OB's Puffer Placement
OB's Puffer Power -
Erm Oopsy!!

AAACK I have to pick up my Bro in Law at the airport tonight! It would be not good if I forget that!!! -
I really think it is the head that holds the key. Let me explain in a bit more detail.
On ABF level #6 today. I had been playing that level the same way for 3 days. Last night I started noticing the difference of damage in the way he lands. He was always landing either on his side or on his belly. The belly blast was always more productive and violent. Today, while trying to get a few insurance points on @mighty, I hit the second shot and OB came to rest on his head. As he expanded, the level pretty well disintegrated before my eyes and gave me an extra 7k on that level. All from landing on his head. -
@ABcrazy. There is no way to control it. It's all in the luck of the bounce. But if you pay attention to the way he lands, you can definitely tell the difference in reaction.
-
Proof in theory. Just played HH 1-1 again. Got him to land on his head and came only a few hundred points from my current score. I wonder where a good place to report this finding would be so I can share it with others. I know it would be stupid to find every level with OB in it and post it there. Perhaps a quick PM to the BL & AMslim would work.
-
@kimmie If he lands on his head, look out! It is catastrophic.
-
Sweeeet! A head kill!! Niiiice yeah not sure where you'd post a wicked find like that @Ripsy but I'm sure either of them would know where's best to report it.
@abcrazy yep diff places hence the always lacking in rain thing for me :(
Alrighty it was really nice to catch up with you @Ripsy! :)
You both have a great night, it's unlikely you'll be up when I pop back in later, if I get the chance that is! ;) -
@rdnzlrips82 -- Very interesting observation. Would love to know if you can figure out how to control it.
-
-
Night @ABcrazy.
-
Hello, am I missing some thing
-
Good morning @all!
@Ripsy - Haha, in the beginning I didn't use PU's in FB, but when all my friends started using them, I was so far away from their scores so I decided to use power ups too, 'cause otherwise I had no chance to compete with friends. At the moment I'm leading the tournament, but one friend is only 3k behind me so I probably have to play a bit more before the tournament ends :D
Blah, I think I need to clean up the house a bit...Again it looks like there had been some hurricane or something :/ I was thinking that maybe I'll clean up before we get out in the afternoon. A friend of mine called yesterday 'cause he's organizing a surprise party to his wife tonight. There's a canal pretty close to where we live and there is a restaurant so we're going there to have few drinks. It's a very beautiful place :D Here's the link to their web page: http://www.muroleenkesakahvila.fi/index.php?k=113233 there you can see the picture of the place :D -
YAY! It's the day of my 1 year anniversary at the nest!
Okay, @all, prepare for another one of my dragging tales.....
Yesterday (Thursday) me and my mom went to my cousin Zachary's high school graduation ceremony. Longest thing since that wait at the dentist's office that one time. When we went outside, there was a BIG ULTRA HUGELY MEGA FREAK THUNDERSTORM (tornadoes also). Now, before we got there, it was already raining and thundering. We could hear the thunder in the building (the Verizon Arena). But these were TORRENTIAL RAINS!!!!!!! We ended up half-running barefooted three blocks to our parking spot and being threatened by lightning that sounded like grenades blowing up 50 feet away. We had no umbrella going in or out, but an umbrella wouldn't have changed anything going outside the building. Well, It takes 2 and a half hours to get back home. We're at my uncle Jeff's house to stay away from the storm that messed up our schedule completely. We were supposed to be home by now, if not before. Originally, my dad was taking off work to come with us, but he had a dentist appointment, but not a check-up. It's this thing with his tooth that's been going on for about a year now. But that is a story for another comment. He didn't come, meaning his spoiled little self wouldn't just HAVE to come and do something for the rest of Friday at Hattiesberg to wait for my own ceremony there which is tomorrow. I got to do this Duke talent search thing where they take 8 graders (and 7 graders too I think) to take the ACT or SAT. I made a 23, the highest overall score that I know of in my school. I got a good enough score for state recognition. And I was THAT>"." close to national recognition!!!! So we are leaving ASAP this morning to go back home, even though we were going to leave Thursday night. Then we will leave ASAP after THAT to take the 5 hour trip to Hattiesberg and get a hotel there so we can make it to the ceremony tomorrow in the morning, hopefully on time.
And the tooth thing..... to make a long addition to a story short, one day last summer my dad was eating at work and one of his teeth came out. The insurance company was supposed to help but didn't, putting my family through financial pain and my dad through physical pain up until this point forward. They have said for a long time that it's almost done, but 2-3 surgeries and what will soon be 2 tooth replacements over the span of less than a year...... just because of one little front tooth...... say otherwise.
Okay, my novel is done.
-
What happened to the challenge on page 1?
-
And where is everyone?
-
@tas!!! I know you're not keen on hugs but it's a Mumsie (((hug))) !!
Well done you on your score and Happy Anniversary !
Gosh must have been scary (& wet) means everyone will remember his graduation as the one you all nearly got drowned!
OB - whatever @tas wants - my treat!
OB whatever is the matter? Yes I did hear the discussions about you in the BP - noooo you have it all wrong @ripsy thinks that not only are you the best bar tender in the world but you are have awesome powers in the fight against the pigs! He was just sharing the best way to use them! (Though in m y own case I have enough difficulty getting you to explode at the right time, trying to check your head position as well would be too many factors!) -
Hi @mumsie that's really nice of you!
-
Yikes @tas that's quite a story!! Thank goodness you got to the house safely! And you went there to get OUT of harms way? Ooopsy I think the storm followed you!! :/ Have a great time tomorrow! Is your Dad going to be there? Not sure I understood but it sounded like he missed not your graduation but someone else's? And really great job, what a smarty pants you are! :D
Had Another thing happen tonight to add to the last few days of recon! I'm still trying to get over the ick factor of it! But I promise to fill you in on it tomorrow night!! Of course tomorrow night sounds like you'll be awful busy but the story won't go anywhere so you'll get it when you get back! Have a grand time of it!! Your heading to high school then am I correct? Have fun tomorrow!! Hope there's no storm following you again!! -
@kimmie I'm at my Uncle Jeff's house, 2 1/2 hours from home.
-
While Ripsy is probably tucked up in bed, those of us in the waking world are struggling with today's challenge. Grrrrrr I've managed to improve my score by the huge amount if 260!
The only good thing was the pig with cane failing off his perch, and using it as a pogo stuck along the ground. But even he failed to die Grrrrrr -
Hello everyone.
Good heavens -- I swear I was just here recently, and yet there have been pages and pages of excited chatter my last visit. How nice to see so much activity!
It sounds like there has been some serious, down-and-dirty, furious flinging going on; how wonderful! It gives me inspiration.
I finally acquired a stylus for my iPad Mini, and it makes a HUGE difference in playing AB on that device, at least for me. Much less awkward angle for my hand, easier on my wrist, and I can see what the heck I'm flinging at.
Not that it's done me any good finishing levels levels 2-8 and 2-12 in ABC -- I cannot get to 3 stars in those levels to save my life. Just have to keep trying, I guess.
@Lisko -- If you are playing the ABF tournaments, I would love someone to play against (although you're probably guaranteed to win every time, because I never use the PUs). Or anyone else who likes the tournaments; let me know. More fun to play with friends. :-)
Now it's time to get my car windshield replaced (it developed a crack somehow) and get a new inspection sticker.
Hope everyone has a good day/evening, and may all your piggies roll over and die! -
@tas Doncha just hate those torrential downpours! They always seem to come just as you are trying to get somewhere.
Congrats on the Duke talent search thing. My son did it last year, but he didn't score so well. We didn't do a very good job helping him prepare.
I hope your dads tooth is better soon. -
@JunkenMetel - Send me a PM with your name so I can add you :D I don't always use PU's 'cause I've refused to buy them so I'm going with those I can afford with the AB coins :D
-
@TAS -- So is the ceremony in Hattiesberg for your score in the Duke talent search? Congrats!
@Junkenmetel -- Which stylus did you get? I'm ready for a new one. They don't last all that long if you do a lot of flinging with them. Buy some extra tips if you can. The tips on mine only last a few months, and they don't sell replacements. -
Hi to @all. I missed you all last couple days. I am on vacation but unfortunatelly I don't enjoy it very much because it is so cold for the end of May and it was raining every single day. I was in Zagreb, which is capital of Croatia to see Picaso's exhibition there.
@mvnla2 you got me into Rhett Allain's articles about AB physics in Wired Magazine and book will soon be available in Amazon store http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1426211724/ref=sib_dp_ptu#reader-link. I hope it will really be out on 4th June, as I am going to order it for my girls. -
@Cosmo2503 I only visited Zagreb once, it rained all day!
@Annifrid Welcome. As a new patron you are entitled to a meal and drinks on the house (alcohol only for the over 21s)
Orange Bird is the bar tender and the blue birds will wait on you.
The team that run the place, Kathy, Ripsy, Sunshine, aren't in at the moment, but will welcome you later.
Are you new to bird flinging, or just new to the BP? -
@Annifrid I forgot two of the team: Estar and AngerManagement. My excuse (however poor) is that they are such awesome flingers, I just didn't associate them with running the bar.
Oh Dear, now I've upset the other three of the team, as though they're not awesome flingers too :-) -
@Hunnybunny - Just new to the BP. I started playing AB some half a year ago, I'm trying to get all my Star Wars scores above average at the moment.
I'm not 21 yet but in the country where I live, I'm actually of legal drinking age, here you can drink whatever you want as soon as you're 18. But 21 is OK, I don't really like alcohol anyway.
As for the food, I'd really like to taste bacon ice cream, I've never had that before :) -
@Annifrid OB bacon ice cream for Annifrid please
If I'm not being too inquisitive, are you Scandinavian? Just the name:-)
I only play Seasons at the moment, but SW is calling. Just have to get my scores above average, into the top 100, into the top 50. I'm a bit competitive -
@Hunnybunny Not really, I'm from somewhere in central Europe.
But you're absolutely right with the name - Annifrid was actually the lead singer of my favorite band, which was from Sweden :-) -
@Annifrid possibly Waterloo, Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia?
-
Or am I showing my age?
-
@Hunnybunny Exactly :)
-
@Annifrid I'm off to kill some stubborn piggies! Speak again soon. Nice to meet another bird flinger :-)
-
Hi all! EVerybody enjoying their fling time?
I see we got a new visitor, welcome Annifrid and this place is open to everyone in need of a little downtime from the ongoing war against the green bacon :)
@hunnybunny, thanks for the introduction. And I can understand why you don't associate me with running the bar, cause well, I am not allowed anywhere near the kitchen, OB gives me the evil eye when I do, sheesh only blew the kitchen up once LOL... No I am the artist of the BP :)
Ow and ermmm angermanagement may be here a lot and helping out when the team is not around, but he is not a team member. @Angryboy is actually, he hasn't been around much, which for a teen is a good thing imo... Hoping he is enjoying the outside and playing with his friends!
