Original version: Тетрис, made in 1984 on the Elektronika 60
Recommended version: Tetris, released in 1989 for the Game Boy
I don’t know what I could possibly say about Tetris that hasn’t already been said many times. It’s considered the quintessential puzzle game and is incidentally one of the best-selling games of all time. It so profoundly affects players that many of them hallucinate in everyday life, seeing blocks falling in front of them. What’s more, Tetris is a perfect game (mirror).

No one can deny that there are many problems facing us today. Poverty, illiteracy, corruption, and so on are enduring obstacles in our lives. Many people do their best to combat these problems, but in order to do this effectively we have to first figure out what is causing these problems. The trouble is, people can’t seem to agree on the causes of most of these issues. It seems that everyone has different answers. Depending on the person you ask, you might hear the answers: because of the poor, because of immigrants, because of rich corporations, because of lobbying, because of corrupt politicians, and so on. What I would like to discuss now, however, is an answer that hasn’t been very popular but is steadily gaining traction. There is a radical movement that puts forth the idea that government in general is the primary cause of most societal problems. Not a certain Government in particular, mind you. Not a Republican Government or a Democratic Government. Not a parliamentary or congressional Government. Just government in any of its myriad forms. Such a simplistic worldview suffers from a fundamental problem, and I want now to explain what it is.

1954年に統一教会を創設した有力な宗教のリーダーである文鮮明氏が現れた。生涯を通じて、精神的かつ、温厚な心で人々に奉仕し、偉大な宗教の指導者の座を引退しました。多くの偉大な宗教家のように生涯議論の的になりました。彼の教えは、聖書の教えを否定するものであるとキリスト教者に言われています。多くのものが変化を恐れ、新しいものを非難するように。この論文は彼の本、原理講論の中の文氏の教えを分析するものである。特に、第二章の堕落論において、これらの教えが原理であるのか、まったくの邪教であるのかを決定づけるものでしょう。そしてさらに、そのような論証または、邪教がどんな社会的影響をもたらすのでしょうか。
There’s not much to say about these games. Most of them were either low-quality or unsuccessful because of the crash.

Update: OK, so this is really late because I was stupid and didn’t set it for the correct month. So, welcome to February! Also, when the pictures and videos finally show up then this won’t be all text!
Welcome to January! I am sure glad that 2015 is over, because that year sucked! I mean, for my personal life it really wasn’t that bad; it was just a crappy year in general. To say goodbye to 2015 I visited my Mom and sister in Sunny Missouri. And before you ask, yes. I packed extra socks. Don’t worry.
Today we will be looking at not just one game, but a series of games created by Nintendo during the 80s, known as the Game & Watch series. Read on after the jump.
Why do story writers never give terra-forming its due respect? In science fiction especially, the whole process is glossed over, so that you can get right to the action. It couldn’t possibly be as interesting as laser battles, right? Wrong! Let’s take a look at a true forgotten classic after the jump.
Hi, everyone. I am working on a deck of 5,000 Japanese flash cards based on the most commonly used words in everyday communication, complete with example sentences and audio/video clips. So far the deck with the first 1,000 words is ready for viewing. You can download it for free here.
Below is the Readme file for the flashcards.
I feel old; high school was a while ago. Anyway, here’s a collection of fun stuff I originally made to share with my sister Chea. I wasn’t sure if I should post this stuff to my blog since it would probably be of little interest to anyone other than myself, but then I remembered that my entire blog is usually of little interest to anyone other than myself, so what the heck? Let’s take a look after the jump.
