Remember how Michael Jackson always kept his children hidden under masks?

Not surprisingly, the King of Pop's daughter Paris was just as confused by the strange attire as we are, but now that she's older she totally understands why.

In an interview with Oprah, Paris reveals:

"I was really confused. I didn't get why I was wearing a mask. But I understand it now – why my dad would want our faces to be covered. When we went out without him we wouldn't be recognized. We had a normal childhood" – including trips to the children's arcade and restaurant Chuck E. Cheese's. He told us that when he was younger he didn't really have a childhood. He would always be stuck in the studio singing while the kids were out playing. He wanted us to have that."

We always knew MJ missed out on his childhood, but there's something about hearing his daughter say it that makes it even more sad.

At least she understands and was able to go to Chuck E. Cheese and more importantly survived!

Hey, teens of the new milenuim. You might not know this, but a long, long time ago, in the far gone time call the 90s, kids actually left their house to play video gams! It seems like a silly concept, we know, but the games were all housed in this place called an "arcade," where a pocketful of change bought you hours upon hours of entertainment. Also a cherry slushie and some Skittles.

Hey, adults who used to be teens of the 90s! Guess what? You can relive your glory days once again — and in the comfort of your own home! The PlayStation Store is adding some classic arcade games to their offerings list, with the headlining adventure being the revival of The Simpsons. Now, on your Playstation, you can once again control Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa as they fight through Springfield past Mr Burns's goons to save little Maggie!

And really, now that you're an adult, why would you want to leave your house anyway???

Oooh! We might need to get a Playstation just to play this again. We always like controlling Bart with his skateboard! Who was UR favorite character to play?

Apparently, the joystick just wasn't enough!

Check out the latest addition to the Apple family, the new '80s inspired arcade gaming companion for the iPad - the iCade!

Yes, this is an actual product that you can buy.

According to its description:

Flashback to the glory days of gaming with iCADE! Based on the hit concept posted at ThinkGeek.com, iCADE brings arcade gaming to life by integrating your iPad into an authentic, arcade-style cabinet complete with joystick and buttons! Impress your friends, family and co-workers with iCADE's great-looking retro design, and then challenge them for high-scores on the most entertaining iPad accessory imaginable!

And some of the features include:

* Arcade cabinet with joystick and buttons for iPad gaming
* Authentic, full-sized controls for a genuine arcade experience
* High-quality iPad-cradle specifically designed for a safe, secure fit
* Retro cabinet design that is fun, nostalgic and great-looking

HIGHlarious idea, but we have the feeling that one could probably find an ACTUAL old school arcade game on eBay or Craigslist for a whole lot cheaper than the price of the iPad!

Just saying! LOLz!

What do U think?? Will U buy the iCade??
