ITP: Tetris

[donationsorgtfo]

[In the middle of camp, there is a pile oldschool huge Gameboys as well as boxes of Tetris, with the instruction manuals in every language.  Even yours.  Pick one up and play yourself, or watch the loli shrine maiden get top score and still continue playing]

... Does this thing have an end?

[slkfja;lijfea THAT PICTURE IS MOVING WTF... I'm interested, but only MILDLY SO. Don't get any ideas. =/]

...Gameboy? Tetris? What is this stuff?

[donationsorgtfo]

A game. The shapes keep falling and stacking on top of each other. I'm supposed to form solid lines with them to keep them from engulfing the picture.

1/3

[She's going to watch you a bit before trying it herself. It's boringly addictive in the worst way, but it doesn't seem so bad once you get up in levels-]

[kidnapcount9001]

[O SHIT L-BLOCK]

[kidnapcount9001]

[No amount of scrambling can save this game. BUT I WILL PREVAIL, DAMNIT. Once you've sunk back to level one, the only way left to go us up. o/]

[She's still muttering curses under her breath, though.]

[Inorite? The maximum score in these things is 9999999 and after a certain point, the computer floods your screen with nothing but z-shapes, which makes it absolutely impossible to keep going after a while.]

... Ah. I lost.

[kidnapcount9001]

[Is that right? Kind of a downer to just make you auto-lose, like that. Should get some kind of pixellated firework show, at least.]

As interesting as sliding blocks are, this sure gets old fast. [By which she means she's LOSING HORRIBLY but she's not gonna tell you that. >_>] Did this pile of junk come with any other moving picture games?

[donationsorgtfo]

[Newer versions let you go on forever. There's no end. Ever.]

I think this is it.

[There might be a Pokemon cartridge or two in there somewhere though]

[kidnapcount9001]

[Oh HELL YES. I'ma get a Squirtle and name it FLUFFY-KINS.]

Found this blue one after a bit of digging. [And considering the stuff she's seen where she comes from, the art of the giant blue turtle with canons coming out its back is nothing particularly strange.]

Well, that's not right. It asks for my name, but it only shows a poorly drawn picture of some dumb kid. They managed to get the right idea with the vest, but what's with that duckbill hat?

[donationsorgtfo]

Oh, that. You can't choose a girl?

[kidnapcount9001]

There's no option to, it just asks for my name. Starting over doesn't fix it, either.

[donationsorgtfo]

Hmm... I guess it's an older one then. There are apparently a lot of these.

[kidnapcount9001]

I guess I'll just have to give him a different name. [This is going to take some SRS CONSIDERATION because resisting the urge to name him Link is hard. =/] How many different moving picture things with the same name can there be?

[donationsorgtfo]

I'm not sure. I never paid attention.

[kidnapcount9001]

[Fills in DUMBPIG for the rival's name.] Speaking of names, I never caught [lol caught, I'm so witty] yours?
