Few games have seen the quick rise to domination that Angry Birds has. Apparently, getting the chance to use a slingshot to hurl our fine feathered friends at odd-colored swine was a worldwide cultural itch that was just aching to be scratched. It’s hard to pinpoint just what it is about the game that causes young players to swipe obsessively until every three-star rating has been achieved, or why it has grabbed the attention of those usually old enough to be found in a Bingo hall in much the same way. And it probably makes your dear old granny curse just as much, if not more, as when the old-bitty next to fills out her Bingo card first.

If you’re reading this, then it’s quite likely that Angry Birds has made you an angry nerd at some point. If not, what are you waiting for?
