Angry Birds Just Did A Smash Or Pass Challenge And It's Weirding Everyone Out

Angry Birdsis no stranger to a weird marketing campaign. It’s desire to remain relevant on social media has led it to some truly strange places, includinga brief, light-hearted Twitter beef with indie darling Cult of the Lamb.

In May, just 18 months after the launch of the Wii U, the company was spiraling out of control, and looking for ways to quickly bring in some revenue that they weren’t getting from console or game sales.

It’s an empty world with next-to-no life—even the colours are drained away. All that’s left behind are scant survivors who cling to an existence not worth holding onto. It’s impossible to grow new food, there are no animals to farm, and so the remnants of humanity are left to slowly die out as they hoard a dwindling supply of decaying scraps....

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves&D Spells

There’s no doubt that the makers of Dungeon & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves took some level of artistic license regarding the use of certain abilities, spells, and features. For example, in one scene the party’s druid Doric shapeshifts into a collage of different creatures even though the wild shape ability only allows a finite number of changes.
