Met Peter Vesterbacka Of Rovio Of Angry Birds Monday Evening

That is why you want to show up for events. I had no idea he was going to be there. I guess I did not read up the details on the event before I showed up. But it was awesome. It has to have been one of the best MeetUps I ever went to. There was Peter, the biggest name in mobile games, and there was live music, and there was free food - I ate a whole bunch of baby tomatoes.

Events: Week Of October 3

Peter said Angry Birds was "an overnight success in that" they had 51 flop games before they came up with Anngry Birds. Or maybe it was 52 flop games, one of the above.

Farmville's Got Competition

ReadWriteWeb: Look Out Farmville: Angry Birds is Coming to Facebook: The game - in which you fling a variety of birds at things in hopes of knocking them over - is a complete blockbuster with more than 75 million downloads. Several different gaming blogs have reported that Angry Birds' creator, Rovio, has told Wired UK that it is working on a social reinvention of the game for Facebook...... Will Angry Birds take over as the number one game on Facebook? Can it compete with the crack-like qualities of games like Farmville and Cityville?

I'd be curious to know as to how the game reinvents itself for the Facebook platform. I do think they are capable of giving Farmville some serious competition.

Angry Birds, Angry, Angry Birds

I first noticed this game - a few times - in subway cars being played by people sitting next to me. They were gripped. I was gripped just watching. It'a good game if you have time to kill. It is simple, it is fun, it is eye catching. The name is a nice one. Angry birds. This dog will hunt.
