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

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.

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.

Oldskool shaving

By Kolb

Al right, every man has to shave himself once in a while. While you can shave yourself with a manual razor or an electric razor, the feeling afterwards of doing it by hand feels so much better. That's why I'm going the oldskool way.

O.J. Simpson pursuit

By Kolb

It was 1994 when millions of Americans watched the O.J. Simpson pursuit. Every TV-channel in the country broadcasted the pursuit with live coverage. Even the NBA championship game between the Knicks and the Houston Rockets was interrupted to air the pursuit.

Approximately 150 million people worldwide watched the slow-speed chase on TV.
What makes this so special is O.J. Simpson was on the verge of committing suicide.
