Angry Birds

Discuss Angry Birds in all its incarnations here.

Death Star levels were finally added to the Facebook version of Angry Birds Star Wars. I got to play as the Blues, my favorite birds (they're TIE Fighter pilots!).

Angry Birds Rio is still free on iOS!

Angry Birds? You mean Crush the Castle.

Angry Birds? You mean Crush the Castle.

Yeah, when Angry Birds first appeared I couldn't help wonder why everyone was lapping up this cheap Crush The Castle knock off.

Because colorful birds are more marketable.

But I like smashing castles...

Oh my God. I checked it and it's true. It DID come before Angry Birds.

But I actually played that game too back then and completed it. Now there's an update which I might gonna finish it.

I liked playing it on Facebook, mostly because it was cool that I'd always come in first place in the weekly tournament because I had no other friends compete in the weekly tournament, so I'd get all the power ups and stuff. Now, they've got two generic benchmarks that I have to beat, "Yellow Bird" and "Red Bird" and now I actually have to try hard to beat them, so I sorta gave it up.

ALL incarnations? I've never played the game but I picked up some of these at 711 last night:

Angry Bird fruit snacks are awesome. Angry Bird fruit snacks with little Angry Bird Han Solo's? EVEN BETTER.

I cannot believe that some stupid flash game on Facebook evolved into a multimillion dollar corporation with fruitsnacks, t-shirts, and a game for every console. It's not even fun.

 

[Snorlaxative]

I like Bad Piggies because either you are successful and happy or you get lulz out of your failure.

 

[Trombonista]

New Death Star levels are out on Facebook!

Also, apparently I need to give Crush the Castle a try. I'm sure it's fun, but it's not cute.

Thank you

It's the ri-fucking-diculous amount of publicity and hype it gets that drove me away from it. I remember at my old job, every other day, you'd have some kid come in with an Angry Birds t-shirt, or an Angry Birds backpack, or something. Everywhere you go, Angry Birds this, Angry Birds that. It's enough to make you

Nuts. Angry Birds is simple, stupid, and fun. I'd rather be having some simple stupid fun than sitting around bored out of my huge genius mind. Bad Piggies is good. The other expansions (Star Wars, Outer Space or whatever) are worth a twiddle. The art is really well done, as is the sound (for such a simple little thing). Don't try to read too much in to any of them, they're all just meant for something to do when you have five minutes to burn. Yeah, they have marketed the living shit out of it, but so what? I can ignore that like I ignore most everything else. The most interesting aspect was the demonstration of how you make a billion dollars by giving away a game. HEY, YOU PLAY IT WITH ONE FINGER, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Last Christmas, the senior engineer in ballistics at ATK Launch Systems (my sister) gave her husband an iPad. When quizzed about what software they should get, I said "get Angry Birds." She hated it, and did nothing but bitch for the first fifteen minutes about how stupid it was. Four hours later, she was still glued to the iPad.
