Poll: Favorite Tetris Block?

[ShotgunShaman]

Sorry for yet another poll thread, but I just HAVE to know: What's your favorite tetromino? The powerful, straight block? The humble staircase? Or another one of the thrilling characters in this timeless story?

PS: For those that don't know: Tetromino: (te′trä·mə·n&#333 (mathematics) One of the five plane figures that can be formed by joining four unit squares along their sides.

Today it's a straight line - Crazy Awesome Calendar says December 8th is "Overcompensation day".

I'm a fan of the middle finger myself. While it can only take out 2 lines tops, it can work in nearly any situation, and get itself and you out of any predicament.

I always enjoy the I block. S and Z can go burn in a fiery pit of my wrath, though.

 

[Kenshuku]

The Square. Nobody ever knows what to do with it...

 

[internetzealot1]

Straight block, baby.

 

[cambodiancam]

Ahh good 'ol Mr. Slammer he always fits where I need him too. Looking back at what I wrote it's very innuendos.

I went for "The middle finger", though it's actually more of a tie between him and the slammer. I like straight 'n simple forums in a mathematical puzzle game - weird serpentlike shapes just make the job harder to accomplish.

oh DAMN i voted for the wrong one! i voted middle finger and i meant the slammer! i always think of it as a big middle finger, because you spend so much time building up all but one column and wasting lots of pieces, then you see that straight line come thru and it's like giving the game a big middle finger and saying 'fuck you!' as you knock out a 4-line tetris.

this, btw, best poll EVAR

Haha I was worried that the names might throw people off.

It's all about the versatility of the middle finger.

I like the T block which kind of looks like this
_______

----|__|----
I know it's hard to distinguish, but I'm not sure what it is called. (the dashes don't count)

 

[Alfador_VII]

L-block!

 

[DeliciousTruffle]

I like the long block that has saved my tetris-addicted ass from certain doom many times.

MY BLOCK IS BETTER! YOU CAN'T WIN!!

 

[copycatalyst]

Middle-finger for versatility.

No one has voted for the offset-left block? Poor guy, he can't help that he was built that way.

I love the names, by the way, but wouldn't El Capitan have worked even better?

 

[FalloutJack]

I like the middle finger, in of the fact that you decided to call it that.

 

[Hippobatman]

Slammer, taking out four rows (in a row) is awesome.

 

[Icecoldcynic]

L-block. I don't know why but i always seem to be so good at placing those badboys.
