That playable version is actually quite fun. My best was 22 pieces on the screen ([[:File:22 pieces.png|screenshot]]).

Guess what, this is actually scorable. The trick is to form a solid base with your blocks, and play normal tetris over that. [[Special:COntributions/116.76.175.236|116.76.175.236]] 13:56, 21 October 2012‎ (UTC)

I'm not sure if saying the hell came "cannot be won" is worth saying. Keep in mind, the regular game of tetris can't be won either. [[Special:Contributions/70.31.159.230|70.31.159.230]] 01:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

108.162.242.120: Add note.

This part: "but everything from the public-key authenticated signatures on the files to the lipstick heart smeared on the disk screamed "Alice." " reminds me of the song Alice by Tom Waits. May or may not be intentional.

<pre>
javascript:

Elf-Lord:"Elf-lord",
cat:"Cat",

"river spirits":"River spirits",
"Homestar Runner":"Homestart Runner",
"is guilty and everyone knows it":"Is guilty and everyone knows it"};
var b=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
b.innerHTML=b.innerHTML.replace(
/Tumblr post

|Homestar Runner
|is guilty and everyone knows it
