music keep it up
pacman
U lost some weight...
Yeah, I dropped over a hundred pounds in 2009 and I've mostly kept it off since. I've put some back on during COVID because...COVID. But I'm still nowhere near the 300something-pound behemoth I once was.
Crazy im glad he lost weight and his obsession has gone down quiet a lot.
are you still obsessed with pac-man?
It's weird how often I get asked this question, as if some morning I'm just gonna wake up and go "Y'know what? FUCK Pac-Man." I guess the simple answer is that while I was never as single-mindedly obsessed as the video portrayal would indicate, I still have a good-sized collection of Pac-Man games and memorabilia and an abiding love for the Great Yellow One.
1:47 goes hard not going to lie
Thankee! Full lyric video is here if you wish to experience the hard-goings in their entirety! ruclips.net/video/jFdGjSHyJVw/видео.html
Whats your favourite pac man game?
Woah how did I miss this
Worry not! The album and a few bits of related merchandise are available here: wormquartet.bandcamp.com/album/the-pac-man-ep
thank you for bringing my stupid noises to your face is such a great line
Its the pacman man I grew up making fun of
And now he's making fun of you! HA HA HA HA HA YOUR NAME HAS TOO MANY E'S!!!!!!!!
@@wormquartet i think marios better
@@wesleyharrison4012 No you don't. You just like to fantasize about thinking that you dream about pretending to believe that Mario's better..
@@wesleyharrison4012 NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE PAC-MAN!!!
He’s gotta be satire right? Like he’s 100% not serious right?
... I'm not sure what video you think you're commenting on. This is a Kickstarter for an EP of Pac-Man songs I did three years ago. If you're asking about the "Totally Obsessed" video, I did an AMA about that on Reddit a few years ago which should answer most questions you could possibly have. www.reddit.com/r/h3h3productions/comments/49wtug/hi_im_the_pacman_guy/ Thanks!
I just know u as the pac man guy XD
Kyle Carrozza...
This video is from 2020. As I've said elsewhere, I'm not working with him anymore, and he does not benefit monetarily from any WQ sales or streams. If I ever do another run of physical copies of this album, he will not appear on it. He's dead to me.
@wormquartet Very good to hear! I'm glad you cleared that up. You've gained my respect 🙏
PAC-MAN!
I didn’t expect him to be still alive
I'm only 46! How long do you think people live???
@Studio H.W.O im late as hell making a comment to this lil section but dude he’s a legend dont you know legends never die😌🤘🏾
How to lose weight
Is that a question or did you type a google search in the wrong field?
Anyway, in my case, diet and exercise monitored via a calorie counting app/website (started with Livestrong, ended up with MyFitnessPal.) I've packed some back on during the whole COVID thing but I'm still not the 300something-pound-behometh I was in the Totally Obsessed video.
PLEASE COME BACK!
I didn't go anywhere, sir!
@@wormquartet Dude yes! I saw the cringe tik Tok, and had to see what you were up to now. I could tell you were playing it up for that special. You're a funny dude!
@@kilinahepelletier4634 Thankee, sir! I haven't seen this TikTok cringe thingy...where might it be?
@@wormquartet It was the same video from 2004 where they took the audio out of your song.
@@wormquartet are u still obsessed with pack man?
Are you on the spectrum at all?
Nope, just obnoxious.
How was this 56 years ago
Oh I see
