   Just a holding page?

   And here I was, hoping that we would be the blocks, looking down the well.

   And no, I don't really know how that would work.

     Exactly what I was expecting.

     Btw, First Person Light Cycle would be pretty cool ^H^H^H nausea inducing.

       The Unix/Linux/X Window System game ArmageTron basically does that. You have at least two views you can choose from: Inside the cycle/first person, and outside the cycle.

         I didn't realize it had multiple views. Time for some procrastination, thanks.

     It would probably look something like this: http://www.3dtris.de/

       I love this. I had a game like that - except much more customizable - on my old DOS computer, and I loved it.

     That would be Block-Out, 1989.

       Obligatory jwz-fanboy gruntle link.

       Thanks to the Internet Cultural Video Archive, it can now be seen in action.

       Ah the memories.

       But still, it's not first person from the block's perspective. Which would be a tad insane. Rotate twice and you are looking up, away from the important stuff. Hit "drop" and you pluuuuunge away.

       Also, what would you see looking up?

         The Tetris God, clearly.

           Up the toga of Tetrises, Lord of the Blocks!

             Do you want a view of his line piece?

   I'm dizzy now.

   Some kind of DNS issue going on... For me it's just "Has been registered by JustHost.com" or somesuch - as with lovingboth I presume.

   It would be great, except that only a FOOL would have space not be drop.

   • nidea says:

     ^this.

     My head hurts now. That's one game I won't get addicted to at least.

   • lafinjack says:

     Only a fool would use drop in this version.

   • jwz says:

     I did find that troubling.

   Now I'll never get any work done.

   that's really neat...though after two levels it becomes rather painful.
