Tetris? Completed it mate… 😏
On Sunday, a US teenager became the *first ever human* to complete the final level (level 255) of the classic video game.
Michael Artiaga, known by his followers as "Dog", achieved the "rebirth" while livestreaming himself on Twitch.
And the craziest part?
It took him 82 minutes to achieve something nobody else has managed to do in the 40 years (or 14,735 days) since the game was invented 🤯
Not that this is the first Tetris record he's broken…
In 2020, Michael became the youngest ever world champion at the age of 13 after beating his older brother in the Classic Tetris World Championship final.
For all the amazing emerging technologies set to transform how we experience games (I'm thinking AI 🧠, immersive 😎, web3 🕸️, robotics 🤖…) this goes to show that gaming isn't really about the tech at all.
Instead, it's about the thrill of the unknown… overcoming the odds… balancing risk and reward… sharing meaningful experiences with others… pushing you to your limits… emerging victorious from battling the machines… 💪
That being said, emerging technologies will empower us to do all these things in new and incredible ways.
Lots of my time is spent showcasing the potential of these technologies to do just this, exploring where the main challenges and opportunities lie, and bringing together the right people from across the UK's tech sector to make this happen.
