This article is about the new game “Flappy Bird.” This game came out in mid-January. Flappy Bird is a very addictive and aggravating game to play. They call it the “Devil’s Bird.”"I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down," developer Dong Nguyen wrote on Saturday. "I cannot take this anymore." (Shoichet). This quote describes how the maker of Flappy Bird will be taking down Flappy Birds. My belief of why this game would be taken down is because, the game looks like Angry Birds and Super Mario. So the maker, Dong Nguyen, is taking the game down off of the web.
My connection to this article is my patience and not getting my homework done. Flappy Birds is the most difficult game you could ever play. So when people post their high scores on the internet, you wanna go farther than them. So it automatically pulls your attention away from what you’re suppose to be doing. My thought on the game being taken down is really surprised. The company was making $50,000 a day. That’s why I agree about Nintendo contacting about the recreation of Mario in 2007. Dong Nguyen will be taking the game, Flappy Bird, down in the next twenty two hours.

The quote “Hundreds of phones with "Flappy Bird" installed have suddenly appeared for sale on eBay at prices up to $15,000.” Supports the claim by how addictive it is and how crazy people are over this game.

I agree with what you said about how it is very difficult, and it takes up a lot of the time that you could be using to do more productive things with. Also, when people post their scores on line it drives me crazy and I always try to beat them. The only thing that I would suggest that you fix is the formatting because not all of it uses the same text.I really liked the picture that you used, and I enjoyed reading your post I found it very easy to relate with.
