Coffee Break from Russia with Fun

Being a writer and an enthusiast of videogames, it should come as no surprise that I love language just as much as I love pulling out spines in Mortal Kombat. Rarely do those two passions intersect in so interesting and amusing a way as they do over at Jason Killingsworth’s blog post on Tetris, in which he details the jargon he and his brother developed in their youth while playing marathon sessions of the NES version of the game.

Did you ever do something similar with your brothers, sisters or friends?
