Blocks! Or do I mean cubes? Don’t! We had a whole argument about this. Cubes are a kind of block, as far as I’m concerned, and so are other shapes like the lower-case L Tetris block. If we confined ourselves only to cubes, we’d have to talk about the Companion Cube from Portal, again, and then I’d be forced to counterbalance it with Peter Molyneux’s Curiosity cube just to be mean. But no, I’d never be so cheeky as to put a red herring in the list…
Be sure to share your best blocks in the comments below. Happy Friday!
I’d like to talk about the T-Spin. This is, quite simply, placing a T-tetromino (a Tetris block to you and me) into a T-slot, then rotating it before the piece is Locked Down. Locked Down in Tetris lore is a proper noun, and therefore must be capitalised and I am very much on board with that, because it makes me say the word in a sort of fist pump kind of way and as any Tetris aficionado knows, Locked Down is the full stop on your sentence. There’s no going back.
