NES Tetris "playaround" in 02:17.36 by Baxter

[automotiveDIY]

yes! were watching an 8 bit game in 1080p  ;p who woulda guessed 20 years ago huh?

[flygonbreloom]

@automotiveDIY Remember the days where Mega Drives were High Definition? :D

[kargaroc386]

I presume that the sporadic block rotation while falling is the luck manipulation?

[TriggerheartExcelica]

I wonder what the Secret Grade for this woulda been.

[LightningLord2]

He was just dicking around in making a pattern and he still beat the Highscore. Awesome.

[TM2SPECTRE]

this game is super art

[jujube4000]

wow this is so awesome haha

[Swiffers]

Too cool!!! ^_^

[MikeReiner]

I'm not sure if I found the video quality or the video itself more impressive.

[matthasyouinhisspell]

epic! Baxter ftw

[kefkasakura]

Lol @ 1080p, at the time we couldn't even play the NES at 360p xD

[dobrenarcisflorin91]

@kefkasakura Or 240p xD

[TheExarion]

I'm gonna sound like such a nerd... but the quality of the video is fantastic!

[flygonbreloom]

@TheExarion Why thank you! I encoded it myself, glad to see someone that likes the High Definition project.

Be sure to expect more High Definition videos when mid-July passes, I am currently limited to a dial-up connection due to exceptional circumstances (Long story), but will be regaining ADSL2+ access when Telstra installs more ports into the local telephone extange.

[FeminineCuttlefish]

Proof that god exists.

[TheExarion]

*applause* Beautiful

[Diamondsofmayhem]

@TheExarion agreed

[skillertume]

goddammit. I wonder how many days he spent doing this? :p

[otakutom17]

It's playaround videos like this that I really love watching TAS's for. I never even thought anything like that could be done in Tetris...haha!

[SmokeMaxxx]

Hoooly shiz... talk about manipulating your luck.

[batlin]

Cute run!

[sacredskullkid]

My brain just exploded.

[glitchsys]

Look at the level. It seems like they just sped up the video and then overlayed the regular Tetris music on top of it so it sounds normal.

[thechucknorrisofNSMB]

@glitchsys then where do the sound effects come from?

[JosephCollins]

@glitchsys

"Tool-assisted speed run".  That's all I have to say.

[soulhunger1]

@glitchsys Look at your comment. It seems like you just smashed your face onto your keyboard then overlayed the text with regular English words on top of it so it looks normal.

[Meganarb]

@soulhunger1 LOL

[NonRandomUser]

@glitchsys

How do morons like you manage to breathe?

You somehow completely missed the GIANT message at the VERY BEGINNING informing viewers that this was a tool-assisted speedrun (or superplayaround, in this case).

[goldug]

@glitchsys Umm, have you heard of "Pressing down on the D-Pad" before? If not, I suggest you try it and see what happens at lvl 00...

dumbass...

[Meganarb]

@goldug Knowing him, he would get a game over.

[JimTheFly]

That was severely impressive. I don't care that this was tool-assisted, using an emulator or even possibly using manipulation... this was some wickedness.

[kydzyr0]

This is mind-blowing once you finally come to after just waking up and thinking, "wtf is he doing?! He could've just...OOOOOOH! This is HOT!"

[RoyalGreenTea]

whuuaaaaat?

[topazshot88]

That's very well done.

[feitclub]

Were you manipulating to get certain pieces, or just using what you got?

[Nahoc10]

Manipulating for sure.

[sethhh7]

Hehe nice one

[GoDSpAmBoT]

Playing Tetris as it was meant to be is sooooo 90's

[Mysterypea]

At first, i was clueless.

Then, i was amazed.

Then...

...Well, that's for you to find out.
