    I loved Tetris, but Dr. Mario was my game for years. It got so bad I would actually have Dr. Mario dreams - like where to put the pieces, high scores, etc. I lost a good portion of my college years to Snood and my iPhone has become a virtual puzzle game holder. #tetrisaddiction

    @ArtfulSlinger: iPhone has Toobz, which is like a puzzle where you set it up so water can flow throw tubes without spilling. I used to play it as a kid. The first night I got it I played it for two hours straight and couldn't fall asleep because there were Toobz in my brain and I could have gotten such a better score if I had done this instead and this tube will work best in this situation and TOOBZ #tetrisaddiction

    @ArtfulSlinger: Before I go to bed I play tetris on my phone and recently have had tetris dreams. It was very weird and I woke up slightly ashamed. #tetrisaddiction

    I noticed that A Dress A Day has decided that next Thursday is International Wear A Dress Day, too! [www.dressaday.com] I'm in! Who's with me?

    Also, a free and somewhat additive Web game my sister showed me is Drench at [www.flashbynight.com]

    Another several days of my life goooooone forever!

    Oh, god. I just downloaded LineUp the other day, and I've already lost many, many hours to it. Stupid "speed" bar at the bottom!

    I'm also really liking Flood-It! for the iPhone. It's made by the same company as LineUp, but it has some interesting little twists that aren't as addictive as LineUp but still a lot of fun. #tetrisaddiction

    @flaxen_vixen: And Zuma and Alchemy to that list and we could be the same person. (Damn you MSN Games!!) I am convinced that my undergrad thesis was the POS is was because of Snood. It took away a huge chunch of my senior year. #tetrisaddiction

    I'm a sucker for any kind of puzzle or pattern game. It's nice to see that I'm not the only addict.

    Not to be an enabler. But. Alexey Pajitnov, the creator of Tetris, made another puzzle game called Hexic. It's kind of a hybrid of Tetris and Bejewelled. There isn't an iPhone version yet, but its on xBox360 and MSNGames. #tetrisaddiction

    In college a friend had an N64 with Tetris in her room and I would spend hours in there playing. I would get so focused that I'd have people hold beer and cigarettes up to my mouth so I wouldn't have to pause or take my hand off the controllers.

    Oh the days of fighting over Super Nintendo and N64 with my mom... we were both complete Tetris addicts.

    She still plays puzzle games constantly and has tried to get me into some, but I can't anymore. I developed a big Snood addiction, and recently I began playing Brick Breaker on my phone... I knew if I played for more than a few hours I'd be completely hooked so I stopped cold turkey. Ugh. Now I'm itching for a puzzle game.. any game. Thanks Jezebel, you might have just brought me over to the brightly-colored shapes side once again... #tetrisaddiction

    I have a hand held Yahtzee game in my bathroom. I play it every time I use the toilet. I once spent an hour sitting on the toilet just so I could keep trying to better my score.

    Why didn't I get up and move to another room??? #tetrisaddiction

    Hello, my name is Token and I'm a Chuzzle-aholic. It started innocently enough, just tried a free version on my laptop. The next thing you know I couldn't stop playing it. On my phone, on my computer, in my dreams. I'm so ashamed. #tetrisaddiction
