That's not playing a game.

Looks like he memorized every next brick and where to put it. The randomizer on this machine sucks....

I can't even WATCH the game that fast, much less play it.

It looks like that, but I don't think so.  I just can't imagine anybody would make a Tetris machine with no randomizer. 

But, there's a 3-piece preview and a "Hold" box up at the top of the screen.  His mind is playing 3 pieces ahead of his hands, with the ability to skip a piece by putting it in the hold box and call it out when he gets a better spot for it.  I think that's how he does it.  Still fricking incredible, I'm a good Tetris player and I could never, ever do that.  :dizzy:

The randomizer maintains a history of the 4 most recent given pieces.
Every time it needs to generate a piece, it will impartially choose one of the 7 pieces.
The randomizer checks if this chosen piece is found in the history. If it isn't, this piece is given. If it is, it picks one of the 7 pieces randomly again. If after a certain number of attempts (4 for TGM, 6 for its sequels), it still does not succeed at finding a piece outside the history, it settles for this recently given piece
