Back in college about 10 years ago, some friends and I dusted off the old Nintendo and fired up Dr. Mario. I was never very good at Tetris, but I grew up with Dr. Mario as a family favorite, so I knew I would be solid. I expected my roommate to excel at Dr. Mario - an opinion I formulated mostly by watching him outright dominate at Tetris. As it turned out he was the worst of us at Dr. Mario.
All this made a rather interesting study on the differences between spatial and color scheme pattern recognition, I thought. I have published a paper on it in the Harvard Journal of Medicinal Stuff. I'm also currently touring the country as a member of the semi-professional Dr. Mario exhibition league, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming Olympic qualifiers, where I am an assistant coach and offensive defensive coordinator.
And, Monsters, do not forget to specify, when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.
