  • OK @JLZ666, brain cells starting in engage. On the daily challenge, it's a two birder. First shot, a fairly high arc at medium power into gap between the first two left towers. The third tower will collapse on itself. The left tower is the important one. Hard to get all the blocks to die by being pushed around the donut. Second shot looks easy and it is, but to get all the points, there's a sweet spot. Wish I could remember where it is.
  • Ok @rat thank you. Sorry to get you reaching into the back of upstairs store cupboard at this time in the morning ;) I wish I could find that sweet spot on the 2nd throw because it has to be the key to the higher scores. I've had a couple of nice 105k's on first throw but that bloody 2nd just falls flat. I'll try again later at lunchtime. Cheers!
  • @JLZ666 I put my two cents in the walkthrough for ya.
  • Bernersenn says hello.
    Read some comments from last night and saw that you were worried about Happyshake. I think he will return to daylight as soon as the new space update is available.
    Beside that, I have looked to find a picture of @Rat's cyclone, think I found something: http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/bernersenn/album/picture/9305/
  • Congrats @annifrid !!
    and congrats @Pa for your #1 score inn levl #3 thanks @Sweetp ;)
  • @bernersenn, what you're doing man?!?! Quit diddling around with google image searches and start searching for some points! FWIW, that cyclone looks like someone's big fat thumb pressed against iPad glass...
  • @bernersenn nice mesocyclone you have there :)
  • @All On #14, are you guys still trying for the 1-birder or the 2-birder? Seems like 1b never happens, and I've had several 132-134k+ near misses from the 2b. Flubbed all the 2nd shots, though.
  • Thanks again @rat for the help. It didn't come to any good though! I only managed to play for 20 mins through lunch time and I'm putting in an eleven hour day today so my chances of trying again later when I get home are slim to none! Think I'll just stick the score I got this morning in and be done with it.
    Yeah I saw lesleyg's strat @kelani but not enough time or energy left. Oh and btw I'm the most horribly impatient person I know so no way was I waiting 30 mins. That's when I learned the trick ;)
    Gotta dash
  • @fenikus, I had troubles wit my female-dog today (I know, it's called a bi...) don't dare to use that word. She had a brooken tooth. Result: swollowed face, imflammation. Vet removed the teeth, so I spent a few hours in that clinic. Didn't thought that it would take that long, otherwise I had taken the Ipad with me. @kelani gave me some hope on #14 (not). Did some flings on the daily challenge, funny level and now returning to the river.
  • @fenikus, searching for points? I know where they are: #14. I have an idea: you give me you address, I sent to you my Ipad, you do that #14 and sent it back. I think that this will be the fastest way, don't you think? Look, even @rat and @kelani didn't get the one-birder on this one. This one will become a daily challenge, once
  • I feel your pain @bernersenn. 14 is ugly.
  • @Kelani You didn't try very hard on the challenge. I knew I would lose top score on that one today.
    WTG @Josephine
  • @Rat I haven't had time to play it yet.
  • Ok, that river thing is arranged - will ship the device this weekend, lol. For a short period I'm going into space (as you all know, I don't have a puppy yet)!
  • If the BP five pooled their scores in Rio I don't think we could be touched @Kelani.
  • @Rat Can't forget mrs. Bunny. We'd also need a new ABN user: @KelaFeniKaRatBunnyBern

    KaRatBunny, get it? :P
  • GRR. I've borked two +132k shots on #14 in the past 10 mins. I hate constipated white birds!
  • Ah...no. Carrot? Kefebeburaka?
  • @bernersenn, sorry to hear about your bitch Heidi, I hope she'll be fine. How did she break her tooth, was she chewing on a hard bone? Btw: there, I used the word. If you are clearly referring to a female dog, you can get away with it. Dog competition shows on TV here use the word and they use the most prim language. But you were wise to avoid the word, people's ears prick up when hearing it whatever the context, almost on reflex.
  • @bernersenn, I have a proposition for you: Let's trade our iPads. I think you have a newer, retina display iPad? Mine is old clunky iPad 2 which doesn't support HD, however it has 2,700 more BR points so I think the deal is quite fair :)
  • @Rat, I like @Kefebeburaka. It sounds delicious.
  • @fenikus hakuna matata? ipad 2's 1024x768, no? Now I'm confused. I could've sworn my mini's screenshots are 1280x???? or larger, but I'm pretty sure I don't have the retina display. Am I imagining thing again?

    If mine doesn't have HD, I sure feel stupid for buying the HD version.
  • @Kelani, maybe it was a misnomer. iPad 2 supports up to 720p, later models 1080p. On my iPad, many levels are sometimes severely cut off to the point that you can't see something valuable to destroy.
  • @fenikus, no, that wasn't the idea. #14 has to be done, with all respect but not all my scores are worse. I use a Ipad 3, not an Ipad air - that's the one from my company. Sometimes, I play a single level during my work - or use it when this is getting low on battery. Don't like playing when it's plugged to that cable. I quitted the Space, didn't work out
  • @fenikus whew, that's good to know. I could tell a big difference in the HD version's clarity, glad to know it wasn't confirmation bias. :) PC has some issues and benefits in the screen res dept.. My laptop's 1366x706, so every time I start Rio I get a popup saying I really need 1024x768 or higher. I don't see how people can play zoomed in w/small screens some of those bigger levels that pan around so much.

    One cool thing someone found in Space. If you play in windowed mode, and resize the screen to some weird ratios, you can find offscreen junk the designers left behind. In that Space level, there's a big structure hidden offscreen. Once someone found it, those old high scores went away fast. :)

  • @kelani, I got my #14 score with a 1-birder. Keep trying, you'll eventually get it!

    You're back on top in #3 @rat, congrats!

    Congrats on aceing all of your exams @annifrid! Enjoy the summer and happy flinging!
  • @Annifrid -- Congrats on the fantastic grades on your exams! Do you get to take the whole summer off, or at least part of it? Any special plans?
  • Thanks @SweetP. Easiest top score flingin' I've ever done.
  • @sweetp, now observe how weird this level is? #10 was a piece of cake for me, tried 2 or 3 times. Woppa, highscore. Level #14, I think, almost playing 2 weeks with some trips to other games - nothing.
    Although I must say that our yellow friend gives much better results for me as the combination bomb-concrete
  • @bernersenn, that level is horrid! It'll probably take me at least 100+ more resets before I nail this one...grrr!
  • @SweetP -- On the pain killers again, or? My avatar looks fine to me???
  • I was talking about the move to first @SweetP. It was horrid getting to second place.
  • @sweetp, @mvnla2, I suggested once to build in a counter for the resets. Wasn't a good idea - they said. I think I am way about >2000 resets. Zero, zip, nada. Level #19 was, just as @rat said a pixel-thing. And that worked. Pixels or no pixels, this one is going to work, even when it last to 1 december. Then, the Seasons countdown to christmas starts - no time for Rio
  • @SweetP I've never gotten that bounce in #10. If it weren't for all the scores and @fenikus video I'd say it's impossible. probably is, on PC.

    @Rat glad you got a #1 score back.. Oh wait, you have 2 now.
  • I swear, @mvnla2 your avy was not there! Just that gray box. Must be my PC, running very slow today. Curses satellite ISP!

    Well, I guess my mini-whine worked - kinda. I got the one birder but not enough debris damage to break 150K. *hangs head and picks up phone*
  • @SweetP I can't see what you're talking about in that pic. Also, clicking it takes you to photobucket login screen.
  • Hey everyone! ! I Was going to try and catch up BUT my Crazy sister came over abs now it's late!!
    @bernersenn sorry to hear about your dog :( hope she's feeling better. .poor thing will they replace the tooth?
    @Pa hope your feeling o.k after the procedure bet it was along day.. get some rest♥
    gotta catch up on pm's after i heat up dinner I'll be back
  • Sorry @kelani, I was trying to embed the screenshot, but can't do it here in the BP. Here's the link for the pic in my ABN album: http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/sweetp/album/picture/9313/

    It's showing that I got the cement plank to hit the tower, which took out the wood under the marmoset. You'd think the whole thing would've collapsed, but NO! It's so frustrating, I'm about to tear out my feathers!
  • @SweetP ah yes, I've seen that myself. Annoying freakin level. About as annoying as beating my best #17 score on ipad, then seeing PC score was higher :P
  • Finally a moment to myself; )My phone is really acting up soo idk how long I'll be here.. no way I can catch up..OB I need an extra strong Marmoset killer please... block your ears everyone. ..
