      Well, with various scandals in the past over high scores and such, it’s probably valid. Unless he posts the full video, and can prove that it wasn’t done with an emulator, which can be hacked easily, then I think the skepticism is going to be there.

        I mean, the full video was streamed and posted it looked like.

          That’s cool. All I saw was some clips where he is playing and then it switches level and locks up. I am glad for him.

            There is no “end” to tetris. It just gets harder until it’s (allegedly) impossible to keep up. In games like that, the “end” is called a kill screen. Basically some numbers get higher than the programmers ever expected and the game just crashes.

              I appreciate the explanation. I was just concerned that the kid hadn’t recorded his entire play session in order to keep naysayers at bay. There have been plenty of scandals in the high score arena, people using emulators instead of actual boards, etc.
