Angry Birds is a big favourite with both my kids and they were delighted to find that there’s a Christmas song out from Rovio:
You can download the song, should you feel the need, and they’ll make a donation to Children in Need. (Rovio, not my kids.)
Coupled with the lazy swing sound, we went and saw the Jonny Cooper Big Band up at the local Wynberg School this afternoon. Very chilled with a few glasses of wine and a only mildly drunken walk home. I like concerts I can walk to to.
Issues with internet today, so not much from me here except to say that you should go and download the latest chapter in the Angry Birds saga.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Angry Birds Space, but my first impressions of the new Star Wars game are very favourable.
This isn’t just some Angry Birds gameplay chucked over a Star Wars background; there’s detail, storylines, special character birds and special powers. For example, above, once the Luke Skywalker bird has taken out that Stormtrooper pig shooting the laser, the Obi-Wan birds will “use the force” to destroy the Imperial fortress.
It’s free and Android users can download it directly using this QR code:
Have fun!
UPDATE: Oh my. Han Solo bird with rebounding laser pistol is fantastic. And you can call in a “Scorched Earth” Airstrike from the Millennium Falcon. I am loving this.
With March comes the fantastic news that some men in expensive cars will be repeatedly driving around a track behind some other men in expensive cars for the next few months. This – as those of you who spotted the sarcasm in the line above – doesn’t fill me with awe, but what is quite cool about this procession of speedy vehicles is that Heikki Kovalainen, one of those men in an expensive car, will be wearing this hat (that is the technical term for the headgear, right?):
Apparently rumours of the Caterham team (for it is they) having a new forked stick and elastic band “launch control” system are wildly exaggerated. But while Mr Kovalainen will undoubtedly have the coolest hat in the procession, it surely does leave his season open to sabotage by rival drivers placing precariously-constructed wooden pigstys at the side of the track, which his car will then be involuntarily, inexplicably and inescapably drawn towards, perhaps losing him time, or indeed, life.
Still, he’ll look really cool as he crashes out of the parade.
Oh dear. From your phone to your PC.
Rovio have launched the Google Chrome extension for Angry Birds.
Life will never be the same again. Work will never be the same again.
Google Chrome users will find it here on the Chrome Web Store (it’s free).
If you still haven’t switched to Chrome, you can do so here.
If you’ve ever played Angry Birds, you’ll completely agree with this cartoon from The Oatmeal.
If you haven’t played Angry Birds, this post will mean nothing to you.
