MOVIE: ECSTASY OF ORDER: THE TETRIS MASTERS
NOVEMBER 19TH, 2016
After doing a handful of posts now, I kinda had the idea that I would try to write the post in a certain way that would hopefully tie the movie or TV show or whatever with either the content of the puzzle or an idea related to puzzle assembling into a nice little interconnected bow. Like a few posts ago I had the discussed briefly about the difficulty of the green bush, and the movie I watched was The Color of Money. Silly stuff, I know, you get it. Now, if I had taken a moment to think ahead, I would've saved my discussion from last post about working the puzzle from top to bottom for this post, when a watched this damn Tetris documentary! Oh well, missed opportunity.
So yeah, Ecstasy of Order was pretty good documentary about competitive Tetris players. Not quite to the level of King of Coin, as far as video game documentaries go, but I guess I can't think of many so I'll go out on a limb and say it's the second best. Solid B
If you're like me, you've spent a lot of hours on a Game Boy playing Tetris. Despite being one of the most basic and repetitive games ever made, it's amazing how addictive and popular it has been and still is to this day. I've always found it funny that it doesn't really matter at all how well you play, you still just get to those few moment where it's physically impossible to get the pieces in the correct spot and you just get that stack to game over. Even if you played perfectly and get down to just a few blocks left, you're only really saving yourself from about an extra minute of play, at most. Brutal game.
