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'm not sure what genre I'd label it as, but you control a snake who eats various foods that appear on the playing field. As it eats, it gets longer. Now the thing is that you can't keep it from moving - you can only control in which direction it does. If you end up steering it into a wall or its own body, the game is over.

I think I might've seen something like that before. I mean, it kind of sounds like Pac-Man, only instead of dodging ghosts you dodge tails and walls.

[ So basically the only similarity is eating. Well, close enough. ]

_{[... well that's not actually TOO bad for a similarity as far as games go. There are some snake courses with mazes in them, after all.]}

Something like that. _[beat] ... I haven't played Pacman for years.

[ ...He likes you. You make him feel validated. ]

Years? Pacman's one of my favorites. I even have it on my phone back home.

Your phone?

_{[A pause with a huge grin as he looks almost like he doesn't believe it for a moment.]}

Oh, man. I only remember it from the arcades.

[ladderpuns]

Yeah, it was one of the games I bought for it.

It's probably more fun to play it in an arcade, though.

I can't say I got the chance more than once or twice, but from what I recall it was a-okay.
