All tag results for 'angry birds'

Don't be surprised if you see a lot of people dressed as Nicki Minaj this weekend because according to Google she's the most searched Halloween costume.

Unfortunately for those wanting to buy a pre-made Minaj costume, you're going to be S.O.L. because there aren't any. Instead, you're going to have to use your imagination and do it DIY-style.

Check out the gallery (below) for some inspiration!

LOLS! It's as if he's never seen anything animated, interactive or colorful ever before.

Watch this little guy go through more emotions than you did the first time you saw Titanic!

The crazy part is that they'll probably make it happen!

After passing the 250 million download mark for their Angry Birds games, Finnish company Rovio has their eyes set on one billion downloads!

Here's what the head of Rovio's brand marketing department, Wibe Wagemans, had to say about their ambitious goal with Angry Birds:

"This is something that even six months ago was unthinkable."

Guess we'll see if they're able to reach their goal before the next big app featuring bothered animals comes along.

Will it be Pissed Off Pandas? Aggravated Alligators? Furious Frogs?

…Enraged Emus??? LOLz!

Well, this is kind of sick.

For 99 cents, the same price as a pack of Sweet Tarts, iPhone users can purchase access to a live stream of the Casey Anthony murder trial. Personally, we'd go with the candy.

For those of you wondering if the app is worth your time, the Florida trial involves a mother who's been accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, and hiding her body in a car trunk. She's been charged with first degree murder.

Here's what the company behind the app, Progressive Lifestyles, had to say about its success earlier today:

So awesome!

Though, we think the whole thing could use a little work (how about having the birds actually launched when the animation happens instead of some dude chucking them after the fact??), it's still pretty rad.

Especially now that we know that the pigs explode in real life! Ha!

The final explosion was the best — totally looked like it was in the game.

Neat, we need more creative people doing things like this! Bring happiness to the world!

Do U play Angry Birds??

We shudder to think what we would have done if this game had never come to be!

Our downtime would be so much more boring! LOLz!

Now that the Angry Birds app has essentially taken over the world, having sold over 10 million copies from the Apple Store and 100 million via other platforms, which made the Finnish developers at Rovio Mobile $6 billion in 2009 alone, the creators are discussing just what exactly made such a seemingly simple idea for a game so popular!

Joe Wee, co-founder of mobile game publishes Chillingo, who worked with the designers, explains:

"We were determined to add more character and more personality."

This led to the grunting green pigs in the game, which are that color due to the swine-flu scare that was going on while the game was being developed!

The addition of a trajectory line for the bird when fired from the slingshot, and the player's ability to pinch and zoom and pan before turning, are "tiny things that add up," according to Wee.

Some other rules of thumb when attempting to create a successful iPhone app:

•Be easy (but not too easy) to play. The goal with Angry Birds, Rovio's Ville Heijari says, was to make it playable by anyone, with "a core game-play mechanic that you can instantly grasp," he says. "Simplicity was always the top priority."

•Be quick to play. The best mobile games let you play for just a few minutes or an extended period, says Andrew Stein of PopCap Games, creator of Bejeweled and Plants vs. Zombies. Also important: Mobile games can "be disrupted at any time by a phone call or a text," he says.

•Have a "look."Angry Birds' "audiovisual design was in line with this: simple, basic shapes (and) bright colors," Heijari says. Another Chillingo-published game, Cut the Rope, stars the green, google-eyed Om Nom, who antsily awaits candy you deliver to him. "It's important to create characters users get emotionally attached to," Wee says.

•Be addictive. The best mobile games call to you from your purse, backpack or pocket.

Fair enough advice!

But we'd have to argue that sometimes, things just take off for whatever reason!

What do U think?? Will another game be able to recreate the success of Angry Birds??
