The Tetris Concept forums have retired, but thank you for visiting them over the years! Our wiki has moved to Wikia. Also, someone has done a great job making a new Tetris fan site at harddrop.com. So long, and keep on tetrising!
A little history behind the site. Tetris has always been one of my strongest hobbies, and I had even made websites about it in the past. One beta name was “Tetris Locus,” horrid I know. Then I started writing a couple FAQs about Tetris for gamefaqs.com. The first was for Tetris Worlds Online, of which I have many fond memories pwning noobs on Xbox Live.
The week I registered tetrisconcept.com I happened to be in an office at a place where you pretty much just sit in front of a computer and do nothing all day. I was so bored that week I decided to start a project: tetrisconcept.com. I initially just posted news about the game, some videos, and a section with scholarly articles relating to Tetris (interesting stuff). Partially, I felt the need to start this site since at that time there wasn’t anything available for Tetris fans. Later I began a forum, which for over a year consisted of like… two or three posters (exaggerating). Still later, I started a Wiki, which I had considered before, but didn’t make the leap of faith until my friend and member #2 colour_thief urged me into it. That was the state of this site for the last two years or so.
So now I’ve lost interest in the forum and wiki gigs, but I still have this webhosting and all. I figure I may as well broaden my horizons and see what blogging is all about. Since Tetris is indeed still a major hobby of mine, and it has driven my goals in some form or another for some time, it’ll necessarily remain part of the site.
So you have Tetris Concept: Part 1 (news and videos), Part 2 (forum/wiki), and now Part 3. Maybe this is a stupid idea, but hey, people told me a website about Tetris was ridiculous in the first place, and I’ve always liked writing.
I want to test the media capabilities of WordPress, so here’s a commercial that rocked my world today.
I want to go run a marathon on impulse now.
