I must have played too much Tetris because I can’t stop watching this video and laughing.

[The Tetris God [video]](http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1924722)

The video is definitely SFW (G-rated). Everything on the page is SFW (PG-rated) as well, but exercise caution because I guess that could change.

The Tetris God is a cruel and pitiless god, plus he starts sending those pieces too quickly. When will your torment end? When?

I thought the video was going to be [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-uPii3w00s).

Invisible Tetris. That’s a goddamn Lolcat, not a Tetris mode.

Something fun: when my girlfriend asks me for something, I just now bellow “LINE PIECE!”

That makes me happy.

That’s a great point; the title does imply that (more famous) video (which I agree is insane). Maybe I should have titled the thread differently.

Oh well, LINE PIECE!

If he laid the first line piece flat then he’d have another column ready. Rookie.

Huh. I always figured the Tetris God would be more Lovecraftian. All tentacles and non-euclidean geometry…
