Hey guys, sorry for sporadic posting the past few days, I was on a walk-about finding myself (I was in the trunk of a Buick!) and, like the aborigines say in The Gods Must Be Crazy , click-click-clack-click-clack. I hope you understand, and weren’t hoping I was dead (even though I know you secretly were!). Anyway, I’m back AND READY TO DO THIS. Rawr. RAWR! This is the face of some chick that’s all make-upped to look pixelated . It serves as a perfect example of how important high-resolution is, because she looks like a scary clown . Now I know what you’re thinking: “I’d still hit that like an 8-bit princess”. And of course you would, you’d hit anything. Only thing is: she wouldn’t hit you . Stick to the stuffed animals, champ. Please, Someone Increase Her Resolution [hawtness] Thanks to Aisha, who looks good at any resolution, even if you have to squint.

This is a Tetris themed dress created by Erin, the writer of A Dress A Day . I would totally wear it, and I don’t even care who sees me, provided nobody sees me. Then, I’ll take pictures of myself and leak them on the internet . I am such a pretty girl! Hit the jump for a shot of the back and a closeup of the neck line.

This is a video of 36 skateboarders playing a game of human Tetris on some hill in San Francisco while wearing giant neon shapes on their heads. Except it’s not actually Tetris because not all of them are rocking tetrominoes. No, some of those mothers got damn pentominos on their heads. And I’m not talking the little red bits in olives! But, damnit, now I want olives. Shit, and some artichoke hearts. Fun fact: Jesus once turned an olive branch into a magic wand and banished hate from an evil sorcerer’s heart. Then he did the water into wine thing and everybody had a good time. Plus, there was live music. You can’t beat that. Youtube Thanks to Duncan, who once tried playing Frogger on a skateboard and lost.

This is a head rendered in Tetris blocks as imagined by Rihards Rozans . I have no idea if he used his own face for the model , but if he did, he’s a pretty handsome guy. You know, in a Donkey Kong sort of way. Speaking of which: remember Candy Kong in Donkey Kong Country ? I wanted to hit that like a bushel of bananas. Uhhh, still green and $0.79/lb? Hit the jump for three more shots of the blocks.

Want to make LEGO shaped cookies ? Well you’re in luck thanks to this $10 rolling cookie cutter directly from LEGO ! Oh, hold the phone — I just read a review. I am a very capable and experienced sugar cookie designer. If the dough is not the perfect thickness–not too thick, not too thin, it will stick on the wheel. I very carefully and tediously cut out about 50 of this itty, bitty (1″ x 1″) bricks on my cookie sheet. I chilled the dough for 1/2 an hour in the refrigerator to help keep the shape during baking. However, they didn’t hold their shape during baking because they are so small. They came out of the oven in an unrecognizable shape. Well, I guess that’s out. That’s okay though because I bet it still works for Play-Doh. And Play-Doh, as we all know, is delicious. It tastes like gummy-salt! Uh-oh — another review! I am so disappointed. We bought the cookie cutter for school bday party and the cake mold for family party. The cookie cutter is cracked on one brick. Used it anyway. The dough sticks to the cutter and is nearly impossible to get it off without ruining the shape. Tried freezing the dough to make it harder. Cuts better but… My son cried after they baked . They look like plain old cookies. The lego shape completely disappears. BWAHAHAHAHA — your son cried after they baked! Did you check to make sure his training bra wasn’t on too tight? Because that shit can cause serious discomfort. I mean, I’VE HEARD (I wear my roommates bra while she’s at work). Product Site Thanks to rox, who once won a bake off and bake on IN THE SAME DAY.

This is a guy with a Tetris themed shaving in the side of his head. The rest of his hair has got kind of a rainbow motif. I suspect he’s French. And, not unlike that toast of theirs, delicious . Syrup me! Hit the jump for a couple more.

A Tetris heart tattoo, I love it . I can’t really tell what part of the body it’s on, but I’m gonna go ahead and pretend it’s not the taint. Because that would be a big one. Hit the jump for several more Tetris tattoo, including another heart.

Miss me? I missed you. I hope everyone had a safe yet explosive weekend. Amazingly, I’m still alive and fingerful. Let me tell you: it wasn’t easy. Now, let’s return to our regularly scheduled program, shall we? NASA, who I used to respect , wants to build a bunch of transformers to do their dirty work. *shaking head* And I used to want be an astronaut . NASA wanted a robot that could start as 100 blocky modules dropped from an airplane to a desert, reconfigure into a rover that could drive to a sand dune, and then change again to “grow” legs and climb up it. Once the blocky robot reached the top, it would transform into a greenhouse that could protect a group of seeds for two weeks. Only 20 of the modules were built during an ambitious project more than two years ago. But together, they are known as Superbot. Now repeat after me, “All hail Superbot!” ZOMG — A COUPLE OF YOU ACTUALLY DID IT! You make me sick. Hit the jump to see two of the robot’s other configurations.

This is a NSFW video of a tetrad guy watching a Tetris orgy video. Which, if watched without sound , is actually pretty safe for work. But then you don’t get to hear all the moaning, which, honestly, is the only reason I stay in seedy hotels in the first place. As a matter of fact, a few weeks ago I heard this one couple going at it so hard it sounded like they were gonna kill each other. Then gunshots. Then me collecting my audio equipment and tiptoeing to the car. Hardcore Tetris Orgy Brings Back Odd Memories [gizmodo] Thanks to Julian, who’s actually owns that title on Blu-ray.

Today marks the 25th birthday of Tetris . In its quarter century of service it has been responsible for thirty googlejillion man hours of gameplay and countless drops in productivity. I know I got fired for playing at work once. You here that, the man? YOU CAN’T HOLD ME DOWN! Happy Birthday, Tetris, this long piece is for you. And by long piece I mean 40. A GLUGLULGLULAGLUG! At 25, `Tetris’ drops into place as gaming icon [yahoonews] Thanks to Pat, Watch-303, catch22 and /Eyeroll, who don’t even bother working at work anymore.
