What is Digg?85 Comments
- SamKellett, on 10/12/2007, -1/+53Oh but it is using windows (think literally)....
- MattLat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33Man, whoever was playing that was really bad at tetris
- Ralphy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18well, I would imagine it was hard... it looked really confusing what piece you had...
- energyblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I would love to see Space Invaders on that bad boy!
- agdtinman, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20I remember seeing this about 4 years ago. Pretty cool
- MattLat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12There's an extra row on the left that he hadn't completed. Maybe he was waiting for a big long piece so he could get a tetris or something.
- m85476585, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9It looks hard to play. The lights fade too slowly and there is no preview to tell you what piece is next.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Now, what they need to do is commercialize this. I want to buy one for my house.
- SoulMaster2, on 10/12/2007, -11/+18Give it a ***** rest
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Not _yet_
- ebloc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7"I want to buy one for my house."
Do you have enough windows for it to not suck? - brianmuse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Yes, it is Brown and it would have been nice if the blog authors had given that credit where it was deserved.
- modian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6direct youtube: http://www.youtube.com/v/Zq5vXqrIwjE
- griz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Russian Techno always plays in my head, makes every video like this more interesting.
- Tsu2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I like the blinkenlights project better.
http://www.blinkenlights.de/ - tempusrob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5They do in the later half of the video...
- djgump35, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I would sit outside and watch that for a while
- nahdan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4this video IS the one at brown.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Beautiful. What ruined it for me was the first comment on it:
"FallOutBoy
THIS IS TRULY AMAZING!!"
Anyone with a nick as FallOutBoy commenting as such, ruins anything related to the comment.
Great video otherwise though, I can't imagine what a spectacular light show it was for those inside the building. - Darrelc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Enlighten me as how somebody's nickname affects the quality of their comments?
- bairy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you're looking for a use out of everything, you probably shouldn't be reading digg.
It's geeky and cool. Who cares if it's practical. - otaking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's been removed...people were distracted on the highway ;p
- cyberghost232, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i like the nintendo ds commercial with all the sky divers better.
- DjDimitrious, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Wrong. That's the Brown University library, i'd know, i went there!
- PhantomBantam, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5401 baby.
That's the second front page story featuring that building in a week. (the first being "ri to become first wireless state")
steve woz was there
http://www.macobserver.com/news/00/april/000425/wozontetris.shtml - richardiscool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2***** hell, how did you manage to find all those ugly people?
- catullus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yes, i seem to remember from the tour that it's some sort of Science library?
- freshcreation, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here's the original message including a short view of the largest Tetris game
(the one in the video at Techeblog is the SECOND largest):

- Arkitan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I play tetris on my DS every day, its one of the best game ever made.
- NeoNevermore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This. Is. Awesome.
- boredzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The reason being the low frame rate. Note to self: Don't try and play Tetris by a webcam.
I bet if you were watching it in person, it would be much more playable. - Technopundit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Problem is, if one of those christmas lights burn out, the whole damn thing goes dark ;-)
- echosierratwo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Didn't WOZ play with this somes years ago?
- mmcvey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'll stick with good ol' Tetris Max, thank you very much.
- Ashex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now imagine a bunch of drunk people watching it from the distance.
- stylesP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah pong rules :)
and they can do it with one lamp per window - Darrelc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+319£ Says that Jayrod typed that on IE/Firefox on windows XP.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3hell...was your comment written by a random word generator?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I want a Head to Head 2 player version. Maybe at the Petronas Towers.
- Flanker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@drinkingbuddy: sounds like someone got rejected from Brown.
- billflu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, this is fairly old.
- JamesGlover, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Dance of the sugar plum fairy" was used in the NES version. The Gameboy version (Which is perhaps the most widely known port) used a Russian folk song called, "Korobeiniki." (Source: Wikipedia)
- Halfchair, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I played this back when I was in 8th grade... These days I live in Techhouse.
The Tetris theme was played by Brown's only Klezmer band, Yarmulkazi.

Woz did infact play, here's a picture of him in our workroom:

- Narpas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lucky. I've got crappy J-pop looping in my head. It makes very few things interesting.
- gsiener, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Woot! I lived across the street that year and heard the Klezmer band playing that theme song all the time. Good times.
- halipan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0OK, i think the idea fcuking cool but (i think) the game isn't working. How come no blocks disappear when it was suppose to?
- RIPtechtv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love tetris. It was the first game I got Xbox live. I played it online all the time. I believe I got my rank up to 3000 before people stopped playing it. This is a digg.
- ioudasomnis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nothing awesome liek that happens near me. Pac Man needs to be the next thing done. By done I mean "live action Pac Man".
