Tetrisized
Nobody can beat my mad Tetris skillz; I dare you to take me on, punk. This evening, I conquered the classic game in marathon mode (level 15). I purchased a second cartridge just so that I could challenge Gretchen head-to-head, and even she's finding it extremely difficult to defeat me. Maybe we Bay Area Bloggers will get together and have a tournament soon? Better yet, bring your GBA to Gnomedex and I'll personally kick your block-droppin' ass in July. I love playing puzzle games, and I figured it's been a while since I picked a fight. What's the matter? Is your mommy too scared to let you come to Iowa? Waaaaaaah…

“block-droppin' ass”? That sounds pretty serious. You're on.

Tetris? It has been a while since I've played any Tetris variant. I like Mr. Driller. It's a little more action oriented than puzzle. Another cool puzzle game is Bust a Move (aka Puzzle Bobble in Japan).

Yeah, but can you do it without the performance enhancing drugs (e.g. Peets)? :)

If you want to play against the best, you'd have to play me then. I've checked around on the net, and using the original NES Tetris game, I'm among the best in the world. Need proof? Check the pic out on this link: http://www.milkbreak.com/weblog/index.php?id=P4
And, that was a bad game. So, if you'll pay my way up to Iowa, I'll show you some serious Tetris playing.

Iowa dirvers scare me. The main attraction in Iowa is your hotel's indoor swimming pool. Big deal.

Tetris is sooooo 1990s.
*snore*
Do yourself a favor: Go to your favorite place to buy a game and pick up Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo II for Gameboy Advance. Better than Tetris, 'cause it's a puzzle game and a fighting game with the coolest japanese speak you'll ever hear!

“Is your mommy too scared to let you come to Iowa?” Actually… Yeah. She's a little over protective even though I'm 18. You best count yourself lucky, punk. :P

So you think you're good? Hah! I played the MS Win version of Tetris so much that I got the max score of 65536 (or something) at which point the score started to go backwards until it got to negative 65536!

Wow, Tetris. I haven't played that in so long. However, I just may bring my NES with me and some select games to compete with people who think they are worthy… which of course will be a very small number because I am l337.
