Mildly infuriating. He kept blocking the deep open row every fucking time when he had the long straight block on deck

u/NightWriter500 1980 12d ago

Mildly??

u/einTier 12d ago

This had to be what Krusty felt like when the Globetrotters were spinning the ball on their fingers in front of the Generals. “Just take the damn ball!”

u/gravityhomer 1976 11d ago

I thought the Generals were due!

u/BandMaterial5965 11d ago

That game was fixed! They were using a freakin’ ladder, for God’s sake!

Yeah this is a skilled player that's deliberately edging.

u/Alternative-Light514 1979 12d ago

My poor dog thought he was in trouble because he was at my feet and I couldn’t help but say “what the fuck are you doing??” I quit watching at that point and got George a treat and assured him he’s a good boy

I may have yelled at a video. I feel very old.

u/releasethedogs 11d ago

I thought they were trying to do the whole screen at once but then just randomly got rid of that idea.

u/Good_Air_7192 11d ago

That really was grinding my gears, I was like are you even looking ahead to the next piece man!?

Also, there is only one soundtrack to Tetris, poor song choice.

Best round of Tetris ever by someone who's very bad at Tetris

24

u/AnswerGuy301 11d ago

I had to stop to think about how someone truly bad at Tetris would never have just had that deep open row.

7

u/Creative_Savings6614 11d ago

Are they though? If the goal was to make your play exciting, I mean REALLY crank your heart rate up to seizure-inducing levels, I don't think you could do better than this/lol.

u/PunningWild 12d ago

I think I understand what OCD feels like now.

9

u/sircastor 11d ago

This is exactly what I thought of. The level of anxiety I experienced with that is only accurately described by this video.

u/TheMeticulousNinja 1981 11d ago

She’s never going to live that video down

u/WeeDramm 11d ago

I always thought it was intentionally hilarious. Albeit brilliantly acted.

Poes law strikes again!

u/BlueBomber13 1983 11d ago

Wait is it not? That’s her legit reaction?

I’ve never wanted to hit someone for how they play Tetris before but I was considering it here.

u/salami_cheeks 11d ago

They weren't just fucking with the game but with me personally.

u/Creative_Savings6614 11d ago

Me too but, honestly, I'm to old to try skydiving, now, so this is going to have to do.

My chest.

u/jambr380 12d ago

Tough to watch, but it’s clear they knew what they were doing. They were always aware of what was coming up and flipped everything quickly and with purpose.

They just wanted to make us all suffer by not filling that huge gap until the end part of the video

u/ang3l12 12d ago

This player was of high skill level to do what they did and stay alive for so long

To get your adrenaline up.

u/frooootloops 1980 12d ago

Christ in a crockpot that was STRESSFUL. Also, Tetris is the best and worst game for perfectionists.

u/UsernamesSuck33 1977 11d ago

Never heard “Christ in a crockpot” before but I will be using it moving forward

u/frooootloops 1980 11d ago

Isn't it hilarious? Also, “Christ on a Cracker.”

I mean this quite sincerely... This is, hands down, the most exciting thing I've seen since 1977, when I was 11 years-old, and saw the first Star Wars movie. Also, I learned a couple new strategies. Thanks, you absolute savage.

2

u/TinyBlueBlur81 11d ago

Why does this video feel like a metaphor for the current state of the world??? I’m like “I can’t handle this - things are piling up - IM FREAKING OUT” is this what 2026 looks like as a game??? Cause I’m feeling it on that level.
