Pigs beware: Angry Birds Xmas edition is on its way; Angry Birds Day is officially 11th Dec 2010

Angry Birds Day 11th Dec

Rovio, the Finnish Developers of top iphone app, Angry Birds, have hinted in their twitter feeds that there will be an Angry Birds Christmas edition. Apparently it’s going to be a free update for those who purchased the Halloween edition but probably a round of $0.99 donations for the rest of us.

Not content to sit on their laurels, it also looks like Angry Birds is going to take on life outside the iphone in a big way (where it started). It’s already possible to purchase Angry Birds T-shirts and plush toys. Now what’s really amazing is that the 11thof December has been declared a world-wide Angry Birds Day  (That’s a Saturday BTW). That means there’re going to be flash mobs comprising of Angry Bird fans gathering in most major cities (Android fans are invited too).   

Apparently, there’re plans to release console versions of Angry Birds on the Xbox, PS3 and Wii as well. Imagine playing Angry Birds using the Xbox Kinect.....:)

Moustache pig

I just ordered the moustache pig plush; just couldn't resist. The postage is a bit high, but this is such an exclusive item, it's worth it.

FINALLY passed level 3-9 on Halloween Angry Birds!

BTW, I've been trying to get past level 3-9 Halloween for over a month. I must have attempted it 200 times, and watched the "cheat" on YouTube dozens of times, and I SILL couldn't get it. But today, finally, the last pig was a goner.

When I first encountered this level I thought it'd be a piece of cake; the structure looked ramshackle. Boy was I wrong!

Oops, typos,

Meant to write "STILL", not "SILL". Sorry! Snort.
