French Tetris Metro Station Entrance
December 18th, 2008

French Tetris Metro Station EntranceThe French love Tetris. However, they also love Jerry Lewis, so what the hell do they know? They do like to decorate their subway station entrances with all kinds of colorful artwork. The original concept was baguettes in the shape of tetris blocks, but it just didn’t look right.

Play Low-Tech Tetris With Meiji Chocolate Bar
April 18th, 2008

Meiji chocolate bar
Tetris addicts have to get their game on whenever they can. There’s not always a game console handy after all. You’ll be slightly pissed off however, to find out that this “Chocolate bar” is not edible. The object of the “game” is to fit all of the chocolate-looking pieces into the included clear container.

Sorry, but I can’t get past the fact that it looks like chocolate and I can’t eat it. This makes it actually more frustrating then a real game of Tetris. It will cost you $7 and a trip to the nearest store where you can get candy.

Tetris Mirror Is Puzzling

Tetris Mirror Is Puzzling
Just in case your home isn’t quite full of retro video game awesomeness, a UK product designer by the name of Soner Ozenc has created this Tetris Mirror.

And let’s face it, unlike me, some of you out there are pretty fugly. A mirror comprised of thirteen interlocking mirrored acrylic panels, might make you look better. Or at least turn your face into many separate parts like a funhouse mirror.

It can be arranged on your wall to form a rectangle, or displayed broken apart as individual puzzle blocks. It would be awesome if it had a high score on top based on who is the most good looking. You know, if your household is competitive AND conceited.

Gameboy Is Zombie Of Handheld Consoles: Survives Bomb Blast
March 5th, 2008

Gameboy Is the Zombie Of Handheld Consoles
What you see is a Gameboy that survived a barracks bombing during the Gulf War. Proof that short of a shotgun blast to the head screen, gameboys will live to play another day. It currently resides at the Nintendo World Store in NYC.

That is quality. A DS would not have survived such carnage. Still, I can’t help but wonder if the gamepack is permanently fused to the gameboy forever.

Huge Tetris Game Played On Building
December 12th, 2007

This is how the Gods play Tetris. They somehow used the lights of the building and programmed it all up professionally in order to play the game via a cell phone.

It’s called the Mikontalo Lights Project and was created by the students of Tampere University of Technology in Finland to gain global visibility for the university and highlight its rich student culture. Mission accomplished guys.

I would say we need an entire city block devoted to this kind of gaming on a massive scale.

The video is shaky because the guy filming it has the camera attached to his head. There’s another video of them playing Space Invaders after the jump.
