Stereogram Tetris: magic eye Time Waster

Stereogram Tetris needs a disclaimer: not everyone's going to be able to play this game, and those who can might get a headache from it. Remember those magic eye posters, where a secret image was revealed if you could unfocus your eyes the right way? This is Tetris inside one of those. If you can see the hidden 3D images, you can't even see where your pieces are. I'm not sure it's healthy to stare at a stereogram for the length of time it takes to play a game of Tetris, but the game is definitely cool as a proof of concept. In case trying to play Tetris inside a magic eye isn't already hard enough for you, Stereogram Tetris has three skill levels. I haven't even come close to getting the 100 points it takes for a high score - I can see the stereogram, but not long enough to play a good game - but maybe some of you can do better.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I never felt like there was anything in this world I couldn't do until I saw this. After more than an hour studying it, I realized I am physically incapable of playing it. Now, my self-esteem is shot for the day.

I am great at those pictures but I'm rubbish at tetris. I can see it with ease. Try focusing on the wall behind your monitor.

What you have to do is cross your eyes until one pattern lines up with another of the same. The image will then "lock" and you'll be able to play. At least that's how I do it.

Cool but that fricking spacebar is set for pause instead of drop. I'm used to the down arrow being "accelerate" so I kept screwing it up.

I found this fairly easy to play. Though the sides of playable field were hard to see. The most annoying part was actually that the down arrow drops the block all the way to the bottom, rather than just speeding up it's descent temporarily.
