Round 2 of the OCTOPAD OPEN!

Beyond high score, I'm curious to see new Tetris strats emerge—should teams have both an A & B player for "L" pieces? What about a dedicated shot caller? Are laser pointers allowed and what does SELECT do?

Drop by Boshi's for the answers to these questions and more!
Excited to be working w/ @tigershungry.co.uk & the NYU crew to make an intramural, bsports tournament for NO QUARTER 2025!

To recruit teams @chouxsalad.bsky.social & I will show the HEXADECIPAD, a 16-player NES controller, at

The OCTOPAD OPEN begins today!

If you're in New York, come try out the Hexadecipad, a 16-player controller for the NES that turns classic head-to-head games like Tetris, Tecmo Bowl, and TMNT: Tournament Fighters into team-vs-team tournaments!

The goal? Form teams to compete at NO QUARTER on 11/22!
