PIZZA TETRIS 

My disappointment in him not playing Pizza Tower is actually immeasurable. I don't want to be hyperbolic here, but I honestly would say my day is ruined.

During COVID I was one of zero people allowed to attend classes on campus, and I remember this one time I had a sub who saw me playing Tetris and she said I was pretty good at it. I then proceeded to fail miserably two seconds later and that interaction will forever live rent free in my head

The story mode has the same VA as shinji from Evangelion. Hearing shinji say "there's an imposter somewhere on this space ship" sent chills

The insane clickbait game

This is without a doubt one of the Alpharad Gold videos of all time. It has a thumbnail and it even has a title!, What more could you ask for?

I guess you could say they're making a pizza tower

Came for pizza tower, stayed for tetris

I love when jo said, "what's the set count 2-2?" When it was straight up like 5-2

I'mma be real if they both play puyopuyo mode after this even if it's the same game I'd count it as a different game

20:50 Jo hits the sickest double T spin i've ever seen

oh my god jo not having ghost blocks on is actually making me RAGE

to answer y’alls question about where i listen to gold videos, mostly i play games and listen if the game you guys are playing doesn’t rly require me to look at the screen the whole time like tetris, OR in my car to and from my campus. i think for me who doesn’t have many people to talk to in my daily life, just listening in and being “a part” of your convos while i drive helps with the loneliness a lot and keeps my mind off of it so i’m seriously grateful for that! so yeah that’s about it for listening for me personally, if it isn’t one of those two then i’m watching the video as normal! ^^

Honestly getting my ass beat and forcing myself to play faster in public lobbies in this game specifically is the most rewarding experience I've ever had in gaming. Because once you push yourself to consistently play that fast, once you slow down it's like you're actually in the matrix.

Jo is playing a much harder game by not having the drop shadows turned on

Playing Tetris Effect on here would be really cool! It’s got a lot of different modes, even a co-op mode, a singleplayer story mode, some weird modes to shake things up, and I think it’s fun to watch!

I personally watch these videos either as a podcast or just for content. Right now I'm laying in bed, sometimes it's while I eat, sometimes I'll play games as well, or even just during school between classes. Depends if I feel it or not. It's usually how I watch youtube in general though

We need one different version of Tetris every week for the rest of the year.

I never thought I'd see alpharad playing as raffina

I'm just rewinding after each game to see how they both played and it's endlessly fun to do.

30 seconds into the video and Jacob has already flown too close to the sun. Man's on world record pace

There was a 50/50 chance we actually got Pizza Tower, we all lost today

You're usually background noise while I'm just vibing. Playing video games, drawing, trying to sleep, whatever. Good company to have tbh.

I like how Alpha started throwing when he pretty much felt the tension in the air. A sign of best sport behavior.

Alpharad Deluxe + bed time went hand in hand for months

these videos are my go-to for "i want to mindlessly scroll social media but i don't want absolute silence in the background"

I wanna see Jo's reaction to the entirely of the 10:40 turn in how Alpha simultaneously screwed himself, got screwed, and made the most epic comeback known to man

they are absolutely going to reuse this thumbnail/title combo when they play pizza tower

I watch you guys while I animate and draw as background noise to keep me from feeling depressed and drained

everybody is sad that there isn't pizza tower but i'm screaming bc i love ppt

I was so exited for pizza tower man you could have at least made the thumbnail more tetris themed

I will actually answer to Jo & Jacob and share that I listen to Deluxe, Gold content mostly while working (I'm a jewler and before that I used to work a 9-5) and recently I let Alpharad Gold playing while falling asleep, it mellows me out. I wish the longer videos come back eventually.

right now i'm watching y'all before i go to bed, but normally i put on this channel when i'm stretching in the morning because i have a bad neck/shoulder! it helps motivate me to actually get out of bed and not be on my ass all day and it sometimes works

Alpharad passing up multiple tetrises in a round and still somehow winning the game is peak alpharad.

Fun fact! Classic versions of Tetris had fully randomized piece orders, but to avoid the scenario Jo brought up of going too long without a piece, modern standardized versions of Tetris randomize "bags" of pieces, sequences of 7 in which each tetromino is present once. This means you can go a maximum of 12 pieces between two tetrominoes of the same kind. While I'm here, I might as well mention the Tetris effect, the name researchers gave to the phenomenon Jacob mentioned of seeing blocks in one's mind or dreams after playing the game for an extended period of time.

i knew it was gonna happen, it was only a matter of how soon edit: im on my couch about to play assassins creed valhalla and thats pretty much every video edit 2: tricky towers, its tetris with physics and theres puzzles, race and survival modes

This year i've been watching them either focused on the video or in the background of messaging people or being on my phone in my dorm room

I thought it was a pizza tower.... I clicked too fast....now I'm going to watch the whole video...tetris is good too.

The irony of Jacob and Jo discussing how people use these videos as background noise while I am avidly watching the blocks be built enjoying the silly noises

calling it now, the entire rest of the year is gonna be different versions of tetris

99% of the time I’m focused on both video and audio. This is when I’m eating or just hanging out in my room. I have a hard time focusing on just one thing at a time. I enjoy it here

Usually I'm eating or cooking when watching y'all Speaking of, my food just dinged, time to eat

High-level puyo or tetris is surprisingly engaging, having to not only micromanage your own board, but take note of where your opponent is at and what they're attempting so you can try to sabatoge them or bait them into making mistakes. Puyo Puyo especially is a legitimate esport in Japan. It is hard to commentate if you aren't familiar with how it works at a higher level though

You guys truly are the reason I don’t have an existential crisis while I do my homework

I listen to Gold usually either when going to sleep or doing something long and tedious.

They have a lot of free videos if they play different versions of Tetris

I put on these videos when I'm eating food or doing homework. It's nice to listen/watch you guys talk about anything. You're very entertaining.

I am currently watching this in the background while working on a very challenging solid color puzzle and being so focused on it that I have been forgetting that I need to have dinner for like 3 hours now 🤠

I usually watch while I’m half awake on my phone, makes the jokes 10 times funnier

he just loves stacking things, hes so wholesome

Never expected not one but two Tetris videos from Alpharad. Next thing we know he actually goes and records the story mode of both Puyo Puyo Tetris games, who knows.

I can't wait to see the clickbait when they do play pizza tower

I usually watch these while eating or in my bed. I have other less visual channels to listen to in the car. However, it just so happens to be one of the rare times I’m actually watching this on the background while doing mindless tasks in a video game.

I listen to this channel whenever i'm having a bad day, that's why I always wait for the daily upload :D

Personally I listen to Alpharad gold during work. It adds some sparkles to my boredom

Pizza tower is definitely an Alpharad Gold game. I believe we’ll get there eventually.

Me: oh cool, they are playing Tetris! I’ll throw this on in the background as I drive home from work, because I can’t sit in silence or I’ll have an existential crisis. I literally screamed out loud when they called me out like that

this channel slays for me because i'm able to watch it whenever. whether it's my main focus, doing school, or in the background of gaming. love it

I work in the mornings, otherwise I would absolutely be watching these while getting ready for work. Outside of that I am one of the rare actual viewers who also watches for gameplay since I have a monitor hooked up to my laptop.

OMG PPT 👀 Quick question. Are you counting all of tetris as one game. Because now I really want yall to play tetris effect: connected because it's the best. Also ty 💜 Edit after watching the video: I am beyond hyped and cannot wait 👀👀👀

I usually draw when watching alpharad gold but occasionally I listen while doing the dishes.

I thought i was gonna get pizza tower, but Tetris just satisfied my brain for 30 minutes

I tend to listen to y'all in the background while painting or while getting ready for work in the morning

I gotta see jo and Jacob play ctr nitro fuelled on gold

To answer Jo's question. I normally watch these videos once I get home from work or if I'm on lunch break. And like I actively pay attention bc I like to hear these boys talk

alpharad: "people don't watch the video, they listen" me: intensely starring at the screen

I listen to y’all EITHER when I’m at work as a delivery driver OR when I’m winding down and preparing to go to bed. Depends on how late y’all upload

Alpharad Gold is like the only podcast I listen to for me. But rn i am watching this, cuz the stacking from Alpha is just too good for my wake up brain

How nice of Jo playing handicapped with no ghost blocks on to give Jacob Alpharad a chance.

I fr did homework to the therapeutic sounds of Jacob and joe playing Tetris

I really like to listen to Deluxe Plus Gold videos while drawing

I watch both of them play and I just think “They are Tetris fanatics?! With that speed is just miserable”

I think were almost exactly a 7th of the way there. Kinda impressive how fast this year has gone by.

i watch the daily Alpharad gold while playing ds/3ds/switch games before falling asleep and then I leave related Alpharad videos on all night

I usually wait for you guy's videos at night to watch it while doing my dailies on random gacha games, they're very monotone so it's good having stuff to be watching on the background while doing so

usually I just have these vids as background noise, but they way that tetris players play tetris is memorizing to me

i watch yall to sleep or when im just playing games when my friends aint on. yall are my favorite background noise fr

Can confirm I listen to this on my hour-long commute to and from work and if there isn’t a new episode, I’ll listen to alpha suffering through an anime game and laugh alone like a crazy person

Tfw the clickbait turned into a game I care about more than Pizza Tower.

i watch their videos while i do my quantum mechanics and astrophysics homework

Despite tetris being a difficult game to make commentary over by it's focus intensive gameplay, They did a geart job in doing so.

While I was slightly bummed that you two weren’t playing pizza tower, this game is like pure dopamine for my brain so it was all good. Also I usually just watch you guys but when I do just listen it’s usually when I’m drawing or doing 3D work

The daily Videos come out right around the time I do my homework. Low-key became a way to stop procrastinating. I just see the video click and realize I need to do my homework and usually get a good chunk done by the time the video is over.

15:50 i'm watching alpharad gold fully engaged and paying attention (because i am stoned)

I have Tourette's and while I was doing my competing response training for cognitive behavioral therapy one night, I was watching someone play a puzzle game and I barely noticed my tics while my mind figured out where the blocks should go. So I booted up a game of Tetris and sure enough, my tics backed off a considerable amount while playing.

because Jo asked, I actually sit and watch Gold after work or during work with headphones if it's a one person task

I like how you always have to guess which game they are actually playing

For the Gold era, I watch the new video before bed

as someone who plays tetris, especially puyo puyo tetris, i cried

I either watch it while laying in bed or in the background while gaming

As per Jo’s question, I’m brushing my teeth while watching. I play the videos in the background while meandering through tasks around the house

To answer your question Jo, I put on Alpha Gold videos in the evening/night to go get high, and go to bed. Then I semi-watch the video while using the audio to keep the thoughts away. Also, if I could ask you one question, Jo, it would be: As an English Major what is your opinion on the Oxford comma?

I typically listen to you guys while I'm playing whatever, but this time I just hard focused in on alpharad's side for some reason

I came to see if anyone actually said where they listen and the fact that we are only talking about Pizza Tower is amazing

I usually watch these while I'm doing some mundane task or if I'm just laying in bed it's like a sick podcast in shortform or even in longform with the longer ones

I’m being completely called out for listening to Alpharad gold while doing homework and sitting in traffic. In the doki doki vid, I forgot you were playing a video game entirely.

I remember making a gimmick account on Twitter dedicated to asking Alpharad to play this game in a video, glad my dream finally came true ...even if they only played Tetris the whole video

16:47 Whenever I'm playing a non-sound intensive game i normally watch youtube and this channel normally has something new that i just watch while i play.

Okay but like Jo’s mastery of T-Spins as the episode went on? That was the best character development.

Dang he really clickbaited us this time this channel would never have done this before right

I either watch you guys while eating lunch or after my nightly existential crisis walk
