Pixelated Gamer Blankets

This Epic Fail Blanket Celebrates the Popular Tetris Computer Game

— September 8, 2014 — Pop Culture
Curl up on the couch next time you finish playing a video game with this epic fail Tetris computer game blanket. This quilt celebrates the popular technicolor puzzle game with a fun technicolor design.

Tetris is still one of the most popular computer games ever invented thanks to its ability to suck you into continuing to play. Getting the various shapes to fit together into a straight line was tricky which is why retailer Think Geek created this blanket design complete with the printed saying, 'Epic Fail.' The blanket cleverly replicates the Tetris screen with a black background, a pixelated design aesthetic and various colorful shapes stacked together. This would be a great blanket to have if you're into classic computer games and you need something soft to keep your warm.
