It's funny; I've always thought myself to be pretty good at tetris,
but when I tried playing those public-lobby elimination modes, I
get absolutely destroyed.

At least I'm still the top player in Mosaic Tetris ;-P

That said,  I check the tilde.town leaderboard for that every so
often, and it looks like people are getting better at the game,
so I might not be top dog for long.
