We all know that Angry Birds is probably the greatest game to ever grace mobile gaming. It ranks just behind the fart app and that app that costs $10,000 on the list of greatest apps ever created. There is something so primal about launching birds into pigs.
It probably reaches back to our days as cavemen. I mean, back then it was cool to have a bird, but what good is a tiny little blue bird going to do when you have all the cave women flocking to you because you invented fire. They want to have you cave babies, but it's not going to happen with a little avian creature. So what did our ancestors do? They launched those tiny birds at pigs. It was then they that were able to harness the delicious pork products. And that's how bacon was invented.
So for crimson to be effective at all, it needs to be able to break the hold that angry birds has on the market. It needs to beat the game which tells the story of our ancestors inventing bacon so they could make sweet cave love to the cave women all night and populate the world.
So Crimson needs two things. Food and women. Those are the two most basic needs of life. We need food and we need to reproduce. Crimson must include a food greater than bacon. It will be a hard task, but I think we can do it. My personal suggestion would be [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YsE8j6OioQ]deep fried butter[/url], but we can decide that later.
Secondly we need women. Lots and lots of women. Bungie, if you're listening, I would place a call to [url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/p/pirates_caribbean2_060627/flip-.jpg]Keira Knightley's[/url] agent. She is definitely a 10 and she knows how to play the pirate roll. Johnny Depp in a bikini might also be a little bit of a turn on. But definition some pirates with some skin showing would be clutch.
Angry Birds set the precedent. They built a best selling game by telling the tale of our ancestors getting women with bacon. Now Crimson needs to not just follow the blueprint, but follow the blueprint x10. We need MORE delicious foods and MORE women. That's the key. Hopefully Bungie knows what they're doing.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] burritosenior When you're only on 'I' devices it's sort of hard to take down something like angry birds completely.[/quote] The engine that CSP uses runs on; - iOS ('I' devices as you called them), - Android, - Windows (XP through Win7) - Mac For some very odd reason bungie pushed back on the release, this despite HBS having supplied video of it running on all three platforms. It was the same with the iPhone release. The bungie '[i]master plan[/i]' had it as a great idea to stagger the platform release ... like WTF?!? The ironic part of this is the way bungie call Microsoft "[b]controlling[/b]" when it did similar stuff (eg ODST). At least Microsoft owned the halo series (and bungie) - here HBS are being held back from possible markets. (A conversation which comes up in Indie dev forums when aerospace is mentioned) Even putting all this to one side. Comparing Angry Birds (and its follow-up versions) to CSP [b]on iPhone/iPad alone[/b] CSP is still WAY behind. And if you compare weekly download stats its fallen further behind each week (guessing many of the initial takeup was from the bungie fanclub).
