I just watched an excellent 2 hour (just needed to edit title, as I noticed it was 2 hours and not 1, wow time really flew away!) long documentary. The build up in stages and showing the evolution of the best players achievements, is intense and very well edited, narrated and written documentary!

I know 1 hour is long and I wasn’t planning to watch everything, but time flew away. If you have any slight interest into this topic, I highly recommend you to take some time to watch. The video itself is broken up in 5 or so sections. So you could just watch a section at a time, if 2 hour is too long. There is a specific reveal that I do not want spoil, which was epic. Just insanity!

BTW have fun. Edit: Here some timestamps:

  1. 2:32 Chapter 1
  2. 11:39 Chapter 2
  3. 16:28 Chapter 3: ENEOOGEZ
  4. 25:48 Chapter 4: Hypertapping
  5. 31:45 Chapter 5: The Next Generation
  6. 49:00 Chapter 6: Rolling
  7. 1:00:27 Chapter 7: Vaulting & Scaling
  8. 1:15:25 Chapter 8: Colors
  9. 1:25:00 Chapter 9: Crash

    I already knew the broad strokes of most of what I’ve watched so far (about halfway), but it’s very entertaining. I’m watching at 2× speed, fwiw (which is typical for me).

    Edit: Just finished it. Wow. I had no idea there was still new ground to cover in NES Tetris. Really cool ending with explaining the next Grail in NES Tetris.
