orz’s Tetris videos

orz (a.k.a. orztetris on Youtube) makes videos to help people learn how to play Tetris better. It’s as simple as that.

The older a game gets, if it remains popular for all that time like Tetris has, the more people obsess over it. And if it’s a truly deep and challenging game, like Tetris is, there’s a lot to obsess over. So the nature of being “good” at Tetris has changed, and it’s the true obsessives who now push the frontiers of Tetris strategy, which is too bad for us casuals.

Here’s a longer video (24 minutes) on opening theory (I don’t know why an anime girl is in the title card):
