Man uses Tetris to create Luigi, awe
24
At Joystiq, we're firm believers in the idea that every human being has an instrument to which they are naturally attuned, for self expression and emotional release. In most cases, a person's instrument is a literal instrument; Steve Vai and Regina Carter come to mind as ready examples. Sometimes, however, a person's instrument can be a little more abstract.
Shuey187, for instance, is a Tetris virtuoso. As a follow-up to the 90 minute magnum opus in which he used Tetris to create a Mario sprite, Shuey187 has utilized his unique gift for geometrically aligning blocks in order to craft Mario's brother and confidant. It's a truly amazing thing to watch, especially when you consider the fact that he used nothing more than a sprite pattern and raw talent to get the job done. Seeing as the video has no soundtrack, we suggest opening a second window and listening to one of the other two phenomena we mentioned.

Pretty cool, but what a colossal waste of time to do. You can do a lot in 1 hour and he chose to do this. It's not like it's all that difficult seeing as there was no gravity so all that is required is thinking it through.
Reminds me of the time I spent getting the Grand Pearl Pooh-Bah achievement on Hexic HD several years back. Again, cool, but at the end, a waste of time.

The last minute where he does (and undoes) the final two lines made me want to rage quit.
