Les Toreadors started the topic Piggy Reviews: Stella & The Animated Series in the forum Angry Birds Stella Forum (closed) 9 years, 5 months ago
Hello!
I’m usually found messing around the junkyards to make pigger and madder machines in Bad Piggies, but lately I find it makes little sense to stick with Bad Piggies as it hasn’t been updated in more than a year. Especially when there’s so much new content being released by Rovio recently, from Transformers to the interestingly colorful new…[Read more]

@kelani, with ref. to my extensive discussions regarding pork and bacon matters over the last two years – there are issues with game design and coding that interfere with fixing the issues the communities have pointed out.
And also on the PC debate – it seems each release platform has its own fair share of challenges that need to be surmounted…[Read more]

Thanks @abepa I’ll check it out and subscribe :)
Speaking of plush toys, the amusement park that opened near where I am living right now has a large stock of plush birds at reasonable prices. Then again paying Malaysian ringgit for anything is always awesome! However there is one ‘epig fail’ – they don’t have a lot of pigs. Only small kings and…[Read more]

Hahaha @mspat being a giant sized baby is fun. Jeremy Clarkson would definitely agree to that lol.
Admittedly I’m not very keen to try Angry Birds at first. But then I saw the PILLOWS (ok ok, plush toys), I just had to buy one!
I started playing when the ‘pillows’ arrived. Muahahahaha, die pigs!
Moral of the story – convert the naysayers with…[Read more]

Hint – I was in Malaysia several times over the past few weeks to “organize something” :3

The park is very well designed and well worth the modest ticket price for sure!
There are a lot of ‘secret areas’ accessible via crawl spaces too. Just be wary of low ceilings – they’re meant for kids!
For […]

To be fair many of those absurd listings are run by bots/computer programs so they don’t follow any sort of marketing logic whatsoever. There are many hilarious stories shared about bot on bot price wars on the most ridiculously small items.
The idea of using plain minion pigs with simple dress up works great. Here in the Pigineering department…[Read more]

Les Toreadors replied to the topic PC/Mac versions may be on the way out. in the forum General Discussions Forum 9 years, 5 months ago
@kelani, I have discussed the issue of PC versions for future titles with Rovio before and my findings were pretty much as you concluded.
There’s a huge problem with piracy on the PC platform, as well as easy availability of cheats and hacks that make it a poor platform. Lack of in-app revenue aside, the presence of communities who…[Read more]

@chiiyuen0109 I am from Malaysia as well and I teach physics to both large and small kids using Angry Birds and Bad Piggies. Also, plenty of halal jokes to pass around (within the family).
Ironically most of the enthusiasm I see now about Angry Birds are from old-ish kids and mothers, so it’s definitely not childish.
In the latest Rovio…[Read more]

Ha! Having pillow pricing issues? I used to collect Angry Bird plush toys back in 2010 and 2011 and there are virtually no local retailers that carried Rovio merchandise, and those specialty shops that would pop up in touristy areas charged as much as $50 for a small red bird. As though I needed any further excuses to totally boycott local…[Read more]

You haven’t seen the ultimate amazon.com listing for a plush piggy yet:
Behold! The Ten Thousand Dollar Postman Pig!
Rovio took my lighthearted post really seriously and investigated for real lol!
I’d love to see a Six Million Dollar Pig someday.. King Pig with real gold crown, maybe? :D

Dear all,
For the past several weeks I have been observing steadily increasing media attention on the new Angry Birds Activity Park in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Although the grand opening is today, 31 Oct 2014, there are a number of large sculptures and Angry Birds themed displays located at Komtar, JBCC.
