The Tetris movie released on Apple+ this past weekend, so of course I had to see it day one. I'm happy to report that while I was a little nervous going into it, overall the movie was very enjoyable, the actors were great, and most things didn't feel embellish too much, just enough to heighten what was already a really crazy story to begin with.

To get in the Christmas spirit I played some Home Alone for SNES (3 parts) and NES: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJhi5yPIjtM&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGsNffWi1fo&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqXoKVOCy58&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1UA5f09PLk&w=854&h=480] Then that was followed up with some E.T. on the Atari 2600: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ5A5PqCygU&w=854&h=480] And then finally Battletoads on the NES: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guk2OoxBFDE&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W2uyC0NIH0&w=854&h=480] The new "let's play"-style of videos are certainly much easier and faster to record, so…
