Yea this got pretty bad for me. The worse is when I was drunk and couldn't sleep because the blocks kept moving in my head and made me sick

I knew I wasn't the only one. The worst thing is, I have ADHD so I keep on playing random scenarios through my head during class and I never get anything done :<

Often-times when I pick something up, I envision myself as adding it to my "inventory".

Stocking up the refrigerator is always easier if Theme A is playing.

I once saw a TGM cabinet in a dream, but I didn't get to play
The thing is, it showed the exact same splash screen as the real thing

playing for years and this still happens to me all the time.

One time when I was really tired and drifting in and out of sleep, my mind was wondering and thinking about games. Suddenly I was stuck in a precarious scenario where I wanted to T-spin a piece into place, but I couldn't because Francis was entwined by a Smoker. o.O

Shortly there-after I decided it was time to goto bed. :x

Wouldn't that be a nightmare?

Also, I always get the piece I need, and the I block is always in my hold.

used to have this when i played tetrinet2... but not anymore

Same here, tnet2 when i was a newb, went away after a while. It did slightly come back when i started learning double rotate and went away again. Makes u wonder how the brain rewires itself don't it? Ah, within a decade or so, we'll be able to electronically simulate the human brain. (ie. "Blue Brain Project")

Okay, now I'm officially addicted to Tetris, 'cuz I dreamt about TGM-style play with various polyominoes of various colors and shapes...Rainbow I-pieces to make a rainbow Tetris
But earlier in the dream, I saw Roger Dean's logo plastered on the outside walls of the local mall
Creepy!

GDC (Game Developers Conference) happened 2 weeks ago. The 1 hour long Tetris Effect talk is one of only few talks you can watch for free.

https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1025723/Making-Tetris-Effect

Besides Tetsuya Mizuguchi and Mark MacDonald, It also features Art Director Takashi Ishihara giving insights in the Tetris Effect development process. At 9:40 you can see a nice preproduction video and at 49:20 you can see a prototype of a downstack mode that sadly didn't make it into the final game.

edit: sorry, video seems to be behind the paywall now.
