Is there any app that is more addicting than Angry Birds? Downloaded Rio last week and got my final three star level finished today. They need a new update now so I can get my fix!

Huh?

I rest my case.



What is the case you are resting? That it's one of the most popular apps and like many people I enjoy playing it and trying to beat it?

I totally forgot that I had installed Rio!! Now I can play the May update:)

I can't believe how addictive the game is. I had an 8 hour layover in Cincy last month (after a cancellation due to weather the day before), and I almost missed my flight because of this damn game.

Yeah it can kill a lot of time, I like to play when I'm playing poker. Volume off of course but it kills time between hands. I don't have the May update for Rio yet, hopefully it will be available soon.

It really is incredible how quickly time passes while you play.

If you're interested, they sell angry birds t-shirts at JC Penney.

That was my game of choice for a while.

Hmmmm I might have to get that. Is it in the app store? I have an iPhone.

I currently have a Palm Pre so it runs web OS, the program is called SuperNES (also free which is best!). It takes a little computer knowledge as you have to individually download each games ROM and manually load them to the phone, but if you know how to work a thumb drive you can probably load a ROM on a phone.

As the webOS is the least popular of the mobile OS', I'm sure the iPhone or Android has something similar, just search on your app store for a SNES emulator and there has to be one, if not if you have a jailbroken iPhone I'm almost positive an app is available.


Actually, I'll be getting a Google Nexus S on Monday or Tuesday so I'll now be on Android Gingerbread. There better be a SNES emulator available. I play way too much Super Mario Bros. it's like my daily fix of crack.

I don't have a jailbroken phone so if there isn't an app I might be out of luck. I'll look into it though.

Well this is gonna sound really stupid but you actually are shooting the birds with a slingshot to kill the evil pigs who stole their eggs. Different birds have different abilities. Again, I know it sounds stupid but it is an incredibly addictive game for your cellphone. Great for killing time wherever you are.

I've heard much of this game but never seen it. Anyway there are lots of simple games that can be very addictive. I can play Bejeweled for hours on end, for instance. I used to have one in my old Palm IIIc, along with a cheat-friendly version of monopoly...

Do not seek it out. It's more addictive than arguing with trolls. More addictive than coffee! Avoid!!

Is it even available outside Apple? If not, I'm safe as can be. I own nothing made by Apple, I believe that makes me one of a very small group :P

I found an online version. Thankfully, it's in Japanese so I didn't try it.

But I did consider emailing my son's Japanese teacher to translate it for me...

I play it on my Motorola Droid phone, which runs Google's Android OS.

I've an old Nokia running Java or Symbian or some other prehistoric OS. Actually it doesn't even work as a phone any more. I keep it as a clock, calendar, alarm clock and for a few games it came with.

I've heard that. It reminds me of old jokes concerning jeans and digital watches.

Recently I had a chance to play with my sister's ipad. I kind of see why it would be useful but 1) I need a keyboard to make full use of it and 2) I'd want a stylus so as not to leave finger smudges all over the touch screen.

So if and when I decide to get something like an ipad, I'm sure I'll get a laptop :)

Here's some Angry Birds related comedy, warning for adult language:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMltvlqEM54

I don't play the game (although I do enjoy the Crush the Castle game online that inspired AB) because I have no iPhone or Droid phone, but I still found this hilarious, as did all the AB players that I showed this to at work.
