Haha, the Russian fan girl was hoot. By referencing Funcoland, I take you you have decided to set Talking Classics in the Past? If that's the case, then why did Keith find Tetris among PS3 games? Maybe he just thinks it's still the mid-90s?

Oh and In the middle of the video you had a version of Tetris I've never seen before for Gameboy. is that the 1.0 version that originally came with Tetris or is it the Russian or Japanese release?

I like to make it take place in the past but it's hard to pull off sometimes. If this was a TV show it would be flawlessly set in 89-90. And I think it's the 1.0 version of Tetris.

Rocky went to Russia to fight Ivan Drago, you could have done rocky punch out theme. Talking classic Tetris is a great episode. The Gameboy bed scene was so funny.

Awesome. Was the driver next to the bus in on it, or were you making Americans look bad? :lol:

I thought it was more like Kieth is so out of touch with reality that he either forgets they are now gamestops, or refuses to call them gamestop. It sounds like a better explanation, but it is your show after all.

Funny that Keith decides to go to the birthplace of Tetris, and meets up with a wannabe Russian bride!

I did post a link from GamePro, when they interviewed the father of Tetris.

Good laughs :lol:
