Everyday at work (or when I was in school), I see kids with Angry Birds tee-shirts. "Bird is the word", "This is my angry face", misc. stuff like that. Nowadays at work I sometimes see adults wearing them too. I've never seen such mass appeal for a game. I can't go one day without seeing someone wearing something Angry-Birds related. Back when I had my iPhone I got it to see what the hype was about, and it didn't seem that fun. What am I missing? Why is this so highly regarded?

i just can't believe how many kids (and i guess teens/adults too, they need clothing) have Angry Virds merchandise. never knew it was this popular. I've never seen a game/app have so many fans.

I'm pretty terrible at it so I remain baffled at the popularity.

I actually like the designs for the birds and pigs . But the actual games I just don't find fun there boring to me. So I think people just like the characters

I thought I was the only one
Whenever someone takes my iPad, the first thing they go on is Angry Birds and then they wonder why my scores are so low. I never play, and never understand why it's addictive[SIZE=1] Check out my South Park episode ideas in my user notes (Note: It's the fifth and last note): http://www.nohomers.net/usernote.php...ewuser&u=41294

Don't care for Birds because I never liked physics games...except for the online game Tanks, and that's only because you're playing against a friend.

I don't have an iPad or iPhone, so no experience on this game for me.
I'll say it's because people are bored and have nothing better to do with their free time.

I will admit to owning a hoodie with an Angry Bird on it. But that was mostly to please my 4-year old nephew who loves Angry Birds.
The game doesn't do that much for me overall, it's just a little too simplistic for me. At the same time, it's something that's good for helping you unwind after a long day.

are you dismissing the addictive quality of Angry Birds, Temple Run, or both?
'cause if it's Temple Run or 'both'...

I like Angry Birds. It's simple, but fun and somewhat addicting. I wouldn't buy any Angry Birds merchandise, though.

I played this game so much about a year ago.
Not so much now.
It's a fun time killer.
