[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16148320, member: 181885"] Nobody believes me when I tell this story, but I programmed Angry Birds before Angry Birds existed. I started programming PC games in 2003, and I'd hand them out as freeware. One of them was a physics game where you launched snowballs with a slingshot to knock over Christmas-themed objects. The game tracked the snowball until it made contact, then added points based on the damage. Christmas trees, little Elves running along, even Santa was running around way out there. If the ball didn't have enough velocity, objects wouldn't topple. It was my version of an "elf bowling" game which was popular at the time. Several years later, the first Angry Birds came out and it was eerily similar to what I had programmed. Had I just marketed and expanded on my version, damn I would be retired now. Other trivia? Too much to mention. I'm like a slightly-less-retarded Forrest Gump. Some of the stories I have are seriously unbelievable, but completely true. [/QUOTE]
