I should thank Obeece for my skills. I believe it went something like this...
"Hey, check it out, you get a spaceship if there's like over 100,000 points"
"Oh, cool. I could do better than that though"
"The hell you can"
And then for a couple of weeks we tried to out-tetris each other, he got bored, I got better. I spend the subsequent year playing in class every chance I could get.
