Tetris

Tetris the movie is out (again). The "venerable BBC documentary" contains plenty of Tetris nostalgia for the hacks and Tetris history for the newbies. For the First Lifers it is choc-o-block filled with Soviet-era drama laced with cut-throat game industry/ entrepreneurial mud-wrestling. An excellent watch, whether it be your first or second time. There is also plenty of opportunity to admire that 1980's tech. Tetris never seemed so exciting as it does cloaked by this edgy spy-story world tale. Or. Is it the other way around: a grade-C thriller raised into art by the incomprehensible madness of video colors and falling blocks. Anything in this tale for the Second Lifers? I'm not sure, you tell me. If you had a free evening and invited Tetris and WoW over for dinner. Who would do most of the talking? ----------------------------------------- Via Grand Text Auto, "The Book of Tetris", including the video link. See h2g2 for an overview of the age of Tetris.
