Does anyone else play Tetris?

_{[Guess who finally discovered the game apps on his 'gear! And guess who's been playing the games ever since! Spoiler: this guy. Cooper sounds pretty excited, actually, in that almost kid-like way that the ones who know him will probably recognise. He speaks fast and chipper.]}

Damn good game. Very engaging, very challenging. I've yet to get past the 100 lines mark, but I'd very much like to believe I'm getting there.

_{[Beat. You know, sometimes he really doesn't want to be here, but this games-in-the-gears-thing certainly picked him up.]}

Falling puzzle pieces _[:D] ... that Minesweeper game isn't half bad, either. And if I've got my facts right there are more games available for purchase at the PokéMarts. So, Network: any recommendations?

_{[You should be able to HEAR the grin in his voice, seriously.]} Nothing like a good game to keep you occupied.


_[Action _{for anyone in Ecruteak! You're likely to find him somewhere in the middle of town on a park bench or something, cross-legged with an Eevee asleep in his lap, playing Tetris on his 'gear like a boss.]}

I've played it. [ Tetris is a good way to kill time when you travel for two weeks straight. ]

... Y'sound chipper.

[tapestodiane]

_{[Yeah, and have an amused smile with a partly raised eyebrow when the feed opens on his end. There's chipper BUBBLING beneath the surface.]}

Is there any reason I shouldn't?

[areyouderpy.livejournal.com]

I've played it before, but it's been a really long time since then. I'm pretty bad at Minesweeper though.

audio;

[tapestodiane]

I like it, but Tetris has a bit more appeal. If it's been so long, why not give it another go?

video.

[miniworth]

I've played it. I didn't have much else to do. [ Nonstop playing and a ton of lines dropped. Concentration and boredom at their best. ]

video.

[tapestodiane]

_{[He makes a little 'hm' sound, with a smile.]} Quite a time killer, isn't it?

[Audio]

[tigersninja.livejournal.com]

These things have... games?

[Technology is so confusing.]

[Audio]

[tapestodiane]

Impressive, isn't it?

_{[WHO KNEW there could be games packed into these things on top of all the other things they do!]}

You should find them in the 'applications'-tab. Not very hard to miss once you know they're there.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Un! Quite often! And I've played all the games they have so far, they're all pretty simple, but pretty fun!

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

Sometimes simple is the appeal. You got a favourite?

[Audio]

[usedrefresh.livejournal.com]

Those are some pretty cool games, dude, but have you ever played Angry Pidgeys?

[Audio]

[tapestodiane]

_[afshf!!]

Never heard of it. What's the premise?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

You've never played Tetris before, Dale? Seriously? It is pretty awesome though.

[video]?

[tapestodiane]

Not before yesterday. Looks like I've been missing something.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Tetris?

[That doesn't even sound like a word. But after discovering hangman and paintball, Envy is a little more curious about these weird games humans keep coming up with.]

What kind of game is that?

[video]

[tapestodiane]

_{[Cooper takes a brief moment to note that yep, this is the same guy the talked to briefly back when Dee disappeared, and then smiles easily when he offers an explanation.]}

A puzzle game. You arrange differently shaped blocks that fall from the top of the screen to fit together at the bottom of it.

_{[But he's not going to explain more indepth than that and instead smiles a little wider in a halfway grin.]}

It's in the 'applications'-tab on your 'gear. Give it a try.

[audio]

[warsfeil]

Tetris? [he sounds curious! he's still trying to get the Gear to do what he wants, when he wants it. he wished it came with a proper guide.] I haven't heard of it!

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

It's a puzzle game. Give it a try - it's listed in the applications tab.

_{[Hah, yeah, Coop can relate to that - having to learn it by himself hadn't really been all that difficult, but a guide would have been much appreciated.]}

video

[saltwaterwounds.livejournal.com]

Tetris? I've never even heard of that game. Is it one where...you draw lines? Why do the puzzle pieces fall?

[Sisuca is confused. Also, it should be specified that she is literally in the middle of the ocean right now.]

video

[tapestodiane]

No, you try to arrange the falling pieces to form a line.

_{[He looks curiously at all that water though.]}

Looks like you made it to Olivine. _{[It's a guess.]}

[action]

[darkenedgales]

[Did he hear the word "game"? Yep he definitely heard that guy on a bench say "game". That's enough to summon Crow, who now approaches Cooper with a smug look on his face.]

Duel Monsters.

[action]

[tapestodiane]

[Oooh hang on for a sec Crow he just needs to clear a line- but once that's done he flips his 'gear shut and looks up, smile and raised eyebrows in place.]

Duel Monsters?

[ video ]

[ladderpuns]

'Course I play Tetris. It's a classic, you know?

...I haven't tried many of the other games yet, though.

[ video ]

[tapestodiane]

A lot of people say that. Guess I missed out on it when it first came around.

_{[He doesn't look terribly bothered by this.]}

I'd recommend Minesweeper but you look like more of a Snake guy.

[video]

[adamant]

Tetris...?

[ Brb attempting to find the games option. ]

[video]

[tapestodiane]

A puzzle game. Look at the applications-tab.

_{[:) this might be a new favourite thing.]}

[puzzling]

Ah, are Tetris and Minesweeper these "video games" I have heard about?

video;

[tapestodiane]

I'd imagine so, Professor. I take it you haven't played?

[Voice]

[babel_hacker]

Definitely played them.

[Who's a gamer? He is. :D]

I pretty much played all the games in the 'Gear.

[Voice]

[tapestodiane]

Any favorites?

_{[Coop can totally get into this whole gaming-thing.]}

[audio]

[quickattackjack]

The network store has solitaire!

_{[Jack, that game is depressing.]}

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

So I've been told. I'm going to have to head down and get it.

_{[IS NOT. He likes THINKING games.]}

[video]

[justicereigns]

What's your fastest minesweeper time? [He plays too much of it yes.]

[video]

[tapestodiane]

_{[Even if he only just discovered it he's likely to start playing it too much as well. Now when he finally found something reliable to keep his mind from working over-time.]}

On medium difficulty-- _{[Checks score]} 472 seconds, but that was a bit of a lucky streak.

[Video]

[junebugfuji.livejournal.com]

I was never all that great at it, but I agree. I loved the game. I was much better at Doctor Mario.

[ A pause, then a bright grin because incidentally-- ] I didn't know they sold them here! I'll have to get one!

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

Doctor Mario?

_{[Interested headtilt. And that grin gives her a mirrored one!]} You should already have a few games in your Gear.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Have you tried Kanto Discovery Trail yet?

[video]

[tapestodiane]

No, not yet. But I got the rundown on it. You a fan?

video

[chemistryinmotion]

[Just so Coop can see Wally's smug grin.]

Not to brag or anything, but I'm kind of a Tetris master.

video

[tapestodiane]

_{[Oh yeah, he sees that grin. He matches it with a smile that looks a little questioning - but not in a riiiight-kind of way.]}

You played long?

audio

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I think Tetris is a good way to pass the time on long flights, aru. Especially when I have no papers, or documents, that I have to look over.

audio

[tapestodiane]

I can see why. It definitely knocks the time around.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[Dun dun. ... Dun dun. .... dun dun dun dun dun dun dun--]}

HEY COOPER whatcha doin'?

<sub>[This is the sound of a teenager popping up behind the bench, possibly right at a crucial moment in the game. Like when the illustrious final needed piece floats down.]

[Aren't you glad that little late-night ice cream party apparently made Heather comfortable enough around you to show up in person and annoy you? Aren't you just so glad?]</sub>

[Action]

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[Oh but he IS glad! Totally! Except her timing sucks incredibly. Her plopping down not only startled him but also awoke the Eevee, who stretches up much like a cat, bumping into the 'gear and disrupting the game even further.]

[So he could have saved the game after the initial wrongly-flailed-placed piece, but when Emily climbs over his knee in order to investigate Heather's fingers he gives up and just tilts the screen the girl's way, looking a mix of slightly annoyed, amused, oh-well and look-at-what-you-did.]</sub>

Playing Tetris.

_{[He WAS, that is. Good job Heather. Good job.]}
