....is the new global landscape of our lives.It was a BIG moment for me when I realized that I have successfully transferred my unhealthy addiction to Angry Birds to my husband!
It's true, he's a believer. (Chorus of applause to Husband for giving in!) Now, when I'm really stumped or angry at a level I pass it on to him and say, 'Husband, I can't get 3 stars. Save my maidenly honor and beat this level for me.' And he always does, because he's at times more stubborn than I am, my knight-in-shining-pig-killer
You may be wearing these question marks above your head yourself, inquiring, 'What's this madness?'
WELL, let me summarize for you.
It's a completely free, completely pointless game I play on my Droid that involves hurtling birds to kill the pigs. That's it. Birds killing pigs. It's what ties Jordan and I together as I curl up next to him after we say prayer together at night and teach him the best way to throw those angry birds and use their tricks to his advantage.

Yes, Daniel-sahn. You learn quickly.
The pigs stole the birds eggs (hence the picture) and the birds are angry. So they break down the structures around the pigs to kill them. You are on the bird's side because the pigs have an evil laugh. There is something extremely satisfying about the destruction and explosions the birds can, if you are talented, leave in their wake. No really. Try it on a day you're really riled about something.
But also be aware that this game also gives me stress. Sometimes I have to put it down because I get so angry.
To those who have never played, to you I cannot explain.
They have 3 different games with like 80,000 different levels. My personal favorite:
It's Christmastime with Angry Birds! It's fun because the snow crumples beneath the deathly blow of the birds and everything falls into chaos and pigs die. Then I rack up points. Then I congratulate myself on being master of the universe when I get 3 stars.
I'm not sure what cultivates the Christmas Spirit more than this game. They also have Easter, Moon Festival and like a bajillion others like Angry Birds Rio which I uninstalled from my phone because it wanted to track my phone calls and hijack my life.
To put this in perspective, we got my grandma an iPad. She plays Angry Birds. Alot. Ok, right here she's playing Bejeweled but she still plays with The Birds.
If you're not playing, and you know my grandma is, then maybe I'm trying to tell you something....
HOLY CRAP, Angry Birds is an addicting game! I get riled up over it, too! But there's something so...soothing?...SATISFYING!...about killin' them pigs! (And yes, you hit the nail on the head; it's the evil little laughter that really makes me want to kill 'em and then fry them up as bacon!) I don't allow myself much time to play this game, because otherwise it takes over my entire existence, but somehow life goes on without me? Very strange...

ReplyDeleteKa-tee, this is Tara on Paul's computer. I hope this comment works because sometimes google is a tard and doesn't let me comment.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy your grandma plays angry birds. Someday I will join the throng of people enjoying it so much.
And that conversation about you and Jordan with the gushers? Priceless.
