    The great thing about having Google as a home page is the stuff you learn from time to time. Well, given we have a new forum here, and I just opened up the Browser, June 6th is the 25th anniversary of Tetris. Now I know with so many other games now Tetris is probably way too simplistic for this current generation, but man that game was awesome when I played it. You got all those little blocks, the big Tetris clear, and it wasn't about who you kill, but how many points you got and how far you can go. I can't believe it's been 25 years. Really doesn't feel that long.

    Yeah, I admit, they could have done better. Still, the heart was there, I think. ;)
