I write about video games for a living, and I've heard everything there is to say about how something may or may not be a giant waste of time. On the other hand, there is nothing I find more fascinating than tiny things in life that most people don't care about, but obsess others. Take, for instance, Tetris. It's a very popular game that almost all of us have played at some point or another, but an upcoming documentary shows just how serious some take the game.

Take a look at the trailer.

From the film's official site:

This is the official trailer for Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters, a feature length documentary capturing the greatest world record Tetris players as they prepare for the Classic Tetris World Championship. From the days of Thor Aackerlund and his historic victory at the 1990 Nintendo World Championships, right up to the present and Harry Hong's perfect "Max-Out" score, this documentary expertly chronicles over two decades of Tetris Mastery.

Tetris is a game about creating order from chaos, and that's a powerfully addictive action. We'll be covering this film and the people in it in more detail soon, but for now... wow. I had no idea this community existed.
