And I would never imagine stopping you.
What should we try next?

i don't know. i didn't even know they had this game on these things
though i guess i shouldn't be surprised
they rerelease it every two years or something

[ there's a fairly short pause - long enough for a single run of a game - and then nazuna posts her own run of a game. 14.6k... not bad for a one and done. ]

your go

[ is this girl making up words to get at her. rude. ]

wait how is tetris not that then
it's the exact same just with a few extra steps

[anuglybloom]

that's dumb
just because it's better doesn't mean it's not the same thing

i bet i could whoop your ass at 3rd strike

[anuglybloom]

I'd like to see you try.

[nightcalling]

ohhh?
you're awful confident for someone who's never even been to earth

[anuglybloom]

Why would you think there would be a lack of video games in the future.

[nightcalling]

i didn't say video games
i said third strike
unless you're the kind of loser that coops up indoors playing retro stuff all day?
