Tetris 99 (Day 3372 - 2/17/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3371) | Next Vlog (Day 3373)

The vlog starts out with Stephen talking about how he didn't expect to like Tetris 99 as much as he did as he only played it a few times. He said that it is a classic game with a new spin. Stephen says that Super Smash Bros: Ultimate is great game, but sometimes he wants to switch it up and play something different. He says that Tetris 99 games can be played pretty quickly and that it makes a different part of your mind think. Stephen then turns the camera and says that Mallory is also his competition in Tetris 99. He said that when he found out that Mal did better than him, he had to keep playing because he had to beat her.

Stephen then mentions that a lot of people have been calling Tetris 99, "Tetris Battle Royale". He said that this game was released recently during the Nintendo Direct where Nintendo said that Tetris 99 was available for free for people who used the Nintendo Switch online service. Stephen said that he and Mal thought it was interesting and decided to download it and try it. However, they didn't expect that they would even play it. Stephen says that he feels like he works harder playing the game because there is some adrenaline in his brain that tells him that he is playing against real players, so he has to beat them. He then says that he also has to beat Mal. Stephen says that Mal got to 4th place while he only got to 5th place.

Stephen then describes the game. He says that the game consists of 99 people playing Tetris at once and you can target different people to send garbage blocks to by clearing blocks faster than everyone else and be the last one surviving. Stephen said that he played the game more than he thought he would. He said that eventually he got 3rd place. Stephen then asks Mal to repeat what the highest place she got in the game. Mal replies with "4th place" and Stephen then broadly grins. Stephen says that neither of them have gotten 1st place though. He said that he talked to Thomas the other night and Thomas said that he had gotten 1st place before. Stephen says that he also likes classic Tetris. He says that every match in Tetris 99 is different compared to playing against a computer which is very formulaic. Stephen says that sometimes he has matches where he doesn't get a lot of garbage blocks and other times he has matches where he gets a lot of garbage blocks within a few seconds. He also says that you can change who you target in the game like targeting the player who has most badges, the player who is attacking you, or a random player.

Kit Kat Flavor Tried: Sublime White Kit Kat

Stephen says that the Sublime White Kit Kat tastes like the regular White Chocolate Kit Kat, but with a noticeably higher quality chocolate. He also says that it is smooth. Stephen then said that there is not a whole lot to say about white chocolate and says "it's good, that's it."

Stephen then asks Mal if she can get higher than 3rd place. Mal challenges Stephen and says that whoever gets 1st place first is the true winner. Stephen says that they would have to look at the number of games played and calculate a ratio since if one person played more than it wouldn't be fair. Mal then says that Stephen has played more games than she has. Stephen and Mal then argue back and forth with Mal saying that Stephen has played more games and Stephen saying that she doesn't know that for sure. Stephen then finally concedes and says that it might be true that he has played more games than Mal.
