It's entertaining, but it's pretty bourgeois.

I know all the words to this song because for a while it was perpetually stuck in my head for several weeks. It's very clever and the video imo.

Whats ironic is that while Nintendo made millions off this game the guy who designed it in the first place still lives in a bedsit in Moscow living off boiled cabbage.

This is in no way a complete history of the USSR. There was absolutely no mention of the civil war, and followed a typical sort of western narrative of Soviet history. People who don't know history shouldn't make videos like this.

It's not meant to be a concise and accurate history lesson, it's just a song and music video where they've used the Tetris music - an old Russian folk song - to make a song about the USSR.

i'm aware that the basis for the tetris theme is a russian folk song, and i really like the song.

i just don't like the fact that its called "a complete history of the Soviet Union" and it completely omits the most defining and important period of said history. its mildly entertaining but nevertheless misleading. i don't think im being too harsh here.

Yeah if you look at the guy's other songs they're pretty lulzy

I think you mean it's petty bourgeois.

this thread is so 2010...

[Metacomet]

Lol, I just found it.

Thought it was funny.

Kinda makes me want to go find a gameboy and play tetris.

:p:sleep:

I've seen enough of this nostalgic hipster jackassery to be completely sick of it. But of course you lot would be more interested in this than the actual culture of the USSR and other socialist societies.

[mykittyhasaboner]

Thank you.
