Happy Birthday, little falling shapes!

Hey, Tetris turns 25 today!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I plan to observe this occasion by playing some Tetris.

[LordRetard]

Ah fuck tetris, I need to get to work.

I'll play it later. Did I ever tell you guys that I used to be really good at tetris? It's not a very interesting story, in fact that's the whole thing.

Tetris used to always stress me out as a child. Something about frantically calculating patterns and working with the shapes without any explicit motivation or context* really frustrated me.


* "explicit motivation or context" is defined as (for the purpose of making my point) "levels that are visually different from each other and give a sense of progress, a plot, or at least a kind of 'pat on the back' after achieving the goal."

You were spoiled. Why think of an overly complex game when you have a game that, with skill, can be played forever?

[Frostbite]

You were spoiled with too much crack.

[AHMETxRock]

Yes, the women were pretty forward with their offerings of their bodies.

Damn kids with your playstations. In my day, we didn't have a princess to rescue. Our only aspiration was surviving longer than we had last time so we could get a bigger number.

My mom was a local Tetris champion at her university. She probably should have used the time spent on that to study more, but I think her life has worked out pretty well regardless, and being able to say "I was the best Tetris player at the university" is probably cooler than "Hey I learned some crap I never cared about and never used anyway."

[LordRetard]

That'd be cool, except there's no way that I could possibly be the best at all of UofT. I sincerely believe that most of these people have nothing better to do than play tetris.

What's the T stand for? There's a whole lotta T states out there. And plus I think there's some T's in Canadia.

[LordRetard]

It is Canadian, University of Toronto.
