Geek Gear: Hungry Birds T-Shirt

Hungry Birds T-Shirt

This item is a double whammy. It manages to parody TWO major properties at the same time! How clever!

Of course, we all know Angry Birds and the Hunger Games at this point. Replace the Mockingjay from the famous Hunger Games pin with an Angry Bird and you've got the "Hungry Birds" T-Shirt!

This one is sure to make some folks do a double take because they're so used to seeing the Hunger Games pin and this shirt's design is similar but with a major tweak.

So what's next - Angry Games? I'm pretty sure that's already called UFC.

How Old Are You In Angry Bird Years?

Great... an alarm clock that looks AND sounds angry.

A recent Time story revealed that if you add up all of the time spent playing Angry Birds since it was released in 2009 you'd come up with 200,000 years. That's right - YEARS. I think I've added a year or two to that total myself... Hey, what can I say? I wanted to get three stars in every level. (mission accomplished, FYI).

So how old are you in Angry Bird Years?

First Impression: Angry Birds Card Game and Knock on Wood Game

In November there will be two Angry Birds games released. No, not for the computer but physical games.

Angry Birds Card Game

The first is the Angry Birds Card Game. What's confusing to me is the actual concept for the game. The solicitation says things like, "Knock out the object cards with your bird cards," and "Shoot the die to topple the golden eggs," Is there an actual dexterity skill involved in this game like throwing dice at targets? It doesn't seem likely but the game does come with a stand-up green pig king figure... Ultimately, I'd expect this game to play a lot like Uno - it's even advertised as being made by the same people.

The other game is called Angry Birds: Knock on Wood Game. Now in this game you DEFINITELY fling birds at an actual wooden structure with a slingshot. Sounds like a recipe for lost game pieces but it also sounds like a lot of fun!

Angry Birds: Knock on Wood

I must confess that before I wrote this post I had never played Angry Birds. I knew that it was a rave hit. So, needless to say, this post took me ten hours to write. I'm not joking.
