She came, she saw, she gamed. Japanese pop mega star Utada Hikaru took on challengers at a Club Nintendo sponsored Tetris DS event. Said Hikky, "I first played when I was five years-old and every day since then." She's racked up a whopping 99,999,999 on the game's current DS incarnation to prove it. Nutshell: She's a big Tetris nerd and even wore glasses during the tourney, because, says Hikky, "It is serious." Thirty contestants were pitted against the singer, one-by-one, and there was six minute time limit for each battle. The first challenger defeated the singer in 56 seconds. Likewise, Utada is defeated by a female challenger in the second round. Next contest was a small child, who Utada schooled and slaughtered. Her final tally? 26 wins and 4 defeats. Impressive. That's the thing about Japan, there's always someone's who is a bigger geek than you. Brian Ashcraft
