Angry Birds on Consoles

If you thought Rovio, the creators of the world's best selling app Angry Birds, were starting to stray away from the birds and towards other things like there two relatively new apps Amazing Alex and Bad Piggies, then you thought wrong. The first three Angry Birds games; Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio, are all now coming together in one giant Angry Birds game called Angry Birds Trilogy available now on the Nintendo 3DS as well as on the X-Box 360 and PS3. But don't worry this isn't just another shameless port of the same game in yet another attempt at a massive money grab from all the millions of addicted Angry Birds gamers. Rovio has said that there will be "exclusive content, and stunning new visuals" as well as support for Street Pass features on the 3DS version and something called lightning modes for all versions.

This sounds pretty good right? Well not really. If you were to buy all the games that come in Angry Birds Trilogy on your Android device it would cost a total of zero dollars, and buying it on your iPhone would cost you just under three dollars. The costs hover around plus or minus three dollars for the three games no matter where you look. But if you were to buy Angry Birds Trilogy on your 3DS it would cost you $29.99! That is ten times the cost compared with mobile devices, and you only get enhanced visuals and a few other minor features. And that isn`t even the worst. Buying Angry Birds Trilogy on your X-Box 360 or PS3 will cost you even more at $39.99! This is what I would call a rip off on a massive scale. Come on Rovio, enough is enough. I`d love to know what all of you think though. Would you fork over forty bucks for this?

Recommendations of the Week: October 3rd

Welcome back to another edition of Recommendations of the Week. Can you believe that it's already October? Today we're going to look at something completely random.





Lunch of Champions:

Back in the summer when I was working full time (I'm back at school now so the blog is the only work I do) I used to eat out everyday since I worked at a pretty big mall and there was a food court. But I liked to save money so I usually just ate at Tim Hortons (though I often splurged and bought other things). So since I ate so much Tim Hortons I needed to spice it up there so I wouldn't get tired of the same food, so I slowly managed to have a bit of everything and try different combinations of everything and here are my top two favourites. So next time you're at Tim Hortons try getting these combos both for under six bucks.





Combo One:

I loved to get a raisin cinnamon bagel toasted with butter and a Boston Creme donought and a butter croissant on the side. This combo gives you a bit of everything so there is no going wrong. But if you're looking for a little more of a substantial that covers a few more of the food groups then take a look at combo two.

Combo Two:

This combo is made up of a Toasted Chicken Mini with a soup (usually the chicken noodle) and a donought. The Toasted Chicken Mini's are small as the name implies but it doesn't matter because when you throw in a soup on the side and a donought you realize you have quite a bit there. It's like eating a little of a lot, which is definitely the way I like to eat.

App Bites #34: BBC News

I love my news, and I love my news apps. I've talked about one of my favourite apps called Pulse before which is a great app that puts all the articles from your favourite sources all in one spot. But for people who want perhaps what you could call a more "main stream" app for news, then I suggest checking out the BBC News app. The app is set up a lot like Pulse, the main difference being that the BBC is the source for the articles and as such there aren't as many articles. Pulse can tend to overwhelm you with articles to read, although that's not necessarily a bad thing, whereas BBC News is a little neater and split into categories a little bit better in my opinion. In Pulse you can only pick which sources you want articles from, and thus get every single article from that source. With BBC News you get all the articles, but they're split by category, as I mentioned. So if you want some news in one nice clean area and happen to love the BBC, then check out this app and pick it up for free over here in the Play Store.

Brick Wars #39

Always good to have some of that ancient Gungan wisdom on hand. It comes in handy an awful lot, I find. In fact, I try to live my life by following at least one piece of Gungan wisdom per day.

And I originally had this scene be the end of the chapter, and they would jump to lightspeed afterwards, but I decided that the story needed more closure than that, and extended it. To see how I'll do that, tune in next week!

See ya,
