If you think the big red birds are useless submitter, you're obviously doing it wrong.

SilentStrider: If you think the big red birds are useless submitter, you're obviously doing it wrong.

Agreed. It's those stupid green boomerang birds that are useless.

Agreed. It's those stupid green boomerang birds that are useless.

When the boomerang birds first came out it seemed like they were creating levels where they could be useful. The longer this game goes on, the more they seem hellbent on giving you the worst birds for any given situation: i.e. two blue birds to try to smack away some wood so the yellow bird can attack the ice.

The birds seem weaker. Even hitting boxes of dynamite is kinda meh these days.

I don't know, I think of like the new bird they came up with for the Halloween update this year. I don't get the Black one though. Can smash glass and concrete quickly, but bounces right off wood.

Shostie: Agreed. It's those stupid green boomerang birds that are useless.

I've stopped using them as boomerangs at all. I just pretend they're the small red birds and let them fly without ever activating their "skill."

It's worked out pretty well.

Also, I kinda like the new bird that debuted with this year's Halloween season edition. You know, the one that blows up to about 700 times it's original size.

FTFM.

Obviously they forgot to

Secret to the Boomerang Birds, fire them backwards.

Also, has anyone pointed out how Angry Birds is the Game Version of the 99% movement? The fat piggies in their towers and castles have stolen the eggs of the poor little tweeters who have no choice but to rail against them.

Seriously. Great idea. I'm gonna do that.

DarkJohnson: Also, has anyone pointed out how Angry Birds is the Game Version of the 99% movement? The fat piggies in their towers and castles have stolen the eggs of the poor little tweeters who have no choice but to rail against them.

So would it be ironic that a game representing the 99% has made the creators a part of the 1%?

thismomentinblackhistory: Seriously. Great idea. I'm gonna do that.

ha! Tricky and not always the best way to use them but a couple times it helped me get the 3 stars.

And how did you get that picture of me??? I hates the internets

scottydoesntknow: So would it be ironic that a game representing the 99% has made the creators a part of the 1%?

1%, they has it.

Bondith: Angry Birds needs to take a page from Worms and let you choose from your arsenal. Hell, just giving you control over the order of the birds would help.

That would be cool.

I have Worms 2: Armageddon on my iPhone. I love being able to play people over wi-fi.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: 1) the big red bird is NOT useless.
2) the small red bird IS useless
3) the boomerang bird is great and strong and mighty and there are some cool levels on which shooting backwards gives a huuuuge advantage
4) hate upthread for the black bomb bird? Really!? That's the most powerful bird in the arsenal. I love that bird.

I think the Puffer/Balloon Bird is now mightier than the Bomb Bird.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: I'm on the classic iPhone version of Angry Birds. I've never seen that balloon bird before.

It was just introduced in Seasons' Halloween level just last month. It's pretty cool and can be more useful than the Bbomb Bird.

And in defense of the small red bird, knowing were to target with it helps a lot - but then that's what the game is about anyway.

The green birds are extremely powerful as has been stated when flung backwards, and they seem to do a little more damage than a red bird if their power has not been activated.

I personally am a fan of the bomb-egg-pooping white birds from a damage perspective as they can do strong damage to two targets at a time.

I don't like the levels so much, when a yellow, white, or green bird could be used to get something kind of out of reach, but they don't give you one, and instead rely on some incredible luck to create some sequence of events to boost your bird or fire some projectile into whatever it is you need to hit.

stevetherobot: I disagree. I just played a level that had a Puffer and a Bomb and the Bomb Bird did way more damage. Besides you've got to get the Puffer in the exact right place for it to be really effective. With the Bomb Bird, close is often good enough.

Yeah, I've had the bomb bird be less effective than the Puffer. You can do a lot of similar damage with the Puffer if you detonate it right next to structures. It also is really good at 'drilling' into an area like a bunker buster.

Each bird has it's strengths but (to me) the Puffer is more useful than the Bomb bird.

thelordofcheese: smedrick: thelordofcheese: smedrick: thelordofcheese: Degenerate Monkey: thelordofcheese: I've tried this game and I just don't get why it's so popular.

Seriously, it takes very little to entertain some people.

You should just get some shiny objects and go, "OOOOOoooo! AAaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"

It requires a combination of ingenuity and luck to get the highest scores, and that is the appeal. Play many games?

Actually, yes. Scribblenauts is more difficult and creative. This is a point-and-click style game that isn't very much of either.

It rests solely on the fact that it was an early game to the mobile device platform and that people are obsessed with achieving perfection rather than challenging themselves or even having fun.

You were bottle-fed as a child, weren't you?

you strive for perfection in your mundane and ultimately meaningless every-day trivialities, don't you?

No, but your butthurt over other people enjoying a cell phone game could only stem from a deep-seated emotional problem.

Oh, yes. Only. Must be. So succinct. You must be correct. Especially with such well-established criteria upon which you have based your assessment.

As far as I know, all Fark posters who have the word "cheese" in their handles are f**king assholes, and you're no exception.

*headdesk*

Why did I never think of that?

I think the Puffer/Balloon Bird is now mightier than the Bomb Bird.

am I the only one who can't figure out how to use that one right?
