Tetris – Alxala's World of Hamsters and Video Games

Swap ’em up and Drop ’em down

April 18, 2019 by Alxala

Today was a nice sunny day. Earlier this afternoon I was playing a Roku game on the TV known as Color Swap ‘n Drop. It’s a Tetris-based game where the objective is to line up 3 or more colored squares either in a vertically, horizontally and diagonally pattern while swapping and dropping random multicolored blocks. And the game will end when the stacks of blocks reach all way to the top. I’ve been sitting on the couch in the living room playing that game for about two and a half hours, and I successfully managed to get a new high score of 3200 points. I felt so amazed when I got a huge score like that. 😀

Oh, and what I like about the game is that it has the Top 5 high score leader board, which I find that quite interesting:

I gotta admit, this is one of my best Roku games of all time. 🙂

Evening Open Thread

I was playing games on the Roku because I was bored. I played a couple of games like Tetris and Color Swap ‘n Drop for about an hour and a half, and I sure had a lot of fun. 🙂 Then I went to Hulu to watch my favorite TV shows like The Good Place and Superstore. Here’s what the two shows look like:

The Good Place is a fantasy comedy about a woman who is in a utopia called “The Good Place” after she got struck and killed by a tractor-trailer. I like how the actors and actresses use fake curse words like shirt instead of shit, fork instead of fuck, etc. 😛

And Superstore is a single-camera sitcom TV show about a group of workers who are working at a big-box store called “Cloud 9”.

This female assistant store manager is named Dina Fox, and she is tough as nails. I like her because she’s the strongest female character in the show, and I also like how she uses her phrases like “Shut up, Sandra!”, “Elias! That’s not how you use the ladder, you mother[bleep]ing turd!”, etc. 😛

So yeah, things are going well today. 😉
