'''''Tetris 99''''' is an online version of the tile-matching video game ''Tetris'', developed by Arika, and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] in February 2019. The software is free, but only to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Incorporating elements of the battle royale genre, ''Tetris 99'' has up to 99 players competing simultaneously to complete rows with falling tetrominoes, which in turn send attacks in the form of "garbage rows" to other players with the goal of knocking them out of the game. 
'''''Sonichu'' #6''' is the seventh issue of the ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' comic book series. By this point, [[Chris]] seems to have realized that dividing his comics into episodes is pointless if the episodes all run seamlessly together, so the storyline of CWCville's battle with PVCC is confined to a single, lengthy, Episode 14.
 
Chris bought this game in 2019. It has since become one of his most-played games on the switch, with him going as far as to describe it as part of his daily routine. As of July 2021, Chris had put 565 hours into playing ''Tetris 99''. The game is further notable for being one of the few things that Chris is genuinely good at, his performance documented by several individuals who have encountered him in this game. Chris has taken pride in his ''Tetris 99'' skills, going as far as to brag about his success in this game on Twitter.

Sonichu - Issue 6, Cover.jpg

Sonichu #6 is the seventh issue of the Sonichu comic book series. By this point, Chris seems to have realized that dividing his comics into episodes is pointless if the episodes all run seamlessly together, so the storyline of CWCville's battle with PVCC is confined to a single, lengthy, Episode 14.

However, shortly before beginning work on this issue, Chris's beloved dog Patti was euthanized on 27 June 2006. Distraught by these events, Chris sought to make the lead story in this issue a tribute to Patti that would create a new life for her as a regular character in CWCville. Since Sonichu #5 ended on a cliffhanger with Episode 13, "One Lucky Dog" is set before that story, and labeled as Episode 12.5. The blend between cartoon and real-life is perhaps one of the most interesting and experimental things that Chris has done with the comic (and, in the case of the "experimental" tag, in general), and Chris would later incorporate this concept in Sonichu #10 and #11.

Chris again let this issue languish for months before finally completing it several days before his twenty-fifth birthday. He was apparently motivated to finish so that he could include the gratuitous shill for his impending DVD.
