Negative Reinforcement
All for the equivalent of videogame crack.
Several people in the documentary point out an aspect of TETRIS that I never realized before...
Although many praise the videogame for focusing on BUILDING rather than DESTROYING, the game is actually all about negative reinforcement.
All your successes immediately disappear from the screen...
What you're looking at... what you're constantly being forced to deal with... are all your fucking failures...
Which is, of course, the story of my life.
(Come on now, we ALL saw that coming...)
P.S. If you haven't noticed, I've been going a wee bit animated-gif-construction crazy up in here because it's one of the few programs I've got that Vista DOESN'T have fatal compatibility problems with! I swear, VISTA may be the final straw for me...
