*Gasp*

Steven and I were watching this really great show on the history of video games on The Discovery Channel. They started talking about Tetris and I was literally shocked when Steven turned to me and said, "So, what are you supposed to do?" He has never heard of Tetris before tonight! How is that possible? How can you have never heard of it before now?

That is absolutely stunning... Actually, it really leaves me speechless. Has he heard of Space Invaders or Pong?

Yikes, I can't believe that. I thought everyone played with Atari's and stuff like that.

Oh wow, that's a riot!
PS - my boyfriend and I were watching tv and someone said something about "counting sheep" to get to sleep. He'd never heard of that before. I had the same reaction as you..it's like "where have you been?"

Wow. Even my Mom knows that game.

That's so funny, especially since that's the only game my Dad likes to play!

I swear, I think he lived in a cave before he met you. ;) *giggle*

Wow, that's pretty funny! I thought tetris was one of those staple things that everybody had on their computers, so they all played it! :)
