The ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' equivalent of PlatformHell.
[[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard Blocks will appear, disappear, and slide around at random.]] Your moves will be punctuated by {{rimshot}}s, [[BlowingARaspberry raspberries]], and [[TheComputerShallTauntYou ridicule]]. ([[SarcasmMode "Oh my God, that's the best move I've ever seen!"]]) Need an "I" piece? Here, have a ''donut'' piece. And no matter how many times [[TheComputerIsALyingBastard the "Next Shape" window lies to you]], it's accurate enough that you'll have to keep watching it like a gullible hawk.
Surprisingly, this is not only playable but ''fun''. The trick is that clearing a certain number of rows opens up a new level with a (mostly) clean slate. The pressure to slam home as many pieces as you can before the playfield shifts--and maybe even cut off the announcer mid-taunt--gives the old FallingBlocks routine a different edge.
