I think being born in 1985 your youth is still there to be misspent.

If I'd known there was going to be a tetris competition I would have joined netsoc! Anyone know if people still can?

/*edit: just realised from their web page that I can - cool, free tetris! */

Any pointers or tips?

rainbow kirby

Just play loads!
And to everyone: post your top scores!

blondie83

Currently in 18 place with 8985 - I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm not going to get much done over the next few days!

rainbow kirby

Damn you! I've 8799. Must break 9000!

You may notice the top score is by a guy named 'gearoid' (no it's not me, I'm 'rory'). He is unfortunatly a tetris god. He's an english postgrad with insane amounts of time on his hands. He has a web comic (Neko the Kitty), which has a kinda blog on it aswell. One time it said: "I wanted to go out and try to meet some girls, but everyone was busy, so instead I stayed home and played Tetris, I beat my old high score. I know how sad I am".

This is what we are up against.

There is no hope.

Wahoo, up to 3rd with 18240! It's starting to get interesting now :cool:

rainbow kirby

Beat Gar. Goddamit, I'd love to see his face if a girl beat him.

rainbow kirby

Well it's just over. Damn Gar to hell.
3rd place, 20452.

blondie83

Ah you beat me to it! Well here's the final standings:

http://netsoc.ucd.ie/events/tetris/index.php

Came 2nd with 20652, first would have been good, but there was no way that Gar was going to be beaten. 28000 points, he didn't just win the championship, he won it with 8000 points to spare! Well done to everyone though - I'd say way way too much time has been wasted on this over the past few weeks!

*nods in agreement*
Ah well, those Netsoc fleeces will keep us warm and tell the world of much time wasted!
