What do you do if you have a hundred or so friends with nothing to do, an auditorium, a video camera, and lots of free time on your hands? Well, I suppose you could always do this…
(Yes, yes, I know: Old news. You saw this ages ago. Your mom forwarded you the link last summer and it was old then, etc. Look, it’s new it to me, so there.)
Secret of Good Secrets
Sometimes in-game secrets are fun and sometimes they're lame. Here's why.
Are Lootboxes Gambling?
Obviously they are. Right? Actually, is this another one of those sneaky hard-to-define things?
I Was Wrong About Borderlands 3
I really thought one thing, but then something else. There's a bunch more to it, but you'll have to read the article.
Mass Effect Retrospective
A novel-sized analysis of the Mass Effect series that explains where it all went wrong. Spoiler: It was long before the ending.
What Does a Robot Want?
No, self-aware robots aren't going to turn on us, Skynet-style. Not unless we designed them to.
Old news. I saw this ages ago. My mom forwarded me the link last summer and it was old then.
Sorry. Had to.
And should I be so inclined, in order to finish this cliche comment, I’d have to mention comment position. But that would be over the top.
Coolness and cleverness never gets old….
First time for me… those funny French…
1) the person in charge is really bad at tetris
2) at the 1:10 mark they make a mistake and a white brick on the left wall drop 2 rows on a single
Thanks for saying both those for me, GWvsJohn – every time I watch, I complain about both those things.
Never seen it before…but everyone should make sure to check out the other videos in the series. He’s got one for Pole Position and also pong.
The “music” and sound effects with his mouth are the best part.
Damn, GWvsJohn beat me to it on both points…
@ Darin. “But that would be over the top.”
No. That would be at exactly at the top. ;-) But thanks anyway.
Edit: Hey, cool edit feature. Thanks, Shamus.
Never saw them before.
Thanks for pointing them out
Man, that guy is horrible at tetris.
I like time-lapse, and this is somewhat like it…
Seen it before, of course, but that’s true for most internet memes.
new to me, too, actually (but I generally avoid YouTube, etc).
Oh, and I plan on finally trying out that new edit feature everyone keeps commenting on (though I’m halfway expecting it to be one of those “in” jokes – that people are just hitting new line and typing “Edit: blah blah blah”).
Edit: like this.
Nope, it really is real – nifty! (and a good job on it, too – allowing editting without requiring login – write this one yourself, too? Or did you find it somewhere?)
Oh, and the author-save part seems to be failing – it may be that it’s requiring URL (when the regular comment does not).
ooOOOOoo!!! You can even close your browser and come back and edit! Very, VERY nice! IP address based? Very cool, however you did it.
…(ducks behind the desk).. never really was much for Tetris.. Cool video, though.. I can’t believe they had me watch a whole game.. akk!
I spent more time in college playing Tetris than going to my classes. I’ve never seen that video before. LOVE the sound effects! Thanks Shamus!
I’m highly amused to say this. but my mom actually *did* forward me the link last summer.
And it was old then, yes.
Whoa, editing. It occurs to me that this wasn’t last summer, but actually last November, but I’m in Phoenix, so the seasons kinda blur together.
That was actually kind of cool. First time for me, too.
I also watched the Pole Position one, and I gotta say, it brought back memories, man. Really.
Plus, those guys (and gals) REALLY had too much time on their hands, but God bless them for our enjoyment. :D
I just stumbledupon this video 2 days ago. I thought I’d send it to you but I then figured it was old and you probably saw it last year. Did ypou look at the video I DID send you about the inner workings of a living cell?
I liked the PONG one.. I like the credits listing the Pixels… creative.
Without the guy “bum”ing the music, it wouldn’t have been half as funny.
Actually, I hadn’t seen this one before, but I have seen this one (same author, different auditorium) :)
This is so nifty! I’m going to put it on my LJ to share with my friends who don’t read your blog.
I don’t care if it is so last summer. I like it! :-D
There are other movies on youtube with the same name (Human Tetris). I saw them a while ago and had a funny time watching them.

It’s a japanese gameshow where a wall with a figure-formed hole runs towards the players and they have to jump through to pass.
That was awesome and I’ve never seen it before. :D These people definitely have too much time on their hands, but I’m glad they did it. [snicker]

they could use some tips from this guy:

They should make Human Tetris into a real video game — NES original of course
Human tetris is SO funny
