Tetris virtuoso Shuey187 has already used the game to create a Mario sprite, and is now back to take on Luigi. Although the actual creation of the Luigi character took 64 minutes, you can watch the entire process in less than five thanks to the magic of time lapse. There’s a lot to admire here: patience, dedication, artistry, and the unbelievable skill needed to spend all that time at the top of the playing field without losing. Check it out after the break.

Unless you were a kid who liked to put everything in his mouth, you probably never looked at a Tetris cartridge and thought: “Man, that looks delicious”. But times have changed and thanks to Flickr user elegantcakesaz, The retro NES cartridge has been transformed into a giant Groom’s cake decorated with tetromino. Take note ladies, if your husband-to-be is obsessed enough to order cartridge cake for his Bachelor party, it’s probably a safe bet that excessive attention to gaming will probably be an issue in your marriage… Just sayin’.
If you enjoy some old school Tetris but have tired of the computer version then this Toppling Tetracubes game will bring new life to your obsession. Just stack the colored cube the game specifies before the timer goes off and the tower starts shaking or else you will have to see if you can re-stack the whole thing before the timer runs out. Think of this as the first step toward prying your lazy butt away from computer games.

If you’ve ever tried to breastfeed your plants, it may be time to admit that you have a serious garden coddling problem. Why not channel all that extra energy into playing Tetris with their tetromino shaped pots? After awhile you may even forget there was anything growing in them; which means you’ll finally stop killing your plants with kindness and see those Perennials through to adulthood; or possibly subject them to Tetris induced neglect. Eh, it’s a start.
