T is for... Tetris


This week, Portal 2 was released to the brain hungry puzzled population. The Portal series is mind blowingly a-mazing (I couldn't resist) and filled with high calibered levels of complexity for the well equipped Geeks. I'm talking XBOX 360, PS3, PC, Mac equipped. Yea, it's Marty McFlyin out of my cellular capacity "heavy."

Although the Portal video games are quite complex, and supply a fantastical journey that dig deep into the inner nodes of my mental realm, there truly is no better cerebral satisfaction than watching a row vanish in level 35 of Tetris. It was the highest form of cerebral satisfaction, which heightened at level 36, 37, 38..... 

I spent hours using my super stealthy thumbs on my 1989 authentic yellow screened Game Boy punching B - B - up - right - left,  B-left, left - down, B B B!!  

Goal: Achieve the ending that never was. Or was there? Has anyone ever completed Tetris? If so, I extend my carpal tunneled hand to you.

*I must admit,  I do own all game consoles listed above. But then again, I am a well equipped Girl-Geek, a "Girk" if you will.
