For those still here, I've joined HAMBURGER BUSINESS REVIEW. It's a podcast examining social issues through the lens of McDonald's. Fun, smart, kinda weird. Listen anywhere you get your podcasts.

Best of Five now has full subtitles in Spanish! (Along with Finnish and English.) More languages, including LatAm Spanish, coming soon. Huge thanks to @RetroCabeza for his hard work on this!
I didn't believe it myself, but @Dawnisgreat showed me a screenshot of @chrishiggins Best of Five documentary, I was there qualifying...or making a very poor attempt to do so. Back then I had no business trying to qualify. I was nowhere near where I am today with the game.

I just want to know the internal canon significance for The Tetris Company's official birthday. A napkin sketch? A distantly related prototype in 1984 that was later revisited in Spring 1985? @Tetris_Official
Can you explain the significance of the date of June 6th, 1984? The file creation timestamp on the original version of Tetris is April 4th, 1985. The copyright notices on current Tetris products also have a start year of 1985. Wouldn't that make this the 39th anniversary?
My new docu-series about competitive Tetris comes out this Friday, May 31! This is a look at the "Legends Era" of Classic Tetris, way back in 2014. Here's the poster. I'll post the trailer in first comment.
ALT Movie poster. At the bottom is bold red text reading "Best of Five: The Classic Tetris Champions." From that text rise two tattooed arms, holding a Nintendo controller at the top of the poster. Rays of light stream from the controller. On the wrists of the left arm is tattooed the word "THINK," on the right arm is "FEEL." At the bottom of the poster, the arms turn into fuzzy blocks of color.

All I want to say is: If you’ve never planted a tree, it feels amazing. Make the time to make it happen. Pick a good tree, then put it in the ground. Then come back and visit that tree whenever you can.
It’s that time again: the @ClassicTetris World Championship is this weekend! The first offline event in two year, and when I tell you everything has been flipped on it’s head in the Classic Tetris world, that might not describe it well enough. It’s gonna be WILD this weekend. O_O
