As KeithTalent and a handful of others know me from other places, yes I am Thor. I am not, however, Jet Li :D

Damn, that's pretty cool. After you hit max score and hit level 30 did you pretty much give up playing it or do you still mess around when you're bored?

I don't have the time I'd like to put into it.

I still need to submit a Gameboy 999k when TG gets relaunched. And I'm working on a SNES 999k, which I believe is possible.

But yeah, I'm mostly done with the NES versions.

Ark, sorry it took me so long, been busy, but I finally watched this and loved it! I had no idea you were such a badass. :awe: I mainly played the Gameboy; I was super poor and could only use my buddy's Gameboy when he wasn't using it and I never got anywhere near the levels anyone in the film did. This sure made me want to replay it again though.

Going to re-watch it with the lady soon since she liked King of Kong and I think she will enjoy it. Plus she has actually played Tetris, unlike most other games. :D

I finally watched it. Very cool! I really enjoyed it even with the billion ads. Brought back memories of my childhood. Thanks for sharing and great job at reaching max score and level 30!

I wish I had a polaroid camera back in the day. I played Tetric primarily on Gameboy and Gameboy DX. I play it so much, the pieces slowed down after level 25 in my eyes.

Ps. I bet I can beat RossMAN's ass in Tetris.

Pps. I liked the movie, I liked the lesbian, the snake lady scares me (probably ate all the snakes), asian guys represent. That Thor guy's creepy though... j/k. I restrained myself from punching the monitor for the amount of ads. Damn you to hell ads!

Ppps. OMFG, I just watched the T split. My head just exploded! I've never seen that move before! I didn't know you could do that!

I watched it and liked it. The only thing it was missing was a bad guy like some guy from NK or Russia perhaps a Hot Sauce mogul :) Everybody was nice. I was surprised that few of the nerds had wifes. It was also great to see the inventor of Tetris I always wondered what he looked liked and imagined that he lived on a private island somewhere. I didn't know that my score was quite high.

With a different editor, Arkaign certainly could have been spun as the "bad guy." ;) A "Reloaded" version probably could give King of Kong a run for it's quarters, but Thor here would be forever seen as an asshole. Worth it? :p

I actually enjoyed it. A little glimpse into the gaming world.

Watch Pulling John for those that enjoyed this.

Yeah that's how I felt too and I was extra worried because Ark/Thor is one of the nicest, most thoughtful people I had ever come across on the boards here, or anywhere, so was worried as things were building that this would show him as some deluded asshole. Of course the exact opposite was true and I should have known better, but the KoK and the spectre of Billy Mitchell was in the back of my mind the whole time. :D
