Perhaps, in the past, during a rousing round of Tetris, you may have found yourself in an existential funk. "Where does the next block come from?" you mused. Sure, it's easy enough to pin your extraordinary luck (or misfortune) on the wonders of random generation, but what if it wasn't so simple? What if the real source of your bliss and/or frustration was more ... divine?
College Humor introduces us to Tetrises, the God of Tetris. Witness his terrible glory after the break. Just remember that the next time you pray for a line piece, you actually have someone to address. And, if you're looking for some extra luck, you might consider slaughtering a lesser puzzle game to appease him.
No... I think they are mentioned in books, and you can't believe everything you read :/ This is a video though, totally different. But if you find a book mentioning the Tetris God, you be sure to tell me.
that was pretty funny. Doesn't the game pick the next piece based on how much difficulty it thinks your having with each piece? I think I read somewhere that if you move pieces around a lot before locking it in place the game thinks you are having trouble with it. So you can cheat by moving the line piece around a ton every time you get one and then you get them a lot more often. It seems to work for me.
There's a version of Tetris out there that actually analyzes your board and then gives you a piece that you DON'T need. So if you manage to get a full column free, you'd probably never get a...
to be your kill joy. they found that teris can't be play infinitely as if you alternate s and z blocks it will end in a kill screen. hence the why your multiplayer idea would fail and would end up being the second player would just give you s and z block till you die.
"a philosophical attitude ... that stresses the individual's unique position as a self-determining agent responsible for the authenticity of his or her choices."
I don't know how anyone could read that and not instantly think of Tetris.
I was making a joke there. Anyhway, the word "existential" doesn't necessarily refer to existentialism. In this particular post, it simply means "pertaining to existence."
I looked up how the pieces are selected while making a tetris clone. It makes a 'bag' containing all seven unique pieces in a random order, gives them to you, ande then makes a neew bag. So the line piece can come two times in a row at most, and never with more than 12 pieces in between them. But twelve pieces can feel like a long time.
This is of course assuming you are playing an atheistic version of tetris, taunting almighty Tetrises, and forfeiting your life!
