I was in my computer class in highschool and the yearly flash game that everyone was playing was Tetris Friends. I had never played before then and decided to give it a go. After becoming the best Tetris player in the school I decided to take it up as a mega-obsessive-asian-hobby
What other games did you branch out to? The only other game I was interested in was World of Warcraft, but now I don't have the time to play it and I'll only log on to make videos for my youtube channel.
I should've been more specific, what other Tetris games did you branch out to?I found out about a year later that there were other Tetris clones, and the 2nd one I played was Lockjaw, which was fun but too bland. After than I switched to Nullpomino and Tetris DS which I have stuck with since. I hate Tetris Friends now, and refuse to play it because it sucks
What do you not like about Tetris Friends?I realised after I stopped sucking, that the game was far too laggy for my speed and the community is very ghost like and bland. The only thing I like about Tetris Friends is it's easy to hack ^^
Do you think Tetris Friends is a better place for casual Tetris players and beginners?Oh yes, I think it's a breeding ground for casuals. But the problem I found is theres nothing to tell what the beginners to do after they stop sucking. It's like learning to ride a bike with stabalisers and nobody ever taking them off or telling you that you CAN take them off. I had a bike when I was child...good times ^^
How did you learn about Harddrop?So I was taking a stroll in the Amazon with my friend Adam ( He hates tetris but he's great in bed) and he found this worm. I said to him "Wow! that's a big worm :3" and he then replies "Indeed". I step on the worm, watching it's guts slowly seep into my shoe to give my toes company. I then discover a lonely tree in my bathroom. It was sad. I kicked it and the cat ran away. But the moral of the story is never devide by fight club. And that's how I found Harddrop.
What is your Tetris goal?To be the fastest tetris player in the milky way
What steps are you taking to become the fastest Tetris player (in the milky way)?I make to sure to play everyday (Except when I can't) on various game modes and workout physically for about 2-4 hours. I maintain a healthy diet and try to troll everyone on harddrop. I dream about tetris and kittens which makes my reations and cuteness factor better. I get interviewed by Dallas godesses and eat lots of pizza. Also I tell gif that paradox is amazing and I love him.
What's your current 40 lines time?Hacked - 0.65 seconds Unhacked - 29.25 seconds
Wowowowo super fast. What a proEat your stewed rabbits, kids.
I guess Sheena's going to kill everyone including herself cause you said Paradox is amazing. WHy you think I did it? xD
Hahha What do you find amazing about Paradox? Well, nothing really. He's a useless asian lump. But I love him and most people arn't keen on him because he's alot like marmite. But he helped me alot in Tetris, did I mention I love him?
Aw bromance how cute! Asiomance
Would you recommend Paradox as a mentor to other aspiring Tetris pros? Or would you want to keep him to yourself?No. I would get jealous and kill all the kittens. Don't make me kill them. I have a gun.
What tips did Paradox give you?Sadly when he interrogated me I made an oath never to tell another human. All I can say is: "You'll never get the formula Plankton!! ke ke ke ke" *scuttles off*
Currently what's your favorite Tetris platform? Is 9 and three quarters a valid platform?
NopeThen Nullpomino
What makes Nullpomino better than the rest??It's fully customisable right down to the nitty gritty. Multiplayer is amazing when the servers are hosted well. It's the transformers of tetris imo
Yeah nullpomino is really customizable although do you think it's something beginners should try playing? The user interface is not very user friendlyNo, begginers should start out with Tetris Friends and then move on to Nullpo after they've learnt the basics
What tips would you give out to beginners looking to improve? Just keep playing at your own pace, don't get stressed if you don't understand a move or strategy straight away because with time anything is possible, unless your and old git like caffeine and havn't got long left if you know what I mean..
Do you have any last words? Any shoutouts? Ask me if I'm a tree
Are you a tree?No GOOD NIGHT LADIES AND GENTRUMEN
