He's an interesting guy. The kind of person who's easy to talk to, you can sit about and have a laugh with him easily.

I've had him sign quite a few of my albums. In fact the first time I met him we bumped into each other in a shop - I had Selected Ambient Works Vol I in my CD player at the time and got him to sign it. I remember I bought a permenant ink pen especially to do that.

Awesome. Simply awesome.

Uh, yeh. It never really struck me as being so awesome to see him in the flesh though. Most people don't even know who he is, although there are still quite a lot of people who do. I wouldn't really class him as "famous".

Which reminds me, he invited me to his Lanner studio a while ago and it's coming up to the date. I shall have to make a note of that so I don't forget. ;)

This is probably going to reveal way more than I should about myself but I've actually spent the last week programming tetris from scratch on my computer.

*GEEK ALERT*
*GEEK ALERT*
*GEEK ALERT*

Well if I'm writing code it looks like I'm actually doing work and noone questions me.

BTW the tetris theme was also a traditional Jewish tune (I assume for people from Russia). We were very excited when we found that out as we had always hummed it as a joke but this gave us an air of legitimacy.

The song isn't Russian, the game is.

And you were excited when you found that out? Sounds like you have a pretty dull life to me.

Curse that wretched Tetris tune, it is ingrained in my skull.

-humming Tetris tune-

D'oh!

russian game with a russian soundtrack.

I guess I shouldn't really have brought it up as it was a long-running joke among my friends that outsiders wouldn't really get. Like the whole "dental plan"/"lisa needs braces" thing

Great movies, Bill and Ted. Mac <3333333's you for making this topic.

I would pwn Death at Parappa the Rapper. Seriously. I can make that dog rap like nuthin else brutha.

But surely Codek, the original song from Tetris, Korobeiniki is a russian song, as it's a russian folk song. I tried googling it, but all I could get was the uber cool Ozma version

i would play a old roman times arena stile game.

??? what do you mean by that? Something in the gladiator arena? Do you think you would really be able to kick Codek's*... I mean Death's arse?




*sorry couldn't resist a stupid joke.

It might be Russian, and I think it is, but to be honest I don't really know. All I know is, that tetris is a Russian game.

The guy who designed tetris made another set of puzzle games, I think for the Xbox. Anyone played it to see what it is like?
