Nullpomino - "Playing Forever" pattern

By request. In this video I demonstrate how to perform a loop of the Playing Forever pattern for the 7 Bag randomizer used in the majority of Tetris games after 2001. Since the game deals pieces in distinct "bags" containing each of the 7 unique pieces, it is possible to divide the pieces up into a handful of clean looping patterns. The end result is this 140-piece pattern, which can be looped ad infinitum at low gravity.

@kitaru2004 I haven't heard of most of those!

I just had another crazy coincidence happen with another YouTuber/redditor. He had a chat with me on YouTube a while ago. Right after starting a reddit account, he found one of my comments!

@barelycertain I mess around with Stepmania sometimes -- mostly when I don't have access to other music games. I play pretty much all Bemani, though: DDR, beatmania, IIDX, Pop'n Music, GuitarFreaks/DrumMania, and a bit of DanceManiax as well. I play some old-school DJMAX PC sims and DJMAX Technika occasionally, and Technic Beat once in a blue moon.

@kitaru2004

Tell me the ones you play! I'm looking for some myself. I mentioned Osu! because it's the one I play a lot, and I'd like to add you. Do you play StepMania?

[kitaru2004]

@barelycertain I have a couple friends that play a lot of Osu, but I'm not big on it myself. I do play a lot of other music games, though.

@kitaru2004

I can imagine the coincidence of seeing it up on Reddit so soon after talking about it here. Now you know it's all connected, and the world is tiny. The way we met is amazing. o.0

Do you play Osu! by any chance?

[kitaru2004]

@barelycertain It was strangely timely from my perspective. :) I think it was maybe a day or two after I responded here that another Tetris player woke me up with a phone call saying that we were front paged on Reddit, haha.

56s is not a bad place to be. :) Keep at it!

@kitaru2004

wow. yeah, I am daskrip, and wow, I guess I'm wrong then. TC it was!

i'm more amazed at the coincidence of you re-meeting me here.

i'm getting into nullpomino like crazy nowadays. so far my best is 56 seconds for 40 lines. still transitioning from the ds controls.

[kitaru2004]

@barelycertain Are you daskrip? I was in that thread, and it was definitely a link to TC Wiki. :)

@kitaru2004

I think I posted a link to the HardDrop wiki. It's HardDrop that got all that traffic that day.

The people on Reddit were talking about how the website wouldn't load.

[kitaru2004]

@barelycertain Haha yeah, I don't think Tetris Concept has seen that much traffic flow in one day ever before that. :p That was quite something!
