tetris

A game created in the 1980's by Alex Pajitnov (Pazhitnov), Dmitry Pavlovsky, and Vadim Gerasimov.

The game involves forming complete lines using items of various shapes across a rectangle gaming board, while avoiding going over the top of the board.

Tetris has had many spinoffs from its popularity.

Tetris It

to fit a bunch of stuff in a little space by packing it in the most efficient way possible

Psychiatrist: And where do you sleep in this place?
Hoarder: I kinda just slide in between this pile of dead cats and these refrigerator boxes. Ya know, I tetris it. (Dislocates both arms, ankle, and jaw to fit in place perfectly.)
Psychiatrist: Interesting...

Tetris

Fantastic game that has taken a lot of my hours away. It's very easy and simple to play, but provides a strong challenge for the hardcore gamer.

A black hole used to dispose of time and sanity.

Tetris is really awesome.

tetris

To other video games as chess is to other board games; a monolith which 14 years on still stands head and shoulders above the competition and to an extent the rest of the gaming industry.

Also an addiction more potent than any drug except maybe the internet but that ain't a drug.
