Angry Birds Addiction! [INFOGRAPHIC]

September 24th, 2011 No comments

I love Infographics and these nice and funny set of pictures are trending like anything and I like them a lot. So heres a Angry Bird Infographics that I found on the web and would like to share.

Angry Birds is an absolute epidemic. To date there have been over 300 million downloads and gamers are spending over 200 million minutes per day hurling birds.

The Angry Birds rage is more than just a game,  there are Angry Birds T-shirts, plushies, and edibles ranging from cakes to bento boxes. Mattel has made an Angry Birds board game and Rovio is spreading rumors of a feature length film on the horizon.

Other game creators have tried to match the success of Angry Birds to no avail. For one reason or another, these perturbed birds have captured the hearts and minds of time-wasters everywhere; Angry Turds and/or Chicks’n’Vixens fail to glean much success. After all, Angry Birds did prompt a contemporary philosophical masterpiece, “Angry Birds™ Yoga – How to Eliminate the Green Pigs in Your Life” by Brazilian Hare Krishna,  Giridhari Dasa.

Now that Angry Birds has the Google+ seal of approval, there is no stopping it from gobbling free-time while simultaneously inciting addiction.

Why is Angry Birds more addicting than all those other games? According to psychologist Michael Chorost, PhD:

  1. “It’s simple with no learning curve to get going.”
  2. “It’s rewarding- we get a primitive pleasure from blowing $HIT up!”
  3. “It’s realistic- the physics of the game are just as you’d expect.”
  4. “It’s funny- the creatures’ sounds, laughing and backflips.”

Check out the infographic below, “The Global Appeal of Angry Birds, A Story of Psychology, Sociology, and Addiction” by aytm, and discover the psychological make-up of an Angry Birds addict, maybe you will find that you fit the bill.
