Holy chit..whadda Tetris player (12.5meg)

WTF? I thought you guys were talking about his ability to not die, NOT the speed which was clearly sped up? Otherwise it would have taken 10 times as long to show his abilities.

I\'m still not convinced it was sped up.  And yes, I was also impressed by his ability to not die.

Well... uh... perhaps not? I just assumed it was. Otherwise it\'s just inhuman. :eek:

It\'s the background that gets me.  The images going in the background of the tetris screen are clearly moving in real time.  It would be too hard to speed the board, the score, and the next piece thing up, and keep that moving at that speed.  I just don\'t think someone would go to that much trouble to make a tetris video a bit deceiving.

Yeah, you\'re probably right. I just looked at his hands and thought it looked a bit weird. But I didn\'t really check all the things you did.

I cant even make out what the things in the background are so who\'s to say how fast they should be moving.

hmmmmm, ya well, this is the "internet"

Plus it doesnt take much to speed up a video

True skills. Japanese people always have a nack for stuff like this.

I can.  They are various gears and pieces of machinary.  At the speeds they are moving, I seriously doubt they were sped up at all.

at the end there was a rotating spinner gear (shaped like a sunflower or something), moving very slowly...i think i see what you mean, shockwaves. and wow! i feel like ive improved in tetris just by watching that guy play! what a nut!!
