Yes, everyone loves the long block in Tetris. Not only does the line help you rack up points, but it's also probably gotten you out of some jams. But the zigzag? That piece is a heartbreaker, and arguably the most loathed block in Tetris.
Check after the break to see the rest of the comic.

I'm just happy to find that they have an RSS feed. When did that get there?

What, the Zig-zag? They're nowhere near as bad as the square blocks, they NEVER want to fit in.

I hate L-block! Zig-zag isn't bad, but the L-block is just annoying...

L-block was trolled into first place in that contest, so I think long block has nothing to worry about.
In that comic is that........fake German? Either way, I'm not really into webcomics but I gave the site a look anyway, and their work is pretty brilliant.

Hah, my bad if that's actually Dutch. I'm just so used to Americans faking German by schpeakin liken thisen in der moschten annoyin unt unrealistiken wayen poossiblen that when I actually see words that resemble these I have to stop and think whether it's just another bad attempt at sounding German or not. I suppose I only thought it was suspect because the rest of the webcomics were in English.

It isn't Dutch either, since I don't understand a word of it (in general, if you see the ü/ö/ä more than once in an entire text, it's safe to say it isn't Dutch). Several of the more substantial words return no google hits, so I thinks it's safe to say it's a fake language. It sounds more scandinavian to me, by the way.
So, to get back to the comic.. B rotated the blocks in Tetris, right? Just to check if I actually understood a joke, instead of making one up. And A let them dash down? It's been a long time since I played that game..

Zigzags need to do more to try to integrate if they want to be accepted. Otherwise they can go right back to the top of the screen where they came from.
