Seventeen Years of Tetris

thefalconer writes "It all happened 17 years ago on a whim and an addiction of sorts. Alexey Pazhitnov created the one game that has caused so many people around the world to just about go nuts trying to win a game that has the ability to slowly drive you to insanity one small misshappen block at a time. Since the creation of the original Tetris game on an Electronica 60, there have been dozens of different incarnations of Tetris that have dazzled the eyes, boggled the mind, frustrated the emotions, and fried more than their fair share of braincells. There is also a very interesting history of tetris online that details its evolution from innocent game to insane addiction. Plus it's one of those games that never grows old. :D"

  9. Quake World by pkplex · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hello there...

    A few years ago I was right into my quakeworld.. And I found that after a long winning streak against what were basicly newbies, I could not bare to loose . On many occasions I could loose the plot, and I have broken many mice and keyboards, and even ripped my top off ( it was a good top too ) in a fit of rage.

    I have since given up quake world, To mee it is simply a game that is too fast and agressive without a way to vent such agresssion.

    IMO, if there was a way to exerciece while playing such a game, eg, optionally, to move you have to run on a treadmill thing or such like, then it would be a very fun game, because my anger would be let out while I run :)

    I think another thing that would be neat is a large keyboard designed to be on a wall. You punch and kick the keys while viewing a projection of a screen.. so you could code or irc and get fit at the same time :)

    But yeah.. I recon lots of games are bad.. but I still play them.. my latest addiction is that of CS. I have bought three copies of CS Retail.. I have twice deleted CS and broken the CD's simply because I was too addicted to get any work done. /GNU throws a flashbang in front of uncle Bill... /GNU throws a SG in front of Bill's plan /GNU gains some market share while Bill cant see :)

    The Tetris Taxonomy
    EXPOSING THE RECTUM

    Of course, when engaged in a battle, the most prominent way to attack your opponent is with a Tetris, or four simultaneous depleted lines. This is only possible with a Cock Piece, of course, and with a Rectum. The Rectum is the column in Tetris that waits for a Cock Piece, and a good player is one that knows how to safely create a Rectum, work around it, and keep depleting lines while still maintaining the Rectum. Often, cries of "The Rectum is exposed!" can be heard; this is the signal that a player is waiting for a Cock Piece, and when he or she is visited by it, a Tetris will most likely occur.
