Pretty cool, and I can definitely appreciate the artistic value, but I'll take Mega64 over any other form of video game parody, hands-down.

Crap, I forgot to ask... is the headline a reference to Soylent Green?
Very clever! I see what you did there.

It would have been cooler if the French didn't suck at Tetris so much. Man...whoever is playing sucks...alot.

Yeah. That white t-shirt guy at 1:11 killed me, too.
I understand that it would go on forever if the 'player' was good, but the player was awful. Not a single tetris.
Also, their field is 2 columns too narrow.

Oh no, my day is totally ruined too! This thing fails all over the place. It's okay, because my mommy and daddy will buy me something later to make it all better.

There are SOME variants of Tetris that feature "gravity" (that is to say, broken pieces fall to the bottom of the well). Not a traditional feature, but it is possible.
The original Game Boy version had a smaller well, too. Traditionally, the well is 10x20, but the GB one was 10x18. It's not unthinkable for a 8x12 well, either.

Wow, how can you say this whole video fails due to one exaggerated gravity mistake? Besides, there are plenty of Tetris versions that include gravity.

The Tetris one? It was only posted on their site on Dec. 6th and we've got nothing on it under our Tetris tag: http://www.joystiq.com/tag/tetris/

Really? I swear I saw this back in early '05 here.

Just as a note, I'm fairly insulated from things like this. I don't surf the web but go directly where I'd like to go. You could say I'm not much of a window shopper. If I saw it before, and it's gaming related, it likely came from here. That is my actual reasoning. If I'm wrong, many apologies.

That could be it, it was done in a movie theater, too, right?

To all the haters thinking that the 'player' isn't very good at tetris...
ITS NOT THE GAME. They could have made it a perfect tetris player, they have all the time in the world and they tell each piece where to sit. Heck, they could cheat if they wanted to; but no, they made an enjoyable video with its ups and downs, disappointments and cheers of victory.
If they had made it a perfect game all you haters would cry foul and ask them to do it on the real game anyway to 'prove' themselves.

Great vid, I especially appreciated the human soundtrack and f/x. They could have added a "score" with some people holding posters or something and some people have mentioned that the people sometimes fell to far, but it's still a great vid, and besides I'll take Tetris over space invaders any day.
