Tonight in a game of Tetris I scored 151,402 points with 233 lines. This beats Steve Wozniak's record of 212 lines, as published in 1989.

I know, this is absurd, but level 20 and up is the ultimate test in human reflexes and hand-eye coordination.

Tetris is, and this is fact people, confirmed by the Rand Corporation; fifteen thousand times more addictive than crack. I spent three years in a Tetris-induced haze, barely eating, wandering the streets panhandling for Gameboy batteries.

As long as you realize that it's absurd, Frank, I think you're still okay.

Y'know, I never really was a fan of Tetris. But, then, I never really was a fan of crack, either, so I guess I'm just weird, huh? :-)

Wow, I've only gotten to about 120 lines simply BECAUSE THEY NEVER GIVE ME THE PIECES I NEED!!

I can barely imgine how fast they move though.

I couldn't care less about Tetris, personally, but that sounds impressive.

I love Tetris, but I never get to play it. Apparently, it's not as popular as it used to be, and I can't find plain, simple Tetris in my local game store anymore.

Of course, I just started playing DOOM last year, so you know I'm a bit behind the times.
