According to Game Pro, Rovio has turned down Zynga’s 2.25 billion dollar offer. We ask, Why Rovio Why?! It would have been nice to finally have a facebook-off with our Facebook friends. The Sims has done it, so why hasn’t Rovio? Could it be that they see something else coming? Perhaps Google + is the next big thing? It is never good to place all your “eggs” in one basket Rovio. (Pun absolutely intended)
We can’t really crucify Rovio for turning the offer down; it still isn’t clear what the terms were for this price tag. Perhaps it was a straightforward buy-off, and if that were the case I would have turned it down as well. Come on! Would you just sign over your billion-dollar baby that easily? You have to admit for a company that is worth over 1.2 billion dollars that was a low-ball offer.
Hope you manic Monday was a good one! Squawk you soon!
I had to you show this gigantic pizza before this blog get’s serious. (When are we ever serious?)
So the buzz on Angry Birds lately is the release of the PC CD-ROM in the UK. With the downloadable version available for MAC and PC on the Rovio shop why even bother? I do not understand why this is such big deal. I honestly find a to be a waste of labor and materials. Perhaps there are those who were seeking a hard copy?
Moving on… Yesterday was thanksgiving and there are some who are probably celebrating today like I am. It looks like Angry Birds did celebrate Thanksgiving with pumpkin pie!
Thanksgiving is like a holiday rocket launch. People carb load for black Friday, and most Christmas décor is up or begins to go up. The Rovio store has launched their Angry Birds Christmas gear and would love to get my hands on those ornaments. The pig is 50% off right now, and our favorite birds have gotten into the holiday spirit with their Santa Clause hats! Have you notice that boomerang bird is often left out? Where is Big Brother bird, that big ol turkey?! Even the pigs got their Santa hat!
Hope you all have a great weekend, and stay linked and may your holiday planning go smooth.Thank you for liking and sharing!
The birds have their first retail shop, and it opened in Helsinki, Finland. According to Rovio there were fans camping outside, nights before the opening to be the first to catch the grand opening specials. I thought I was a true gamer, but these folks are hardcore. Come to think about it, I would have probably been there too for the exclusive pictures and interviews.
The megastore of 20,000 square meters opened at 11:11 on 11/11, which seems to be the magic number this year. You can view more photos and fan feedback here on rovio.com. To my surprise nobody has posted videos on the grand opening. This is why Rovio needs a media girl like me; I can’t believe I could not find a single video on this event.
Check out the life size slingshot that makes sounds from the games.
Finally a big congratulations is due for Angry Birds Rio winning best mobile game at the Golden Joytick Awards 2011, against fruit ninja and infinite blade. They also won the iLounge Reader’s Choice 2011. In honor of their success let us take a moment and watch the original Angry Birds Rio trailer before the colorful game was released to your mobile world.
It is always my pleasure to bring my readers the best and smile worthy Angry Birds stories to you. Hopefully you have enjoyed this post and share with your friends. We’d like to thank you for staying linked to us. To my fellow Americans, have a great Thanksgiving and make sure you roast that ham and save the birds
Is it possible that Rovio has not made an Angry Birds Seasons for Thanksgiving because of turkey abuse? What would you call the game; perhaps Rovio would get inspired if we bless it with a name? Angry Birds can’t be upset at my people, which are Hispanics, we like to roast pork for Thanksgiving. Although, I do love Turkey as well; forgive me!
Now that’s an Angry Turkey! Hey “Angry Turkey” good name for a game right?
This is my birthday month so I have gathered around some cute festive Angry Bird Pictures. Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and of course November is my favorite month. Many blockbuster movies première, and the leaves on the trees look like art!
Everywhere you look, you can spot something Angry Birds. I have seen them in commercials, and you if you look closer you might find them in your cappuccino!
Check out this scene! Who ever did this made it looks like it came straight from the game! Could it be a leak? Hmmm…
Well my readers, I hope this blog as put some smiles on your faces. I will be going out of town again so expect some pictures soon! Have an amazing weekend!
Thought I’d share some cool finds with you. I came across Lego Angry Birds creations. I felt this form of art deserved some praise! Sometimes I wish I had an arsenal of Lego pieces, o that I can build something Lego. It almost looks animated; see how the artist captured the flying dots! I’d like to [...]
It just keeps getting bigger and bigger! Let us give a huge congratulations to Rovio, it has reached the astonishing number of a half a billion downloads. This gives a new meaning to “less is more”. As we know it took a .99-cent app to start and it has lead to billions. Rovio has a [...]
