I should not need to explain this one.

TIL Tetris is from USSR. Aswell as that the pieces in it are called tetrominos.
Did you never play with sound?
Response: What do mean? It plays the Tetris theme.
The first version I played was the Commodore 64 version by Mirrorsoft, which actually didn't use the Russian imagery.
The soundtrack was an epic 25 minute synth prog metal odyssey.
Commodore 64 is a very cool computer.
Girl on date: "So, what sort of music do you like?"
Me: "it's... Complicated."
Dude this shit rules, thanks for informing me!
That's the ussrs anthem.
it's not the anthem, it's a popular folk song ;)

And here I thought I'd be fine not adding "/s"
