You're wrong - Tao Lin is the Dong Nguyen of hipster literature

Warhammer Quest down to $0.99 - will grab based on the rec here

definitely, especially if you like xcom type stuff

tao lin comparison making me never want to touch this game

game much better than tao lin

You will do better on this game on drugs though

i got a gold medal and haven't really picked it up since, but there's a satisfying difficulty level and when you're in the zone it's entrancing

anyone try Threes? that's getting some hype right now

Number 1 on the App Store currently.

I haven't tried it, just looks like one of those games that would infuriate me.

OK, I take everything back. Threes is insanely addictive. I like how it gets where you think you're screwed, you make a couple of good moves and then you're DOMINATING.

ok this makes it actually suuuuuper easy

oh yeah and threes is fantastic.

haha wow can't believe i've been doing it wrong this whole time. thx for the tip slocks :)

@dongatory: I can call 'Flappy Bird' is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it.

love this guy

video v helpful ty i redownloaded it and it is fun now

woo just beat my high score

my new high score is 46. it feels good to be alive.

wow, you guys are terrible. my high score is 3,357

i'm assuming we're talking about our high scores on Threes

I only played threes once so probably not.

Dong Nguyen ‏@dongatory 16m
I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

If you want to play a game where you fly through as many pipes as possible, yes. If you want anything else to happen, no.

I tried three times to get past one pipe then deleted it

I got threw one

3

that poor bird

my Threes high score is 7,689. High number of 384.

ugh fine i'll download Flappy before it goes down

maybe that's all part of his evil plan! make people download it before it goes down, and then just keep it up. are you reading this, Dong Nguyen?? i'm ONTO you! and this is ALL of your fault! everything that's happening with this game, it's ALL YOUR FAULT

The dude is making $50k a day from flappy bird

I can't believe this

i wish i were making $50k a day from flappy bird

start coding

start flapping

hmm. every time i die, Flappy Bird crashes back to home screen. a portentous omen.

I beat my high score yesterday and got a silver medal instead of a gold................................................................................................................................................................................

what score did u get? afaict it goes 10 = bronze, 20 = silver, 30 = gold, 40 = platinum (just got a new highscore: 44!)

Oh I didn't realize the gold was actually a bronze

On a whim I was showing Carl what a dumb fucking game this is and got a high score of 5 while not even paying attention.

Dong Nguyen doing something that even Michael Jordan couldn't do. Walk away from the game at the peak of his prime. Damn. Respect.

lol

(just got a new highscore: 44!)

oh cool you almost beat me :)

DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FLAPPY BIRD UPDATE

It breaks the game

It makes it easier
