It's not that bad, you just have to build a horizontal base on which to start completing lines. Well, that, and to be careful not to bump something you don't mean to. Btw, you can sometimes straighten out crooked pieces by ramming them horizontally with your falling piece.

When I first saw this comic I was like: "God, that thing is going to appear in my dreams"...and now?
Am I dreaming? Is this the Matrix?

This is great. A year ago, XKCD caused YouTube to add the feature "Preview comment", and now, someone created the Hell Tetris clone. Thank you thank you thank you!

XKCD FTW etc etc and this is much more than just a game- i.e. Tetris is an extremely abstract look at tasks we do everyday (literally, by stacking things, figuratively, just the grind of doing your job (the better you do it, the more you get snowed under). Hell Tetris is, indeed, much less a metaphor than a representational simulation of how real life is. Its not neat and regular, its a bunch of pieces that don't really fit but have to be crammed together through compromise.
