Bill Rizer Shoots Angry Birds Right Out of the F%#king Sky

As a child my favorite NES game was Contra. As an adult, my favorite game is Angry Birds. One of those statements is a lie.

I made a new iPhone background this morning, because that’s how I party on a Saturday. Below is a screenshot of what my phone looks like right now. If you’re willing to lose 6 icons for the novelty of it (and believe me there’s a bit of satisfaction that comes from looking at your phone and seeing Bill blast that Angry Bird right in his multi-million dollar face) you can download the actual background image below.

Rovio recently announced the next installment of their Angry Birds franchise, Angry Birds Space. They released a teaser “trailer” about as informative as the original Transformers Movie trailer, except without the moon, the transformer shadow or the quick blurry glimpse of things to come. Come to think of it, the video was just the game’s title. 220,000 unsatisfied YouTube visitors? Check.

Let me summarize their message,

We’re working on a new game but it’s incredibly difficult to work with all this money on our keyboards.

I’m assuming we’ll see some new “moon physics” and probably plenty of played out references to the moon being made of cheese. We won’t know for sure until March 22nd when Rovio becomes the first company to crash the App Store. If we’re lucky we won’t have to suffer through an Apollo 13 in 3D re-release with an Angry Birds tie-in.

Houston, we have a problem… Rovio has all the money in the App Store. Contrary to my tone, I’m actually happy that a smaller developer is doing so well and truthfully it’s a really fun game. I am tired of hearing about it though.

Angry Birds Space drops March 22nd, you should probably get in line now.
