I knew which video this would be! Its a brilliant summary indeed!

I feel for Fractal though, he came so close!

Its a classic conflict of interests. But I believe he is a sportsman guy and truly was happy for the kid. Kinda felt bad though, but this is how things goes. Either way, congratz to both.

That was actually really entertaining! Thanks.

I've always been pretty bad at Tetris. This video was very engaging and entertaining. It tells a great story.

The fact that there even are video games that are forty years old makes me feel anceint.
