I also want a world record, imagine having your name in a history book
most us can't comprehend how impressive this actually is
I think she's stupid because if he hadn't won, he wouldn't have been a guest on her show
NBC coverage is more respectful, professional and informative than skynews boomer anchors
Good for him! I couldn’t make it past level 20! Those bricks just came down way too fast for my fingers!
I clocked tetris on Amiga 1989.
Noway! l did that in winter of 1992 when l was 24 years old, sure a lots people reach the top, l don't think it's big deal, so nobody reported it.
See, Sky News? It not so hard to have an uplifting story about a kid beating Tetris to be a feel good story.😆
Is it weird that I'm a 44-year old who has gamed his whole life, and still does regularly, I'm a dad, my kids play games, and I cried when I watched his video of him doing it?
1:10 What is this Console? This looks like a Bootleg.🤨
We'll need him to help defeat the AI robots when they rise up.
I never thought I would see this day…
Incredible. He reminds me of myself when I was his age.
cheater and tetris effect is better without bugs and 4K graphics.
This kid wrote gaming history. He made the impossible possible. He made new and old gamers proud and even though he sadly lost his father, I am sure he also would be proud of him. And yes: This might not be a big achievement in the revolution of the world, but surely it is in the gaming world.
Kid deserves the legendary status, Tetris ain’t no joke.
50+ yr old gamer…. Good Job young man! Keep this energy up and you will go far in life.
Right on kid 💯 legend
That's dedication, now what's he have to do? That sounds as tho it's a life long accomplishment.
Gotta go touch some grass after that
Respect! I only last for like 30 seconds in Tetris!
Cool. Now get out to get some fresh air, kid.
Who cares???
He will be remembered for a long time😮
Truly a gamer moment
Bro made history
Congrats to this lad
Why do they all play it on an NES?
🫡
Wooo!
I'll give it to you NBC news, you reported it better than certain "mom" with probably marriage problems and delusional conservative education trying to measure herself up on a literal child anchor from certain new's.
Absolute waste of space that woman. And any news reporter can easily make another report pointing and laughing at her since it's out there in the public now.
Fresh meat to dig into.
coo,
He deserves all the best. Kid just lost his father 3 weeks ago. Your dad would be so proud of you kiddo for sure. Well done! xx
This is how you report about this impressive feat. Some other "News-channels" should watch and learn.
I hope his Mother is crazy proud of him
Wow! Is this what good reporting looks like?
Someone should educate sky news after they bullied the kid and belittled his achievement.
Proud of this dude
what a lovely story. Good job covering thai
Fractal shortly after became the second to complete this! Fractal is also a legend so please check him out.
This is literally like the moonlanding of video games
Billy Mitchell is consulting his lawyers on how he can sue this kid as we speak.
I don't know if I should applaud them for being one of the few mainstream news channels that covered this story appropriately or feel conflicted that Fractal and PixelAndy, who also got the crash a few days ago, were not even mentioned by name.
o7 we're all proud of ya.
