<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris" target="_blank">Tetris</a> is the original time waster. It competes head to head with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitaire" target="_blank">Solitaire</a> in my PDA. These kind of games are also useful while wait my Firefox loads. However, i never thought this simple game could mixed nicely with Arm Wrestling (who would? I bet not even <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Pajitnov" target="_blank">the creator!</a>).</p>
<p>Anyhow, <a href="http://tresling.org/" target="_blank">Tresling</a> is a machine that controlled a Tetris game within arm wrestling.</p>
<p>From the author&#8217;s page:</p>
<blockquote><p>They said it couldn&#8217;t be done. Mixing Tetris and arm wrestling&#8230; not possible. But just like Stallone in &#8220;Over the Top,&#8221; the impossible happened, dreams came true, tears were shed. I give you Tresling: Not just a two-player version of best game on earth, not just a fist-pumping, back ally arm wrestling match to end all matches&#8230; but a mash-up so heroic Zeus himself could not imagine it.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Old school</span> cool time waster + <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Old school</span> cool competitive sport = FUN!!</p>
