Today we discussed the way that games represent our world, we discussed some of the analogies between real world conflict and the themes in Angry Birds. Some interesting interpretations coming out from the class today, it's good that we can now have discussions with some focus.
Just to finalise some of our thoughts from the lesson leave an answer to these two questions below. What view of the world does ANGRY BIRDS offer? Could you use this to explain why the game is so popular? Leave comments here before Wednesday's lesson.

Angry birds is popular because it is fun and people enjoy playing stuff like that. It also gives people a bad view of the world by showing us not clearly that it shows us suicide bombers who will die for a cause.

Angry birds could be interpreted as what terrosrism is like in real life because the birds(eg.Terrorists) are trying to take back what they think is theirs and the pigs (eg. Goverment) have taken that.

I think that angry birds has the element of war as there are two 'sides.' The pigs have stolen the birds' eggs & the birds try to retrieve the eggs & this ends up in violence (the birds trying to kill the pigs). I think that it's so popular because of the violence. People seem to be addictive to it & it violence can be funny to some people.

My interpretation why angry birds is so popular is because it is sort of portraying war now good versus evil to get back a possession like many wars were there has been land or oil in a battle. And I also think it is quite popular because there is a goal to go towards and you get a hint of what the world is about.

Angry birds shows about the terrorist tacks because in the game the pigs took the egg and in real life the Americans took the oil which started war and that is what it shows.it might be so popular because people like violant games like call of duty and will take angry birds as a fun game as it is violent.

angry birds gameplay could also be seen as a terrorist type game because the birds are very similar to suicide bombers the way they act, however the game is extremely popular because it is simple and easy to use, and its not something you could do yourself in real life.

I think angry birds is good because whenever you get bored you can play this if you have access to an android phone and it has a bad view because you are trying to attack people's territory,

Angry Birds is an addictive game, so i wouldnt blame people playing it. However, the use of birds and the aim to kill pigs does seem quite harsh and could be reffered to 'Terrorism'. :)
