0:31
insider's cheap code to gaming. It's
0:33
not often you get to speak
0:35
to an icon, and Hank Rogers
0:37
is just that. You might know
0:39
the name from the Tetris movie
0:41
that came out around last year,
0:43
because he's the man who brought
0:45
it over from Russia, to your
0:47
game boy at first, and then
0:49
everything else. So when I first
0:51
saw Tetris, I was actually a
0:53
developer and a publisher in Japan
0:55
of computer games. And I found
0:57
Tetris at the Consumer Electronics Show
0:59
in Las Vegas. So I brought it
1:02
to Japan first, and then Nintendo was
1:04
coming out with Game Boy. So I
1:06
said, wow, Tetris is the perfect game
1:08
for Game Boy. And nobody had those
1:10
rights. So I got on a plane,
1:12
went to the Soviet Union, and to
1:14
find whoever had the rights. And it
1:16
was a combination of a government ministry,
1:18
a look tronorg technica, and Alexei Pajnov,
1:20
the creator of the game. And now
1:23
he has a book to set the
1:25
record straight on everything he is doing
1:27
and has done running the Tetris Company.
1:29
The movie is Hollywood. It's a movie
1:31
movie movie. And so I decided that I
1:33
needed to set the record straight, not only
1:35
for my... my children and my grandchildren, but
1:38
for my friends and for my fans. So
1:40
I wrote the book of what actually happened
1:42
during that time of the movie, and then
1:44
I found out that, yeah, be a book,
1:47
but I need to make it a little
1:49
bit bigger. So I added the before and
1:51
after, so it's actually the story of my
1:53
game career. We asked him how he feels
1:56
about the success of the puzzle game and
1:58
how he feels that some players have officially
2:00
beaten the game that took the world
2:02
over some 30 odd years ago. That
2:05
whole crowd of young people, of kids,
2:07
whatever you want to call them. work
2:09
really hard to get to that kill
2:11
screen. Now, what's the kill screen? They
2:13
used AI to figure out that at
2:16
level, I think it's 157, if you
2:18
clear a single line, the program crashes.
2:20
Of course, it's not part of the
2:22
game design, but the fact that they
2:25
were able to discover this and then
2:27
actually work towards being able to achieve
2:29
this is incredible. At Sierra,
2:31
discover great deals on top-round
2:34
workout gear, like high-quality walking
2:36
shoes. Which might lead to
2:38
another discovery. Forty thousand steps,
2:41
baby. Who's on top now,
2:43
Karen? You've taken the office step
2:45
challenge, a step too far. Don't
2:47
worry, though. Sierra also has yoga
2:49
gear. It might be a good
2:51
place to find your sin. Discover
2:54
Top Brands at unexpectedly low prices.
2:56
Sierra, let's get moving. And
2:58
how he felt about Taran Egerton.
3:01
He was just an exciting person
3:03
to living a year and a
3:05
half of my life in a
3:08
space of two hours. So what
3:10
did he get wrong? He worked
3:13
cowboy boots. Taking on his name
3:15
in the film. The movie makes
3:17
me into somebody who's sneaking into
3:20
Nintendo to meet accidentally meet Yamauchi
3:22
in the hallways. That is not
3:24
how Nintendo works. Nobody gets sneaks
3:27
into Nintendo. Roger's is also a
3:29
giant environmentalist. When I had my near-death
3:31
experience in the form of 100% blockage
3:33
of the widow maker, which kills 95%
3:35
of the people that it happens to,
3:38
I in the ambulance said, no I'm
3:40
not going I still have stuff to
3:42
do. And when I was in the
3:44
recovery room in the newspaper it said,
3:46
oh by the way we're going to
3:49
kill all the coral in the world
3:51
by the end of the century. And
3:53
I said, no we're not. What's causing
3:55
that? It's ocean acidification which is caused
3:57
by carbon dioxide which is caused by us.
3:59
the blue planet to end the use
4:02
of carbon-based fuel. The perfect game,
4:04
Tetris, from Russia with love, is
4:06
available now wherever you buy books.
4:08
Tetris the game, is available on
4:10
almost anything you want to play
4:12
