If the title of this story reminds you of an Onion story, that’s because this story could easily be on the satirical site’s front page. And yet, it’s totally true and totally awesome. The story started when Balazs Bank got an eVic-VTC Mini e-cigarette, which has an upgradable firmware. And, as would anyone, he knew that what was missing from his vape was the infamous mobile phenomenon, Flappy Bird. So, he used some magic (software skills) to port the game and, as the video shows, Flappy Bird plays surprisingly well on that vape. Reminds me a lot of this other story we wrote a few weeks ago where someone had Flappy Bird running inside a Super Mario World on a Super Nintendo. Yeah, crazy stuff.
Now, the question is how would you go about it: would you vape and have someone else play, or try and do both and increase the challenge of the already-insanely difficulty Flabby Bird? I don’t know, but it’s moments like these when I realize that humanity should feel hopeful for its future; with such ingenuity and with our skills and brainpower put to such great use, how can we not continue to thrive on planet Earth?

Wow, so much good stuff in this Update Mondays edition!
Thanks for calling attention to the interesting Doug Dug patch notes, I'd have missed that otherwise! (Great game, too. I haven't played it in a while and am reinstalling!)
The Crashlands update looks great (and the trailer is awesome too, of course!) but I already "finished" the game (via completing all of the quests) so I'm waiting for more quest content before I jump back in.
Grabbed Special Tactics, it's now on my queue of things to try out. As usual, "more games than time" is quite a nice problem to have!
The Sentinels new content goes on that queue as well!
Getting to write patch commentary in character as the Hulk must be amusing. :-)
Finally, shameless plug: Vigil RPG is only a buck now for the full game! Shaun said on Twitter that you should go by it, so go do that. I'll just wait here.
Hmmm, and here I wanted to plug Bertram Fiddle for being on sale for a dollar, but since it won't finish installing (just like when I finally had space and tried to install Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy), I guess I shan't!
Also, Shaun, that 4X game! I KNEW IT WAS YOUUUUUUU!
I'm so happy that Dead Trigger 2 is still being updated. I've spent over $100 on that game. The most in any game I've ever played. I love it. I can play it for hours. I hope they continue to update it forever lol. I wish they would add more to the story instead of more tournaments though.
Love reading 'Update Monday' articles and this was one of the best. I got quite a few chuckles, thanks Shaun, I really dig your style, whatever you write about.
The funny thing is that 'mimpi' actually means 'dream' in Malay. So the game's title is really 'Dream Dreams'. A bit like 'Sahara Desert' actually meaning 'Desert Desert'!
Then, if the true title is "dream dreams", then dreams is the noun, not the verb. Problem solved! ;)
"bury your face in this one and breathe in the high-quality vapors" + Hulk Smash = awesome update post.
The same old song no"BI☠SH☠CK c'mon 2K fix this.
At this point they should probably just hand out Steam coupons for people who bought that. It's not equivalent or accessible for everyone but it's better than nothing...
Is it fair to conclude that Steam by giving out coupons they know something we don't and that is that 2K isn't going to fix this? that is in my view the biggest problem that they don't communicate📡
SlotZ Racer 2 also got an update at last this week (and another bug fix one in review)
This Update Mondays made my day ❤️
