A 13-year-old is the first human to beat Tetris | Numerous theoretical milestones remain::undefined
The thumbnail and the title made me think of the basketball kid from The Boondocks
Apparently the kid’s dad died last month. Reckon the story makes a whole lot more sense with that in mind.
Wow that’s really cool - so looks like it could actually help with the ol’ trauma there?
I read a post shared on here somewhere the other week about this that might have note info for those curious https://biggieblog.com/celebrating-the-first-nes-tetris-game-crash/
Interesting read!
Here’s a really fascinating video that explains the various NES Tetris controller techniques, including rolling, the new technique that’s radically changed the way the game is played the last few years.
https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=GuJ5UuknsHU&listen=false someone made a bit of a minidoc on this for people outside of the tetris scene, it brought me all the way up to speed and was well made!
Thanks for sharing! I ended up following it up with the video this creator did on BluScutti and this top comment from BluScutti himself genuinely made me tear up a bit:
“Amazing video scout! Its amazing to be in one of your videos since your videos are what got me into the Tetris scene in the first place.”
Just fucking cool
It’s worth checking out the player Fractal, who does stream on YouTube. I would consider him a pioneer in rolling.
He also got the level 155 crash today. Second person to ever beat the game.
A ture gamer
Turer words have never been said
You’re speaking the turth
Almost like a turthseeker, so turt.
Defo turing-complete
How the turetables
My, how the turetables
I hope Wozniak sends this kid a congratulatory card or something.
Why Wozniak?
He use to be really good at it afaik.
poor little guy nearly had a heart attack…
It’s crazy living in a time when “first human to ______” is a normal headline.
I beat it on gameboy in the early 90s. Is that a different Tetris than the one mentioned here?
Had to wait until the day after to share with my friends at school
It’s the NES version, all speedruns are made on that version.
