Tetris Chat

Just got my points for taking 6th in the US version of the tournament. Yay. Now to figure out what I will spend them on. What are you going to spend them on?

I’ve been out of the loop for a little while with the holidays and such. Hope to have an update for tetribot tonight… But I thought I would share this piece of news floating around the internet today… Enjoy:

Can Playing the Computer Game “Tetris” Reduce the Build-Up of Flashbacks for Trauma? A Proposal from Cognitive Science

With Christmas just around the corner, I’ve been looking for some Tetris gifts to get some of the people I know who love puzzles. Many of them used to play Tetris with me all the time, so bringing the memories back to them just makes it all the more fun.

So here are 3 gifts that I’ve been considering getting people:

#1 - Tetris Party (WiiWare) - This $12.00 USD game for the wii can be gifted using the wiishop channel. The downside is you can’t wrap this gift, and to insure they got it on Christmas, you would have to send it, on Christmas.  But if they have a Wii, and don’t have this, they should really pick it up. And hey, if they are any good, they might also be able to pick up an extra 1200 wiiware points by playing in one of the Tetris tournaments going on (so double the gift!)

#2 - Tetrice Ice Tray - Although I’m not sure how much shipping would be to get this to the states.. It seems like a great little novelty toy for someone who might already have all the other Tetris items in their life… It might also be good for the Tetris player who might be lacking some basic social skills, because they can use it as an “ice breaker” haha… (sorry) (thanks iphys via TetrisConcept.com)

#3- The Tetris Tie - For the ultimate tetris nerd to ware to probably the same parties that you might find the Tetris ice to be at.

Happy holidays everyone. And thanks for visiting the new site!
