That's not even to mention the provisions of SOPA which exclude it from due process, meaning any site could be blacklisted, even if the government doesn't have a reason.  That's the worst part right there; considering it could be used to remove any content under the pretense of "anti-piracy".

There's a newer version available on Nintendo's download service for the Wii.  It was made by Akira and features hard drop, three-piece preview, and online play.

There are also versions for the Game Boy Advance and Gamecube (Nintendo Puzzle Collection) as well as a port of the Akira Wii version on the DS download service that feature hard drop and extended preview, but no online play.   There is no official version which implements a hold feature.

Additionally NullpoMino features a Dr. Mario mode titled "Physician".

(Also, Puyo Puyo Tsu owns bones and you should totally check it out.)

Why are you using an external mouse when you have that lovely trackpad?

In a nutshell, right-clicking for games.  In most normal circumstances I use the trackpad.

Just finished sewing this scalemate plush a few weeks ago.  Unfortunately I didn't get to keep it, as it was a present!

I'm pretty proud of it, as it's the first thing I've sewn in a long time.

[TL;DR:]

Hello all, thebard here.

The reason I signed up at HD is due to a revelation I had recently:
Although I love many games and have spent a good portion of my life playing them, I've never been particularly good at one game (or game series).  I usually end up spreading myself too thin and become a "jack of all trades, master of none" type.  I decided that if I want to keep games as my hobby I should at least buckle down and spend some time getting better-than-average at a game.  I'm under no delusions that I'll ever become a "TA Death" clearing grand master, but I'd like to improve, and HD seems like a place filled with some pretty cool cats.

TL;DR: I want to get better at Tetris, and you guys seem cool.  Let's have fun and improve.

I also have spent my time online for the past few years at a very large forum (SA), and I miss the old days of a smaller, more tightly-knit forum.  Hopefully I'll get to know a few of you people better in my time here.

I'm a graduate student and I also work as a cartographer for a company, so I may not have all the time in the world, but I'm looking forward to spending what time I have on HD.  I'm not particularly talented, but I'd like to improve.  I've been playing a lot lately, mostly on NullpoMino and occasionally on Tetris DX.  I used to play TAP semi-frequently at an arcade when I was still in Japan but I never got better than average, honestly.  I'm currently saving up to buy a board which my local arcade said they'd install in a candy.
