Tetris - From Russia With Fun
By Kolb
Tetris is the best puzzle game in the world. It has been said by many because it's true.
The Tetris history is quite complicated if you look into it in detail. But here is a timeline.
- 1985: Alexey Pazhitnov creates Tetris in Moscow, while working for a government organization.
- 1988: Tetris is the best selling computer game in the USA and the UK.
- 1989: Nintendo buys the exclusive console rights. Tetris is bundled with the new Game Boy system. An instant hit.
- 2006: I'm still playing it.

Crip Walk
By Kolb
One of the greatest dance moves in the streets is - not the moonwalk, kiddie - but the crip walk. Originated originally in the Compton Ghetto, early '80s, as a ritual to the Crips gang. And I want you to have some knowledge of it. Because, damn, this is repcred.

Zig-Zag
By Kolb
Let’s talk a bit about the smoking culture. Zig-Zag papers, in the USA, are the equivalent to Rizla and Smoking in Europe. Big names in the tobacco and smoking world.

Reefer Madness
By Kolb
Reefer Madness basically is pure propaganda. It's a 1936 movie financed by a small church group (and according to some sources, the US government). In Reefer Madness they want to warn the American public about the dangers of marijuana use.
This image is a poster promoting the movie. It's quite hilarious. The same goes for the movie. Missing it's original point completely.

The A-Team
By Kolb
"In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team."

N.W.A - Real Hip Hop
By Kolb
Formed in 1986 in Compton, California, one of the first hip hop groups to define a new lifestyle was N.W.A. (Niggaz With Attitude). They marked the era of gangsta rap. This was real, not some fake-ass 50 Cent rapping about his bitches and his 69 cars. No, this was the word from the streets.

Thank you Zippo
By Kolb
Wonderful, yesterday I received a package in the mail. At first sight I didn’t knew what it was but after shaking with it and hearing a metallic sound. I knew it was my Zippo, which was in repair at the Zippo clinic.
