Explanation
This comic is a reference to the video game Tetris, in which you use different shaped pieces to fill in lines to score points. The more lines you fill at a time results in more points.
In this comic, Heaven is when you get the perfect piece in Tetris that fills out all the empty space you have on the board.
In the title text, ennui means a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest.
Also see comic 724: Hell, which presents an opposing situation in which the game is impossible to play.

Discussion
I also think that the comic number '888' is a reference to the chinese belief that eight is a lucky number, and '888' even more 61.22.6.176 01:56, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- In Chinese 8 (in some dialects) sounds like "being rich". 173.245.48.96 06:16, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
Also I think the next piece after that is a longer than usual L block which basically fills the whole line 108.162.250.7 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
