Vlog#1 - Addictions and [an analysis of] Angry Birds :: Why is Angry Bird's So Addicting??

Vlog#1
This is my first video, so I'm still learning and testing out different export settings. The fps and quality were a little weird so I apologize for that, and I will try to fix it before the next video. Also, I need to work on how I hold the camera as I walk as well. Next time, I'll try not to follow a script (you may notice that I constantly look off to the right of the screen). And I will definitely try to buy a new tripod soon.


Basically in this video, I talk about Addictions and answer a question that has been bothering me for a while:
"Why is Angry Birds so Addicting?"

Luckily, I missed VEDA, but I guess that's something you get to look forward to next year.

Haha 8:08 was the funniest.

And Angry Birds is overrated. Personally I would never buy that game. Wait, did you get addicted when you were playing that on the iPad?

And yeah, I like that "BABUCK" you did. Sounded just like the one that popped eggs. :D

Thank you for not jump-cutting every sentence. You had a interesting topic and you added touches of everything to the video. Making it worth watching.

I am addicted to the internet and Diet Coke. My favorite bird has to be the yellow one too. And that was the Smash Bros. Brawl song at the end obviously!
