    We have two Switches in the house. The kids love it. Game portability is a big plus. Either take the little screen around like a big gaming tablet, or just take the whole dock and plug it in to any big TV monitor you can find. Kids were playing Dark Souls on the airbnb TV within ten minutes of our arrival in Rome in November.

    I know you’re a man of letters and I’m not @BearsWiin but seriously, we might have to revoke your membership in the higher lever history discussion bored for playing video games in Rome.

    I had your back on the Tetris thing, @BearsWiin - you're on your own with the video game in Rome deal. I got nothin'.

    I mean it's a great way to get the kids to shut the fuck up for 30 mins and get out of your face

    I’m more of a PlayStation guy myself. I just think it has better games.

    Be a grownup and game on PC.

    But, yeah, I owe a lot of carpal tunnel to OG Tetris. Think I got to level 28 once, starting on level 9 and getting nothing but tetrises (tetri?) until at least level 14. Can't remember the final score, but it was up there. Routine was: Warm up for five or six games on level 19 (if you hold the A button down while choosing a level, it adds 10), then drop it back to level 9 for the final points attempt. You get maximum points by starting on about level 9, as you get 100 lines on the first level you start on and fewer on every subsequent level. Since points per line go up as the levels go up, you want those first 100 lines to be on a high-scoring level, but not so high that you can't tetris all 100.

    CSB.
