Tetris baby!

( Scroll down if your looking for news about Youth Alpha tonight or the All-nighter next week )
For the last week I've been living in 1991. That year anybody who was anybody got a Gameboy for Christmas and the UK rocked to the sound of Tetris. We had to, Bohemian Rhapsody was number 1 again, what choice did we have? Last Friday I got Tetris DS and my mind has been a mess of falling blocks since then. Even Park_2002 has been playing it by jingo!
All those memories of falling blocks have come flooding back, it's a beautiful thing. And it has a fun touch screen 'slidey' bonus game now too.

Here's a link to the IGN review.

And here's a person dressed as a really big L block:



And here's a really old Tetris advert from America, I like the bit with the boy dressed as a private I and his rotating head!



Tetris is so great, even buildings play it!



This video is a bit poor, but I like the rock version of the Tetris theme. Oh to see In Eternum incorporate it into their live set!



Tetris is so good, even lego plays it!



A lot of people don't realise that Elvis wrote the classic theme music. Check out this authentic documentary footage:
