I'm already confident that if anyone checks the blogs that mine will be greeted with intense dislike; however I have to get this off my chest.
Tetris used to be something I played to kill time - then I slowly moved into the more "competitive" aspect of it. My goal was to beat as many people as I could and eventually become the best - or so that was my "goal." My journey took me from Tetris DS to Blockles to Tetris Friends and finally to Blockbox and Tetris Online Japan. I've been a dedicated player since 2008, but as I took a short break from the game for finals.. I came to realization that even though we all like the same game - Tetris - it hasn't brought us together, but rather further apart. All of that has made me extremely exhausted.
There are those who believe Blockbox players are elitists -- I'd like to bring this to everyone's eyes that most users on Harddrop are elitists, otherwise why would you join this forum? To get better? To get tips? We're all here to e-brag about how good or "noob" we are. And from my perspective the ones who think Blockbox players are elitists are just envious of their skill and strength as a community. Sure we're a small group of players - but I believe we're more close knitted than most other players.
As much as I have enjoyed playing this game, I think the community has taken away most of the fun aspect for me.
I used to discriminate against those who played on TF and TOJ because I didn't know how to t-spin or combo or block them.. and have tried to get people to stop saying that either are crappy games. However even the players who aren't good say TF is for noobs. Of course, only noobs say that. People who are too arrogant to admit they are not good players so they have to put down a whole coommunity to make themselves feel better.
Anyways with all things said in the end it comes to this - I've lost interest in Tetris altogether. Maybe one day that interest will spark up again (maybe it'll be in a few days) but I've been thinking long and hard about this and it seems like the best to take a well deserved break for the time being.

You two are birds of a feather - but two wrongs do not make a right. Don't worry, since we're not friends I don't give a flying shiit for either one of you.
