Colorful Ceramic Pots, Inspired by Tetris

GeekSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:42:57 -0700

During a ceramics course in the Estonian Academy of Arts, French product designer Stéphanie Choplin decided to get creative with Tetris shapes and came up with these 3D Ceramic Tetris Pots. It's such a shame that these beautiful indoor or outdoor home accents haven't made it to retail outlets just yet, because I could see them being a hit with both geeks and nongeeks. As you can see, they make the perfect planters, and if you're not the green type, I think it's safe to say they'd double as decent chips, salsa, guac, and sour cream bowls!

The Tetris Bracelet Is For the Disco Geek

GeekSugar — Sat, 09 May 2009 10:04:33 -0700

So this geeky bracelet is not Hermès. It's also not $567.

Instead, this Tetris Bracelet ($70) is pretty cool and while exceptionally geeky, it's not unwearable.

Maybe it's the disco lover in me, but lucite jewelry always manages to charm me. All I need is the perfect outfit of primary colors to wear it with.

Tetris Ice Cube Trays: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:15:36 -0800

My first thought when I saw these Tetris ice cube trays was - do I have glasses big enough to play Tetris with my ice cubes? Dubbed Tetrice by Martin Zampach, these are a little more fleshed out than the Instructables version that yumsugar featured, but it's only a concept for now. Lets see, you could play a really freaking cold and low-tech version of the game, or pop 'em in a pitcher of drinks for your geeky guests, but I don't know that I'd buy these when I know I can make them. What do you think?

Tetris Quilt: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 14:00:57 -0700

I seriously thought that the Tetris wedding cake took Tetris love to a whole new level, but after spotting this Tetris quilt, I'm beginning to sense a Tetris-obsession trend. Amy, the geek-chic mastermind behind this creation, credits the game pattern to her boyfriend Steve, who is quite the avid gamer himself. Gotta love how she can literally wrap herself in her own geeky creation. Now if only she had a picture of herself in her Tetris quilt while playing Tetris! What do you think? Do you love it or not so much?

Ask anyone what their favorite vintage arcade game is and 9 out of 10 will mention Tetris. Okay, so maybe I made that stat up, but a quick poll of all the Sugar girls tells me everyone hearts Tetris and the game did come in third place in IGN's 2005 100 Greatest Videogames Of All Time list.

Moment of Geek: Students Create Giant Tetris Game

GeekSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:00:31 -0700

In need of an early weekend lift? A pack of Russian students created a life sized Tetris game by running through a huge building and playing with the lights. I kind of hope this video involves an editing trick or two. If not, that means someone spent a long time planning it out. It's almost as fun as the time Homer used his supreme Tetris skills to pack his car. Almost.
