I suppose my ultimate goal should be sub 30, but with the line clear delay on TF I don't think it will be possible just yet.  Keep up the good work!

Well, Ford? You still trying or what? Been busy lately?

right now i got the highest DAS/AR settings on TF, after swindling the wall street journal for 250 rubies  so i'm just getting used to those right now. I imagine i'll break my record within a couple of weeks. (glad to see people are still keeping tabs on me)

Post your questions, comments or the pending onslaught of insults. And JOIN THE CHALLENGE if you don't think that 2010 is a good enough year for you to do anything productive in it.
Just too add another little milestone, May 12th is the one year anniversary of my Tetris Friends account!

It really doesn't seem that long ago, when FreeTetris.com wasn't working for some reason, but I was already addicted at that point and really wanted to play. So I said fine, and I reluctantly tried Tetris Friends. If FreeTetris wasn't down for that short peroid, I would have continued to playing it, never learning of Sprint (chances are, not even of HardDrop)!
History would have been alot different.

Since I began playing Sprint very soon after, I imagine it's been around a year since I started. I don't remember my initial time, but it's safe to say i've cut down well over a minute (seeing as it's taken an entire year, One minute really doesn't seem like that much )

I suppose you're (probably not) wondering what's next on the horizon. I've gotten a pretty good hold of the higher DAS/AR settings, they'll soon help me cut down those imperative milliseconds. I'm also considering blowing 20 bucks on a Gameboy with Tetris, I'm taking Drivers Ed. soon, and all my friends claim I need some entertainment to get through the boring classes.
It's hard to say when i'll beat my record next, but i'm plotting it to be sooner than later. Until then...



...i dono, i'll be playing a f*ckload of tetris.

nice, when is your 1 year challenge over?



QuoteLike many setups here, it is useful if your opponent doesn't move and you get 4 Ts in a row.
