Episode 002 :: Tetris Rap Attack!

Back in December, we started our Tetris Rap Attack competition, and now we reveal the winners!! We’re joined on the show by our rapping judge, Astronautalis, and discuss the origins of the lyrics he laid on the winning beat as well as how a true American gamer feels towards Tetris Attack!

love the show. Just started listening a few weeks before the end of season 2 via nuklearpower…
Anyway, just thought I’d let you guys know your link to “(Gotta) Beat That Block (TheHT) :: Masurao” is broken.
Looks like Ante Up is a broken link too…
This was extremely fun to do. I saw it, and thought to contribute. One issue though, you spelled my name wrong everytime, and the link to my track doesnt work. Its “killsaly”, not “killsally.” it is pronounced Kill Sally, but it isnt meant that i want to kill someone named Sally, its killsaly, a fake gaelic word i kind of made up. Sorry to waste your comment section with this, but it is a pet peeve of mine, though it happens to much to really care.
@killsaly
Thanks so much for your tack, dude, and apologies for the misspellings. Right you are to correct us and I’ve fixed our f-up on your name as well as the broke-broke links. <3
@Michael
Thanks for listening, dude. Glad you like what you hear. All the links should work now. It appears that he Team Teamwork page has gone down or something, that link is still broken. Maybe if it goes up again then the link will magically work. Time will tell. In the meantime- stay strong brethren.
@Cap
Apparently they had a copyright infringement claim filed against them and they took everything down off bandcamp (story via Wired.com)
thanks! I appreciate it. Ate ja!
@Michael
Yikes! That’s too bad.
Great contest, guys. Been listening since beginning of season 2, and I really enjoy your stuff. Look forward to every show.
Also, sound is MUCH better this episode.
Man, I need to learn to conserve these podcasts. Big snowstorm is supposed to happen around me this weekend, and I should’ve saved listening to this for when I’m snowed in.
Anyways, great episode guys. Can’t wait for more.
I’ve got another Tetris Attack challenge for you guys. Don’t know what the prize will be but if someone does it I’ll be massively grateful.
Mashup any track from the game with Major Lazer’s “Pon De Floor” to create “Panel De Pon De Floor” GET IT!?!
It would be fucking awesome. We could make a Yoshi’s Island-style parody of Eric Wareheim’s video for it. It’s perfect! Yoshi’s Island, Jamaican “digging” dancing = ultimate island party.
Yeah so my girlfriend left me cause I said I was going to name my kid after chair. but whatever she was a looser anyway. GO NERD TEAM GO!
Awww man.. I can’t believe you missed it cap! About your penis…. it sounds like it has a GUI. A Dick GUI? Or a GUI dick?
I think you guys should be aware that the Russians did not use pencils in space. If you think about all the sharpenings coming off a pencil when you sharpen it then you can imagine the problems that would cause inside a space shuttle. Also it occurs to me that I got more scientific news from you guys in the last 2 pod-casts than I did the rest of this year, dear god…
