    Can you believe this?

    How is he controlling the blocks at such an amazing speed and accuracy?
    And the invisible level at the end - simply mind blowing!

    Has anyone here seen a better performance at tetris than this one?

    I think he's japanese, so yeah I believe it. They tend to be extremely good at extremely boring games

    He's good though, lol. I can't even play a tetris game at normal speed without leaving huge gaps here and there, yet he manages to create almost no gaps (and only single blocks if at all) with an invisible level, hah.

    Yep. The website address shown there is .co.jp. So that's clearly japanese.

    That is impressive, and indicates a great dedication to his art. I hope he can find a job filling warehouses or something. Or maybe he can make big money on the international Tetris circuit, or even as a carpal tunnel test subject?

    In all seriousness, having moved house twice in the last two years, I've noticed a great improvement in my ability to pack oddly-shaped stuff into cars and trailers. I am certain that playing Tetris has contributed to this.

    And if you put the same size and colour boxes in one row, those boxes are owned by us!!


    I guess someone has too much time to watch a video of another person playing a game like Tetris and then posting that link over here and asking if someone can better it ?!

    I am not a complete idiot. Some parts are still missing.

    Change is the only constant thing. I have not changed my signature in a long while and now it has started to stink!

    OMG. Poor man. When I think of all that time (months, years?) wasted I want to cry.
