angry birds

This week you might need to grab a box of tissues and that’s not just because of our unrelenting dad sexiness but also because we’re going to be getting all emotional in emotions week as we start things off by counting down the top 5 Tearjerkers, the movies that squeezed tears out of the empty space where our souls used to be.

Todd Solondz's 1998 black comedy HAPPINESS is a movie so relentlessly dark I had to watch it with night vision goggles on. Sort of focusing on the unhealthy relationship between the Jordan sisters; Helen, a bored celebrity ice queen author with fantasies of sexual violence, Trish, an unfulfilled housewife trapped in a sham marriage and Joy, a sensitive but dim-witted free-spirit searching for love, this is also the kind of movie where mouth-breathing incels lounge around in their underwear making abusive phone calls whilst jacking off, a lonely frump seeking connection murders and dismembers her neighbourhood rapist and the final scene features an 11 year old boy triumphantly announcing they've achieved their first ever orgasm. Not to mention the film’s most infamous scenes featuring Dylan Baker's Bill, a predatory psychiatrist which I have in fact now mentioned. HAPPINESS is not a bad movie but it is a deeply unpleasant one, with its depressive mood and view of mankind as putrid, self-involved slaves to their nastiest impulses becoming absolutely over-bearing by the end. Maybe that's the point, this isn’t the most profound movie of all time.

In our final section of the show we'll be exploring anger via the medium of animated birds and fascist pigs trapped in an endless cycle of violence with Netflix’s ANGRY BIRDS SLINGSHOT SERIES.  Slingshot? Slingshit more like.

We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.

Until next time, we remain...

Xbox Games studios har vist frem spillene som kommer den nærmeste tiden, og det er ikke akkurat blandede følelser i studio om hva man synes om det. Obsidian har vist frem Avowed sitt nye rollespill, men hva er det som gjør at alle spill med studioets navn er en fantastisk spillopplevelse? Clockwork revolution sammenlignes med Bioshock Infinite, eller gjør det egentlig det? Zofia har løpt fra T-baner, mens Stian har blandede følelser om det nye Avatar spillet. Og har det blitt nok prat om Prey i dette programmet enda? En ting er sikkert, Sander er dritt lei, og forsøker å løse problemet.

When Netflix first entered the games biz, many in the industry scoffed. But their partnership strategies and platform-agnostic mobile approach has shown promise. Now the news of a former Halo developer joining Netflix to create a new AAA IP has us thinking: A cross-platform, live service game on PC and consoles that's "free" to play with a Netflix login could be a massive hit — if the game is great.

We discuss the shifting live service landscape, our excitement for Stardew Valley 1.6, Sega buying Angry Birbs for mere pennies, and why we must protect Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) at all costs.

Dave and MJC both saw the Super Mario Bros. Movie and played the Xdefiant beta this week! Find out if MJC could tolerate Chris Pratt’s voice and if Dave and MJC think XDefiant has what it takes to compete. 

In the news this week, there was a Nintendo Indie World, some low-key acquisitions took place and there are some shake-ups at Media Molecule. 

Plus Dave is really pleased with how the Super Mario Bros. movie turned out.

Today we are talking about space, birds and startups! Here’s what Alex got into:

• Earnings season is coming back! That means Netflix and Tesla this week, and a huge number of big tech companies next week. Data cometh.
• We were very excited about the launch of SpaceX's massive rocket. It got scrubbed after we recorded, but you can still enjoy our hype about the potential event. We'll have more on the matter when the rocket actually does go up.
• Rovio is selling to Sega. Yeah, we had to digest that one as well. The sale price shows just how tough it is to be a games company.
• There's a lot of regulation going on out there in the world.
• And we wrapped with notes on Loopin and Fleet!

See you at Early Stage later this week!

On this episode of Global Victoria Tech Talks, host Varun Duggirala is joined by Daniel Visser, Founder, Managing Director and Executive Producer at Wicked Witch, an Australian independent video game development studio with over 20 years of experience. Varun and Daniel talk a ton about the video game industry - Daniel’s interest in video games from a very early age, how he started writing simple basic programmes of 'text adventures' in primary school, then moving onto make better games in high school with better graphics, learning programming by himself at a time with no internet or even CD-rom drives, doing business programming in college, and more.

They also discuss Daniel’s incorporation of his own game development studio, hiring people from World of Warcraft, impact of mobile phones in the gaming ecosystem, game development for Nokia phones back in the day and comparing it to the industry today. The discussion then shifts to Melbourne as a hub for gaming and the ecosystem there that helped Wicked Witch tremendously over the years, and lots more.

Der tägliche Nachrichten-Podcast der deutschen Startup-Szene

Heute u.a. mit folgenden Nachrichten:

• Tesla ab sofort bei Tchibo erhältlich
• „Angry Birds“-Erfinder baut künstliche Ostsee-Insel
• LinkedIn-Belegschaft bekommt diese Woche arbeitsfrei
• Kopiert Kosmetikgigant Beiersdorf das Startup Ave + Edam?
• 1,1 Millionen Dollar Strafe für Uber wg. Nichttransport von Blinden

Und für den Experten-Check in der Rubrik "Investments & Exits" begrüßen wir heute Christian Hoppe, Managing Director Silicon Valley Bank

Desde  Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter y Silent Hill hasta Tomb Raider, Rampage y Angry Birds, estamos hablando sobre las películas basadas en vídeo juegos.  Las mejores, las peores, las más o menos y hasta las más menos que más.  No están en ningún tipo de orden en específico (o talvez si -?)

La mejor película es la adaptación live action de la Legenda de Zelda: Ocarina of Time (insertar emoji triste aquí).

From breaking the nose of a 90's sex symbol to pecking a woman to death - these angry birds mean business!  Hitchcock knew exactly what he was doing when he made 'The Birds'!

Vegas Film Critic (Jeffrey K. Howard) speaks with actress Rachel Bloom as she voices the character of Silver in Angry Birds 2.
