Tetris documentary

[FSSimon]

A hard to find documentary about Tetris and its creator Alexey Pajitnov. Also covers the rivalaries between Nintendo and Atari and the ... all » absurdities of buying copyrights for software from a country that doesn't believe in property, much less intellectual property. Ultimately, a great documentary about a very important game.

Are you really ranked #1 in Tetris DS?

Are you really ranked #1 in Tetris DS?

TGM-HOLiC is the top-ranked player as far as I know, but I think that he/she has stopped playing.
TGM-ARIKA is also very good.

I used to have one of those TDS ranking thing in my signature too, but they NEVER show anything right. =/
In fact, I think they have an error on their site. (blockstats.org) I've seen several people with that in their signature lately and they all show "Rank: 1"

Congratulations on winning the Tetris DS tournament here though. ( A bit late! )
You must be really good.

(off-topic): What's your wifirating? I'm around 7200, but goes up and down.

I gotten close to 8000 but never broke that 8000 barrier

... But I haven't played in so long now.
For me, I have to get into rhythm by playing a little while with the computer then matching up on wifi..
Its probably been months since I've last played TDS
