Logically, it would make sense that there would be a shortage and eventual end to ‘max-out’ scores being reached. The annual Tetris Tournaments and release of the documentary ‘Ecstasy of Order’ have help to revive the slowly diminishing Tetris community. It appears that in the past year or so, veterans and newbies alike have both reached victories and successes in the game. Whether that’s a ‘max-out’ or a new personal best, the Tetris community is continually shifting and evolving as the competition gets larger and much fiercer.

A ‘max-out’ has been reached by yet another individual. This particular individual has placed within the top eight at the Tetris World Championships both this year and last. His scores have seemed vary significantly since his introduction into the Tetris community; eventually climbing the ranks and becoming one of the best.

Joshua Tolles, became victorious today when his score flipped and shone the bright blue screen with white letters… 999,999. He immediately erupts with (vulgar) celebration.

"I am never, EVER playing NES Tetris again."
A statement they all seem to say, but never follow.
